Dec 16 Weekly Roundup #90: Pockets and sweatsuits

As I mentioned last week, this will be my last roundup of 2019. I’m with my family and want to prioritize spending time with them (and all the puppy cuddles, of course!). I hope everyone has a very happy holidays and I’ll see you in 2020!

Reading

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, J.K. Rowling. Ok, I didn’t get much reading done last week, but hoping to this week!

How to Never Carry a Bag in the Winter: An Aggressive Pocket Experiment, Man Repeller. I am alllllll about this.

Little Women Is A Big, Important American Masterpiece. Let's Treat It Like One. Elle. Well, now I want to reread this book.

How Do I Get Over Anxiety About Checking My Bank Account? Self. I really like the idea of cash-only weeks.

If I Die, Bury Me In A Matching Sweatsuit, Into the Gloss. And now I want a sweatsuit. But why are they all so expensive??

How Not to Feel Dead Tired This Winter, The New York Times. Welp…I walk 15 minutes on one part of my commute, I don’t drink coffee and I don’t have to get up as early anymore so….guess I just have to stock up on produce because that’s the only thing left!

Merriam Webster Names 'They' as Its Word of the Year for 2019, Time. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 and lol at the “runner up”

Chicago rapper Juice WRLD dies at 21, NBC. This is such a tragedy. His lyric from his song “Legends” goes, "What's the 27 Club? We ain't making it past 21," and it’s horrifying because it’s so true. All these young rappers dying and a lot of it is due to drug use. It’s horrible.

The Hays Code Made Hollywood Hell On Earth For Women, Refinery29. Think how different the film industry and even society could be had the Hays Code not been instilled.

For Beyoncé, Creativity Is the Ultimate Power, Elle.

Peloton Woman needed a drink after her viral ad. She got one in new spot for Ryan Reynolds’s gin. The Washington Post. L👏🏼O👏🏼L, what a quick turnaround on Aviation Gin’s part. Also…the husband in the Pelaton ad was talking about how he was being portrayed as sexist and that’s “totally” not him and then he made his Instagram handle @pelatonhusband…ok.
