Love in the Time of Bae

Revisiting Taffy Brodesser-Akner's episodic Matter series.

Hi friends,

By now, I’m on the way home, or possibly at the airport, which is hard to imagine from my couch, where I’m writing this newsletter before departing for my trip.

Today’s links are actually all the same story — an episodic piece by Taffy Brodesser-Ackner, published back in 2015. It’s strange and moving and has really lovely embedded audio along the way:

1. Everything You Do Is Super Duper Cute And I Can’t Stand It

2. I Should Be Dead By Now I Swear It

3. The Results Are Visible

4. A Lot of People Have Busts of Ronald Reagan in Their Living Rooms

5. The Patters

6. You Can’t Kill a Swan

7. The Passing of Time

Enjoy!

Michelle
