@KRNaturalPhoto Kyle, what's up! Planning to do one up in Ithaca called Cayuga Trails. It'll be my second one. I did one in Mohonk Preserve last year.

Here’s something I wrote long ago that I’m re-posting today for no reason at all. (Never forget an NFL GM, in a pre-draft meeting, asking Kelce, “Son, are you a f***ing a**hole?” 😂)

"Anxiety loves you to try to figure out anxiety. What anxiety hates is when you just say, 'Oh there you are.' You can't problem solve your way out of anxiety." — @BStulberg

“I have something that's kind of the exact middle point between having a daily routine and complete chaos." — @the_jennitaur on how changing our relationship to the clock, and getting beyond the idea that "time is money," changes the way we live and work

[Esquire @esquire]

Two decades into @EvangelineLilly's career, and just before the release of Marvel’s 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania,' the actress talks to Esquire about her journey on the path of self-discovery.

[Clay Skipper @SkipperClay]

“When I hired my first publicist, the one thing I told them was ‘I do not want to be the new, young, hot piece of ass’… they put me straight into Esquire, half undressed.” Almost 20 years — and one Marvel franchise — later, @EvangelineLilly reflects

A weekend with @glenpowell in New Orleans, where, still flying high off his role as Hangman in Top Gun, his Hollywood dreams are becoming reality: “It’s the first time in my career, where I think I’ve felt like, Oh, s***. I think we’re gonna do this.”

Loved kicking it with @SkipperClay and @GQMagazine on set in New Orleans. What a ride this has been!

"It’s a great gift to find out that you’re guidable. That you’re not as smart as you thought you were."
George Saunders x @SkipperClay = good read 👇https://t.co/AnpKeC3F4q

"I think maybe because we’re so involved in distant news, we think it’s somehow not intellectually honest to concentrate on the beauty close at hand. But it’s a moral necessity that we allow ourselves to do that."

The rise in national unhappiness has been a boon for the happiness industry. And with each new solution and antidote offered, it has begun to feel more and more like happiness is a full-time job. For @arthurbrooks, it quite literally is.

Thinking a lot about Jacob Elordi this morning on the set of The Kissing Booth, politicking for his character to smoke in the film so it would be true to the book

(@SkipperClay smashed this interview, btw)

For the September cover of @GQMagazine: Jacob Elordi on watching shark documentaries to play Nate Jacobs, long days on the Euphoria set, upending traditional ideas of masculinity, and the costs of being on the cusp of achieving his wildest Hollywood dreams https://t.co/hGzYssg3Rl

as someone who also played Oberon in a sixth grade production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, I particularly appreciated his approach to the role of the King of Fairies (my Oberon was similarly covered in glitter, and extremely not hot)
