Can It Be Summer Forever? 🍉
Protein Craze, Mountainhead, Making Queer Friends
Hi friends,
How are ya? Do you know when we were kids and we would make a summer bucket list with cute markers and swear, “This is going to be the best summer of our lives?” That’s my vibe for this summer. It doesn’t feel like summer yer since it’s been cold and rainy in NYC for weeks. Despite that, between the Cowboy Carter concert and the start of Summer Fridays, my summer is already off to a great start. What’s on your summer bucket list?
In today’s newsletter, we’ll chat about the protein craze, how to make queer friends in a new city, and the tech bro movie of the year.
Let’s get into it!

From the creator of Succession comes a new film satirizing the tech billionaires that have - quite frankly - ruined our lives. In Mountainhead, four ultra-rich tech bros meet up in Utah for poker night despite a global crisis that is fueled by the misinformation spread on one of the bro’s social media platforms. Sounds way too familiar. The movie is a dark comedy but sometimes hits too close to home. It’s streaming now on HBO Max!
It’s wild to think that Stranger Things is finally coming to an end. The show premiered the summer before my freshman year of college. Now, nine years later, the story concludes with its fifth season. We still have months before the season premieres on Netflix, but the behind-the-scenes first look just dropped. We only have six more months before we find out if these teenagers can kill Vecna once and for all! Can’t wait!
