No Sunday Scaries, lots of pad kee mao, and we even carpooled. The lesson: Don’t be afraid of the end of the weekend, my pals. Embrace it.

But you know how I prefer to acknowledge the day? By celebrating 1) the wisdom of Alysa Liu, 2) the firing of Kristi Noem, and 3) the sigh of relief of never having really gotten Timothee Chalalala’s appeal, anyway. Oh and a slice of princess cake.

Let me do the doomscrolling for you.

(Women’s edition.)
(Feat. the women whose writing, ideas, and creations are currently inspiring moi)

  • , whose brilliant pop culture analyses in her newsletter Teniade Topics never fail to make me both laugh and think.

  • TV writer and IRL pal is both funny and an incredible multimedia artist—painter, fake cake sculptor, linocut printer, etc. Unfair???

  • is doing immeasurably heroic, in-depth, thoughtful work on Substack with her newsletter Abortion, Every Day. Do not miss it.

  • ’s recent piece “I Am Too Old To Be A Prodigy” is so good and is not not the exact fear that I expressed in therapy on my (recent…ish) 30th birthday.

  • Mariam of keeps my Substack feed filled with gorgeous, rich cake slices and cookie recipes exceptionally ideal for the end of the world (now?)

  • is doing the lord’s work here on Substack with Window Seat (by which I mean glimpses into her deeply chic travel experiences + expertise, giving my brain ample content with which to run away and daydream.)

  • Twitter friend turned actual bestie who has spent years claiming she is “not a comedy writer” but whose v witty weird pasta proves otherwise.

  • My dear friend , whose new publication Fluid Form dives into the history of bathing culture—before the days it became about optimization and hustle, i.e. back when her ancestors built makeshift banyas in the Soviet Union.

Previously on Hot Tip:

Below the paywall: A super easy and perfect meal prep pasta salad recipe, my current lineup of women-owned brands and spots, and some of my favorite performances by women to revisit, today and always.

But at least I can watch Alysa Liu’s perfect free skate—and reflect on the importance of joy in performance—as many times as I want!!!! And hot tip: Women won 67% of all the American gold medals this go around.

Added to to-do list.

But then—then, you guys—my friend and I snagged …

My Sundays are occupied for the foreseeable future.

It’s Golden Globes Sunday, which is the true beginning of playoff season, as far as I’m concerned. Lines of the night—aka tonight’s reads:

At the rate I am burning through holiday classics, I’m not sure what I will be left with by the time it’s actually Christmas (Die Hard, I guess???), but for the sake of my sanity and 5 pm darkness, I don’t care. Give me my Kevin McC…

Here’s how I did it: I had a morning meeting in Larchmont that ended at 11, and then I put my name down for a ta…

Guess what? I get to go trick-or-treating this year. And no, I won’t be a weird adult knocking on doors for candy—though I do think that with all we have going on in the world, society shou…

My journey through the Diane Keaton filmography continued this past week with The First Wives’ Club, a perfect movie about sisterhood with the perfect cast of Diane, Goldie Hawn, and Bette Midler,…

So no scaries here tonight. Just a girl, standing in front of her dearest newsletter readers, asking them to trust her when she tells you these press-on nails (I clip and file mine after applying, no glue required) will give you both a manicure that looks expensive …

I hope you’re holding up alright amid the chaotic mess that is being alive right now. If you’re looking for an activity that will boost your endorphins, or at the very least keep your brain distracted for an hour, allow me to enthusiastically endorse puppy yoga, which I did for a friend’s birthday this weekend. First there was thirty minutes…

We had a Noah Wyle win (outfitted in a FIGS tux!!!) + a Pitt sweep, Tramell Tillman winning a much-deserved award for his delivery of “devour feculence” on season two of Severance, an it’s about damn time win for Hacks’ Hannah Einbinder (with a perfect speech, no …

Season three ended last week with some literal and metaphorical bangs, and while I do miss the quiet, boring, low-stakes version of this show from seasons one and two, I gotta say, Julian Fellowes + co. absolutely delivered. And if you’ve never watched …

Normally, this series just goes out to the dearest darlin’ paid subscribers, but today, I need to talk to everyone about Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s apparent budding romance—a pairing th…

I finished Andor Season 2, and while the final frame nearly broke me, my nerdy ass is just excited to rewatch Rogue One so I can witness the seamless story transition (and then, let’s be honest, A New Hope.) And hot tip to anyone who has no idea what I’m talking about because they’ve never seen any of it and the idea of taking on a…

I had been on the hunt for the Graza/Alec’s Ice Cream collab for a month, and finally, in Burbank, I happened upon the last store’s remaining pint of Pistachio Crunch. If the olive oil of it all is turning you off, I get it, but fear not: it packs just the right amount of richness without dippi…

Me, on the other hand—well, I mostly just have a lot of questions. Like—as one tweeter pointed out—why do most of the guests appear to be business acquaintance…

Yes, I am absolutely going to talk about Iran later this upcoming week. But on this particular Sunday evening, I’m sticking with business as usual here at Hot Tip HQ and sharing my favorite recent reads/watches/listens + a look at the week ahead. And a reminder, as always, to stay informed and take care o…

Or perhaps you never even considered it, because how could we be so lucky to live in a world where such a term would be necessary? Well this weekend at the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest, such a term did become necessary. Pedro #5 won $50—and a year of burritos from Son del North, which to me is…
