Two links post in a single week, my doves, you’re either really lucky or we’re in the middle of a global pandemic that forbids us from leaving our houses. How are you keeping this weekend, beloveds?
Why yes, Small Dog Nation WOULD like a bunch of highly bespoke curated collections, thanks.
Another bit of SDN catnip, an antiquities mystery!
Anyone else follow the Alison Roman situation? One of the unexpected skills I’ve developed whilst being Extremely Online, is the uncanny ability to spot a cancellation coming. A few weeks ago, I was suddenly finding Alison Roman content everywhere, the algorithim was feeding it to (props to her PR team, without irony)…meaning it would not be long. Lo and behold, she said something super dumb and the internet piled on to rage at her in the time honored tradition of hating women – mixed with the problem of women putting down other women to tell their own stories. Nothing new to see here, kids, and yet Kristin Wong from The Financial Diet wrote something pretty dang smart about the whole Twitter tempest.
I’m still in mourning for a bygone time.
So what I’m hearing is that we could always have set up our fiscal and social policies differently to benefit workers more, but chose not to. Cool cool cool. Tax the rich next.
We all remember Stanley Tucci being daddy and making cocktails for us, yes? Well, daddy came through with food.
Another Friday night, another Inspector General fired.
Gender equity in the workplace requires gender equity in the home. (Side note, I’ve have low key enjoyed the male commentary about being quarantined at home with children and how difficult it is to provide childcare and work at the same time. YEAH, MY DUDES. EXACTLY.)
Lockdown is horrible, but I am loving and eternally grateful for the cultural heritage industries in particular who are finding ways to bring us plays, operas, ballets, museums, and now art lectures in dark times.
I still hate the Space Force. Super Duper.
An ITG Top Shelfie for the ages.
Sigh…
every day feel more convinced that all of this, all of it, is unfixable https://t.co/33a2VZ9fQf

LOVED those roll-neck sweaters — and gave Jose two, green and blue. AND still wearing my red J Crew anorak from….2000. It’s a perfect garment; lined w fleece, hooded, kangaroo pocket and windproof. Bright red. SOB.
We are repainting — F & B Skimming Stone. That’s our week…
Have a great weekend.
The OG rollnecks are so good…RIP.
Looking forward to seeing pics of the paint job!
So glad we nabbed two of them!
Am also ordering ALL the swatches from all the fabric sites — planning to have a Roman blind made (replacing striped curtains) — and may even get a new sofa (on sale.) We have been luckier with work this year (so far.)
