David Hettinger, A break in their day

Okay, firstly: I need a couple things:

  • I’m brewing up something very exciting with Air HQ—know anyone who’s into archival research? Esp in the abstract? Lmk

  • KENT set me UP (thank you Molly!) with like 10 pairs of underwear. For those who like a more formidable fit (like it’s not doing the no-show, barely-there thing—they’re proper cotton undies), you’ll love these. I’m into tanga, especially.

  • I hate our Instagram so much so I’m fixing it by writing about stuff I engage with all week. This week’s pictures were particularly bad I’m sorry….
