💍 “Something different is in the air. Something messy!” – After years of respectful celebrity separations, the drama queens inside us all are craving something more. Enter - the messy divorce! Back after a brief hiatus, celebrities are putting their well-wishes and promises of co-parenting aside, and going into battle - prenups firmly in hand. Thankfully, The Cut is here with a round-up, so you can lean in without giving the Daily Mail ad revenue – it’s called conscious gossip, kids x
🧯“No one is gaslighting you / You’re just so toxic that you’re flammable” – Drake has released his first book of poetry, and it’s as cringy as you would expect. Complex describe it as ‘a little like Rupi Kaur’s ruminations for straight men who learned about therapy from Instagram memes.’ We feel for the poor souls who will have these poems read to them before bed on soft boi hinge dates. Thoughts and prayers.
🌭“A playlist for you to twirl endlessly while Target and PetSmart burns” – it’s that time of year again, and fav ‘sletter Filthy Dreams has served us a special ‘crime-fueled’ Pride playlist that specifically celebrates queer villainy through gay villain to the masses, George Santos.
🍕 “if you have cold pizza for breakfast, it says what sort of person you are.” – As long-term breakfast avoiders, we at spittle feel vindicated to hear that, not only is breakfast unnecessary, its upgrade to the ‘most important meal of the day’ was coordinated by cereal manufacturers and religious lobbyists. Mr Kellog himself believed that a bowl in the morning could help prevent masturbation, the greatest sin of all.
🌐 The Best Kept Secrets of the Internet – If you’re also having a slow summer season while your gallery director jets off to the Amalfi coast, we direct you to this article on weird, niche things to distract you on the internet produced by our new fave publication, Byline. Think Katie Notopoulos's tumblr archive and Jurassic Park toy collecting forums…
🧦 Make your own Margiela Sock Jumper – Everyone loves a DIY project, especially if that project involves a lil upcycling! In this tutorial from A Magazine Curated By’s first issue in 2004, Martin himself takes you through the steps to make your very own jumper cut from 8 pairs of socks… C’est Chic!
Add-to-cart

Parting Shot
If there is one thing for certain in this world, it’s that Britney Spears’ insta will be provoking someone, somewhere; but the culprit usually isn’t from the London-based arts graduate percentile. Alongside iconic home dancing videos, outfit throwbacks, cheeky nudes, positive quotes and illuminati-esque diagrams, Spears has recently been art influencing with posts of works by the likes of Kathleen Ryan, Pierre Carrier Belleuse and Noah Verrier. But, as recent RCA graduate Sun Can points out after noticing her share one of his intricately produced real-life apple sculptures, Britney, if you’re gonna post something by another artist, please do the decent thing and credit their work… we love you x
