Hi all, sorry for not being more consistent about this newsletter—it really is my favorite thing to do since pivoting away from public social media, but lo and behold life is chaos and my body? It sucks! Anyways feel free to dedicate a tweet thread to how I’m a scourge on the planet (wouldn’t be the first time!) if that makes you feel better. Needless to say I love having you here, and hope you understand the infrequency is not for lack of desire, but because I move at a snail’s pace and am juggling many projects and a healthy dash of personal chaos as well as profound ennui about the state of the world. As we all are, I’m sure.
Today: detritus I’ve found on my desktop. If it sounds like a Hail Mary for content, boy are you right! On the other hand, wow do I have a real gift/curse for collecting poignant images. I hope you enjoy, maybe don’t open this one at work.
1. Shrek fleshlight
2. Still from the Netflix show “Sexy Beasts” / Living in America:
3. Dog thinks parade is for him (classic)
4.Review for tiny dog socks purchased because “our boys slip and slide all over.” The verdict? Not recommended, WORTHLESS
5. AXE body spray condemns storming of the Capitol
6. Cormac McCarthy (coming out with two new books later this year!!!) fake tweet about the suction vibrator
7. Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, publishes op-ed about billionaires filling voids
8. One of many cartoons I have made about Jeff Bezos. Democracy dies in darkness amiright!
9. Speaking of voids, former Governor of NYC Andrew Cuomo with these perfect visuals next to him. “We created a void by not producing enough public information fast enough.” My dude don’t blame the void.
10. We’re back to Bezos and I downloaded Canva to make this.
11. Other things I’ve made with Canva: my most important message, now Instagram friendly. Please raise awareness of this important cause.
12. It’s based on this Tweet, I deleted Twitter because [redacted]
13. I was also terrible at Twitter, which felt embarrassing as a “writer.” Luckily I enjoyed a brief period as a Birdfluencer.
14. Thank you to the Other Man!
15. Okay something I actually love besides Shrek Fleshlight, Jenny Holzer.
Below, a picture of my perfect dog. xoxo shelby and clem
