I like merchandise that you can’t buy. The Harvard Lampoon, like Lucien, makes sweatshirts that are not for sale. A TV writer sent me mine, which is Celtics themed. Pretty sure you can ask any TV writer in America to hook you up, they all went to Harvard… Pair with a hat from The Drift, another Harvard byproduct. I’m sure they’re for sale, though I can’t know for certain, as mine was free…I’ve lifted quite a bit of Dalton merch off friends, I recommend that too.

I started making merch under “Holy Ghost Prep” a few years ago not knowing it’s an actual school. I’ve gotten stopped a few times + I’ve had friends ask if they’ve attended in the past. My thing is like…their merch is pretty bad. I’m waiting for either (A) a cease and desist or (B) a job offer to manage their creative department.
All jokes aside, I have a few misc shirts left from a prev design that pokes fun at culty religious private schools with a “GOOD AND SAFE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION FOR ALL” tag line. If you want one and I happen to have your size I’ll send it over if you’re down to cover shipping. Shoot me a message. It’s nice.

Making your own merch for your life has never been more easy. I used to go to Kinkos as a kid because they would put anything on a t-shirt. Now I make embroidered hats with inside jokes and print stills from "Dead Poets Society" on crewnecks. It's a lot of fun to find a piece of clothing you like and add onto it.

I’m seeing Have a Nice Life in my (and their!) college town, and they‘ve got a shirt with the building I spent 4 years in to get one of my degrees - of course I bought it, Herter Hall you sucked but nothing could make me hate you

Henry makes a lot of low key insufferable navel-gazey films that I really enjoy. Last Summer in the Hamptons (1995) is his best. A matriarch presides over her family, who are all somehow involved in the theatre. It makes you wish you grew up with intellectuals in a house by the sea. Eating: A Very Serious Comedy about Women and Food is so annoying, it’s just women saying they’re fat at a party in Los Angeles, but my friend and his wife have the poster in their dining room, and it’s a great poster, I recommend getting it. He’s alive, Henry is, my translator friend knows him, she’s his muse, though she’s turned the camera back on him, her documentary on him needs a place to screen, if you’re a gallerist, get in touch. Support living artists!

I thought Labi Saffre was a woman, he’s not. Nice quality in a singer. Anyway, these are two of the best love songs ever written. I first heard You’re Lovely on repeat on mushrooms. It’s :32 seconds. I recommend the experience.

My two favorite living American writers — Fanny Howe and Mary Robison — both named female characters Money. Fanny imagined it was long for “Mona,” Mary, that it was short for “Monica.” I will be naming my child Money Phillips, no middle name. Anyway, you should read their books. (I have a lot of ready demands on whatever partner is dumb enough to procreate with me. Like, whoever has a child with me will have to drive me to a random hospital across the stateline into Montana in my third trimester, because I need my child to be a fifth generation Montanan. It ’s a great source of anxiety to me that my dad lied to me growing up and said I was fifth generation. I was fourth.)
