SHORT:
It’s pouring rain here in New York. Luckily, I haven’t been outside in days thanks to what PhD students are calling a relentlesssonofabitchcocksucking cold1.
MEDIUM:
I really want to heal before Wednesday, because I’m headed to Austin, and want to be able to smell the city in all of its glory (sweaty Bachelorette party, vinegary grain bowl, and dusty vintage shirt). Love the place (genuinely)!
LONG:
What else…
My great Uncle Chris has done it again. REIDers may remember that he’s on a recreational senior softball team. Well… we had some phenomenal action in the outfield this month. Make sure to watch the blurry zoomed in slo-mo playback.
I’m back watching drag race interviews despite never having seen a single frame of the show.
We shoot a new Late Stage on Friday. Shoutout to my gxrls who will be handling the shoot without me this month.
This newsletter may go down in history as the most boring one ever— but as they say somewhere (probably drag race): you need a few busts to make the slays rly sing.
Comment below with busts in ur life that have made things sing.

Thank you for subscribing to this newsletter. Sometimes it’s funny, sometimes it’s not – it’s a lot like when people slip on ice. If this is your first time reading, pls check out the archives.
Sincerely,

great name, no cure
Yo Reid, Thanks for the video of me in acrobatic softball action. In my humble opinion the inclusion of my stunning snag transformed #191 from possibly "most boring" to perhaps "most exciting." You're welcome.
P.S. "The Catch" as my feat shall now be known had the added bonus of impressing even my older brother David (AKA Grumpy to his grandchilluns,). As you may know, he's not known for overpraising.
Your Oh so athletic Uncle Chris
