got a lovely review that’s bolstering my mood this chilly friday ! if you don’t mind your order arriving post•Christmas, the shop’s still open: www.sossapo.com/shop
A five star product review on the sossapo.com website by Taylor P., dated dec 6, 2024, reads: “I bought all of the croissant soaps for my boyfriend as a gift, and they are fabulous! The smell of each “flavor” is delicious and present but not overwhelming, and they arrived in perfect condition. They look stunning, almost good enough to eat! I would absolutely buy these again.”

has he read GO AHEAD IN THE RAIN: NOTES TO A TRIBE CALLED QUEST by hanif abdurraqib? i love his writing!!
There's something about this that is like love. The way we stay angry at family because we know that, in many cases, they'll be the ones to welcome us back first if we need them to. I fight my dearest homies the loudest and longest because I know they'll pick up my calls when I need them to. Anger is a type of geography. The ways out of it expand the more you love a person. The more forgiveness you might be willing to afford each other opens up new and unexpected roads. And so, for some, staying angry at someone you love is a reasonable option. To stay angry at someone you know will forgive your anger is a type of love, or at least it is a type of familiarity that can feel like love. It might be that Phife and Q-Tip were actually still angry, or it could be that they just needed the comfort of anger to see them through an otherwise difficult and trying reality in which they would otherwise be forced to love each other like they once did, in a past they might not have wanted to return t
