We missed you! And fascinating about the notes app outfit stickers. I do the same, but in the Indyx app which has a selfie outfit calendar view that you can attach photos too which pleases my Virgo soul.

as a loyal Rodrighoe, i too am worried about olivia rodrigo! i’d like to think we have room for multiple main pop girlies to shine but realistically i know the internet is probably too fickle for that to be true

I've read one book on that NYT book list. Now, I will slither on over to a dark corner, curl up into a ball, and hang my head in shame. Thanks, NYT. I appreciate the way they "gamified" the list, though. Very smart.

I first saw the Notes app outfit cutout thing on Emily Schuman's IG last year! So did gen Z actually steal it from the millennials...?
