Hello,

We're so happy to be home from tour. It's always such a blast meeting you all on the road and a reminder of why we love doing the show so much. Thanks for coming out in force with your besties and showing us so much love. Can you believe the year is basically over? So much to do and so little time left. But you know what? Instead of focusing on the part of the to-do list that hasn't gotten done yet we are proudly looking at all the things we got done this year. It's, almost over but it's not over yet! Let's finish strong together. Promise?

We got this! You got this!

Love, Aminatou+Gina+Ann

WE'RE OBSESSED
Aminatou endorses
  • Putting furikake (pronounced foo-ree-kah-keh, not “fury cake”) seasoning on everything! Try it on rice or scrambled eggs or grain bowls or salads OR REALLY ANYTHING! It's so delicious. 
  • These Lauren Napier cleansing wipes. I am on a 15 hour flight right now and SO FURIOUS I left my stash at home. They're great for travel or really any time you can't wash your face. 
Ann can't stop talking about Gina is very into
  • Aside from dogs and kids in costumes, the only spooky season content I endorse is cranky 70-something Lili Hayes’s daily dress up posts. An October highlight.
  • Very much enjoying sexy dystopian audio fiction podcast Lesser Gods, which is going to become a TV show soon, so jump in now. There are 3 seasons to binge!
Jordan very much endorses
  • I haven't been able to stop thinking about the near-perfect podcast Moon Face, about a Korean American man who hasn't come out to his mom because they don't speak the same language. It's the best audio fiction piece I've heard in a long time.
  • I've been working on a podcast at Transmitter Media called Finding Fred, which explores the lessons that Mister Rogers taught us as kids and how we can apply them to living in the garbage fire that is 2019. I'm biased, but I think it's very good!
  • I recently revisited All About Love by bell hooks, and was challenged to think about how I show up in both romantic and platonic relationships. Forever grateful for bell hooks!
