I write to you today from bed, thinking about what it takes to soothe a tired-anxious heart. Why ice baths and masturbation are calming. How to remember to love the world.

Your comments on this newsletter were so inspiring. Thank you for making this web of support and connection with me—I adore you!
I am super excited to share our list of things we've been into lately. I hope you find something in here that makes you feel hungry for the world.

Also, it's APRIL!! Hooray!

All my heart,

Carissa

Here are a few things we're thinking about this month.

What Spring looks like from space.

Is love dead? Did capitalism kill love?

Falling deeply, madly in love—platonically.

Absolutely freaking adorable salt-n-pepper shakers.

THIS BRILLIANT WEARABLE ART BY ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS IS ON SALE!

A visual for why you should pursue your art.

Mona Hatoum's sculptures are so visceral.

Jenny's new book!!!! About how we are living on the wrong clock and it is destroying us.

The new Freda spring drop is SO good. I have my eye on those white fisherman sandals... now I just need a cute rainbow skirt to wear with it.

Obsessed with this trippy teapot.

This Hidden Brain on how our beliefs shape reality is illuminating.

I am mentally... here.

I devoured this post on what books to put in a guest room.

And here are some books recommended by exes.

The MOTHER relaunch is wonderful. Two of my favorite interviews published recently are: At Home with Kate Baer and At Home with Savala Nolan (who I also interviewed last year!).

Sock obsession.

The new Peter Rabbit edit by Meri Meri is vintage joy.

See you next time,
