“Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream Bucket
My pal Saul sent me the weirdest and funnest treat I have *ever* received: A “Not Fried Chicken” Ice Cream Bucket by Life Raft Treats. It looks just like a fried chicken drumstick, but it’s actually an intricate ice cream creation, complete with waffle ice cream, a chocolate-covered cookie “bone” and a coating of white chocolate and crushed corn flakes! This made me LAUGH!
Cloud Dessert
This. Dessert. Makes. My. Heart. Sing.
A Side of Tea and Poetry
What a time to be alive and 18! My daughter Ella just self-published her first poetry book. You can read her poetry over at ellajoy.com and if you enjoy it, support this young poet by buying a copy of her book. What other young poets should be on my radar?
A Poetic Almanac of Birds by Maria Popova
This must be the most beautiful personal project I have come across in a very long time.
My friend Maria Popova has found her love for birds and Tarot and felt moved to create her own card deck of divinations from the birds. (The deck is limited edition, for her friends only, but it might become available in the future.)
For now, we can bask in the beauty of some of her Bird Divinations and buy them as prints here, with all proceeds going to Audubon.
Maria is a national treasure. I’ll keep saying it. What a beautiful soul.
Is it a book?
Every page of this book is a slice of cheese. Made me laugh.
The Bookshelf Skirt
Love this woman and her bookshelf skirt.

I can’t stop smiling.
My Doggy Ate My Essay
My doggy ate my essay.
He picked up all my mail.
He cleaned my dirty closet
and dusted with his tail.He straightened out my posters
and swept my wooden floor.
My parents almost fainted
when he fixed my bedroom door.I did not try to stop him.
He made my windows shine.
My room looked like a palace,
and my dresser smelled like pine.He fluffed up every pillow.
He folded all my clothes.
He even cleaned my fish tank
with a toothbrush and a hose.I thought it was amazing
to see him use a broom.
I’m glad he ate my essay
on “How to Clean My Room.
(thank you Ella)

Now this is a stunningly minimal and beautiful birdhouse. Designed by Michael Hilgers. Would gladly adopt. (Looks like it will be available in their online store later in February)

Monstera Shoes
I have a giant Monstera in my bedroom. One of my favorite plants. So, clearly, these shoes speak to me.
Masquerade / Japanese TV Show
I found 仮装大賞公式チャンネル on TikTok. Apparently “Masquerade” is one of the most popular TV shows produced by NTV Japan. These are all so beautifully weird. There’s more.
