seven things on a Saturday, vol. 6

Happy Saturday, friends! It’s been a quiet day here in Brooklyn; after an unusually busy and social week, this introvert was ready for some serious down time, and I’m happy to say I got it. A fresh batch of chili is simmering in the crock pot, and while I wait for it to be ready,…
