These are trying times indeed. I have had stress insomnia for a fortnight and although I live in the UK the world news feels like watching a tsunami approaching.
So: I agree on soft materials, and I add daily interactions with animals with a side of learning Fun Animal Facts (favourite hyperfixation) and watching Ludwig on BBc iPlayer. I love OneTrackMinds podcasts (it's like The Moth and Desert Island Discs had a baby).
Am very similar in my approach to deep dives; good to know I’m not alone. Also, you didn’t find the Quince fisherman sweater to pill up? I was 2 seconds from buying it the other day and then I read some Instagram comments from people saying it got so pilly they couldn’t wear it anymore. Which honestly surprised me based on my previous experiences with Quince. But I got concerned and opted not to get it. Should I be back on board?
Oh I absolutely did not find that! Quite the opposite actually -- surprisingly little pilling. (On the other hand, everyone I know with a Jenni Kayne sweater has railed against the pilling!!!)
The way I prepared for the 2016 election was going to LL Bean and buying my entire family flannel PJs and velour robes. I did it this year by buying us all house cardigans.
Dan and I were mesmerized by the part about Sound Exploder! We literally cannot wait to listen to it ourselves. I’ve never met a rabbit hole I couldn’t convince myself to explore. Also can’t wait to try Ina’s squash recipe. Did you read her new book? I devoured it in an afternoon. So lovely.

I wrap my mind in the arms of safe small things.
I just LOVE your last line. So perfect.

So good to know! And crazy about the Jenni Kayne — for that price, I don’t want a single pill! Thank you!

I do love a house cardigan.
