While my boyfriend gave me a detailed rundown of the frescoes at The Basilica of Santa Maria Novella which he had studied during his art history degree I was preoccupied with what the fuck was going on with a girl wearing a purple paper poncho over her clothes.
I’m sitting at Tiella in east London eavesdropping on the woman behind me loudly telling a man, who I can only assume is a first or second date, so much about her life that I’m both horrified and impressed.

There’s a heatwave in London, a city that famously has little to no air conditioning in most places, it’s 95 degrees fahrenheit and I don’t care what that is in celsius.
On Sunday May 31st there was a full moon in Sagittarius and it was a blue moon and both a girl’s mom on Tiktok who is a witch and The Cut told me that it was a life changing blue moon that would finally fix all my problems.
