Friday: Cat Bingo at The Cafe Meow

When: 6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

CULTURE TO CONSUME

Get this: an Audible subscription

Odds are, you’ve landed a great internship this summer, but it means you’re stuck in a cubicle for many hours at a time. Listening to audiobooks may change your life – or at least get you through the day. Silently weep from a heart wrenching romance novel, laugh at a comedian’s memoir or creep yourself out with a good true crime story, all from the comfort of your desk. Audible offers subscriptions at a discounted student price ($9.95/month) for the first year. 

Watch this: Bon Appétit’s “Making Perfect” series

Maybe you’ve already fallen down the YouTube rabbit hole of watching Claire Saffitz try to reverse-engineer beloved junk foods, or Brad Leone explore the world of fermentation and live foods. But even if you’re new to the delightful world of the wildly popular Bon Appétit’s YouTube channel, one of their latest series, “Making Perfect,” is a great place to start. Follow the beloved Test Kitchen team on their multi-episode quest to create the perfect pizza — or at least their perfect pizza. They might even inspire you craft your own homemade pie; A&E also endorses Punch Pizza as an easy back-up option. 

Read this: “How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy” by Jenny Odell

Artist and critic Jenny Odell’s book isn’t necessarily about doing nothing. Drawing on history, theory, art and more, she instead encourages readers to question common definitions of productivity and reconnect with their surroundings. It’s far more fulfilling than most writing on digital detoxes and deleting social media, and certainly more hopeful.
