Hello! I’m very glad it’s the weekend because I genuinely am getting less and less adept at productivity in the midst of flames! Everything is not good! Maybe you agree! There’s plenty to distract ourselves with the next few days (including but not limited to Wet Hot American Summer screenings ft. bonus s’mores), so GET READY! But first, some stuff from BYT this week:
- We told you what band merch rules!
- Speaking of which, Stuyedeyed’s new shirt is the best!
