Bonus Recs #3: Spring grab bag

2 great podcasts eps, the other best tennis shorts, a cute hat + a new word

Jacob is out of town for the next ten days and my kids have announced that for Mother’s Day, they want me to take them to Space Club and out for Japanese ice cream. Thanks, kids! Can’t wait to honor myself by treating you.

Julian also made me this mother’s day planter in after school ceramics that says in black on black, ever so subtly: “This is sus.” It has a certain kind of Ed Ruscha text painting energy to it.

Separately, I talked to a dozen stylish, tennis-playing obsessives about the best gear + apparel for a new piece for The Strategist. Collabs, coveted gear, and all the best tops, bottoms, headgear, and strong opinions about socks. Enjoy!

Here’s a cornucopia of other recommendations. For mother’s day, you could also upgrade to a paid subscription. Thank you!
