dear josh,

great piece as always!

love this opening: "Other than seeing footage of a white supremacist rally at Madison Square Garden all over the news, I’ve had a pretty nice last few days!"

also love this middle part: "Here’s another beautiful truth: It’s a real gift to yourself to imagine what would happen if you worked really hard at something and it all went right."

also, regarding older relatives getting movie names adorably wrong which i agree is delightful, my mom once referred to "everything everywhere all at once" as "everything all the time whatever" and it was good.

love you!

I saw one halloween costume that was a pap shot of Paul Mescal standing on a street corner, like who's getting that reference?? 😭

"Halloween is like karaoke. You can choose a deep cut if you want, but at a certain depth, there ceases to be enough oxygen for the entire room" Josh this is beautiful

The Dwyane Wade face is bad, sure, but my question is why is his jersey so wrinkled? Did the sculptor not own an iron?

I feel like sculptors love to show motion through wrinkles that can never be unwrinkled!!! It's a real sculptor-ass flourish imo!
