tiny newsletter #40: is there a good joke about getting a second ear piercing?

hello hello, happy fri!

it's been a big week over here – i got second lobe ear piercings with fotn eleonora saravalle, went to new jersey for work two days in a row, and now my parents are in town! what do you think my odds are of convincing them to end up here in nyc with me?!

this week i...

👂 ordered ready-made hoop earrings. my piercing heals in 3 wks but you better believe i've already gone shopping. this brand doesn't use any mined metals, is hypoallergenic, and it's affordable too. also, the founder jennifer is awesome!! (who remembers obwdyd?)

📺 watched seinfeld. i'd seen clips before but never an episode, and wow, have i been missing out. it's timeless, relatable, and so freakin funny. if the characters are a personality test i'm most like george, but this line from jerry felt v me.

☎️ dialed a poem. in 1968, artist john giorno created dial-a-poem, a project in which anyone could call a phone number and hear a recorded poem. it still exists today – call +1 (917) 994-8949! i must tell you, it's one random poem/call and some were darker than i expected. even so, the concept stole my heart.

❤️‍🔥 an ode to uniqlo heat tech ❤️‍🔥 temps have dropped in nyc and my parents just brought all my sweaters from home. but i've been totally fine in the meantime bcuz i had heat tech from uniqlo! it's a whole line of thin thermal layers that keep you impressively warm. 12/10!
