I'm partial to an Espresso Tonic (espresso in tonic water with lemon and simple syrup) or a Lemonade Americano (two shots of espresso in a lemonade), but just in general I love Americanos (espresso in hot water), Red Eyes (espresso in black coffee), Black Eyes (four shots of espresso in black coffee), Espresso Martinis - just any drink that has espresso but no dairy element. Call it "caffeine-maxing" or whatever, but that is my preferred way to drink coffee when I can go somewhere fun.
Shout out Amherst Coffee in Amherst, Massachusetts, you'll always be my favorite!

Water From Your Eyes was in Mexico city and we were at this dope little record shop for a signing and there was a coffee pop up inside that night. I asked what they recommended and they made me this espresso and tonic which was a totally new thing for me, I had no idea you could do that. I’ve always really fucked with tonic water - when I was still drinking one of my ride or die bevs was “the gentlemen’s weekend” which is essentially just a super dirty gin and tonic with mad olives - I miss that shit every day so realizing you could do espresso and tonic was a woahhh moment for sure. Any coffee shop I go to where I can get one I will hop right on it, honestly my fave way to drink caffeine at the moment. I’m not really a coffee shop person though so I usually just get white monster from the deli and that gets the job done.

☕️I don’t know why this isn’t a more popular beverage, but a cold brew alcoholic splash into a nice glass of tonic will swiftly usurp the place in your mouth’s heart that’s been hitherto reserved for espresso martinis and/or Diet Coke.

A website with a collection of screengrabs from nearly every movie you could think of, and you can sort by film title, director, cinematographer, year, genre, country, etc. Great for visual references for lookbooks, or just to discover a new film you might be interested in seeing!
I've attached one of my favorite stills, a great moment from Chungking Express (Dir. Wong Kar-Wai, 1994).

At my local indie cinema for a projection of the new Nosferatu, infinitely grateful I have a place like this I can go to see new stuff and incredible programming!

Just going out and picking up any kind of used physical media (books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes) makes the archivist in me happy, like I’m preserving somebody else’s story/ enjoyment of something
My personal favorite thing is VHS tapes, I’ve got a decent collection (all thrifted) and they’re usually the cheapest things offered
