What a week. 2021 came in....very hot. Hope you're hanging in there, but it's understandable if you're not. I can't even really segue here -- how does one say, "anyway, we're in a plague and also had a treasonous insurrection this week! Here's some stuff to read!"? I guess just like that. Here's some stuff to read: If you need some soft pants -- and don't we all? -- [I rounded some up for you](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fug-nation-loves-soft-pants-01-2021/). We also talked about [our most soothing binge watches.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-what-is-your-most-soothing-binge-watch-01-2021/) And had a really nice and hopefully helpful conversation about [how we're managing our mental and emotional health right now.](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-how-are-you-taking-care-of-your-mental-and-emotional-health-right-now-01-2021/) And also discussed any [New Year's resolutions or goals we may have set for 2021](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-did-you-make-any-resolutions-for-2021-2-01-2021/). At The New Yorker: [Trump Must Be Held Accountable](https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-importance-of-holding-trump-accountable-for-the-capitol-hill-insurrection?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This made my blood run cold. Wednesday was an absolute nightmare. At the New York Times: [‘Senate Being Locked Down’: Inside a Harrowing Day at the Capitol](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/politics/capitol-lockdown.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Always read Evette Dionne, whose piece at The Cut this week is particularly great: [American Amnesia](https://www.thecut.com/2021/01/capitol-insurrection-american-politics.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). At Vox: [The fantasy-industrial complex gave us the Capitol Hill insurrection](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/22217822/us-capitol-attack-trump-right-wing-media-misinformation?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is an amazing piece, also the New York Times: [Now It Can Be Told: How Neil Sheehan Got the Pentagon Papers](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/us/pentagon-papers-neil-sheehan.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) At Lainey: [Are Harry Styles and Olivia Wild dating?!?!?!?!!?](https://pubx.co/4FtpoM?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Do we think this is a real relationship?

(Spoilers for *Bridgerton*, which I have not yet watched, but I will get to it!) [An amazing long read about Zora Neale Hurston,](https://bittersoutherner.com/the-sum-of-life-zora-neale-hurston?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) at the Bitter Southerner Super interesting, at the New York Times Magazine: [‘Bollywood Wives’ Is an Accidental Documentary About India’s Gilded Class](https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/07/magazine/fabulous-lives-bollywood-wives-netflix.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) I sincerely agree with this, as I am currently writing this from my own bed, where I often work: [Working From Bed Is Actually Great.](https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/31/style/working-from-bed.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[NYT\] This piece, at Grub Street, was so good: [The very real, totally bizarre bucatini shortage of 2020.](https://www.grubstreet.com/2020/12/2020-bucatini-shortage-investigation.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) We were recently talking about the fact that Hattie McDaniel should have a biopic, and I'm excited it's happening: [The Incredible Raven Goodwin Is Set To Star As Hattie McDaniel In Upcoming Biopic!](https://thecurvyfashionista.com/raven-goodwin-hattie-mcdaniel-biopic/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[The Curvy Fashionista\] I've been waiting for this:[ Cassie’s Coats on *The Flight Attendant*, Ranked](https://www.vulture.com/article/best-flight-attendant-coats-ranked.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Vulture\] I want to try ALL of these: [Fort Worth’s Martin House Brewing Company Is Making the Weirdest Beer in Texas.](https://www.texasmonthly.com/food/fort-worth-martin-house-brewing-company-is-making-weirdest-beer-in-texas/??ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Sour pickle beer!! \[Texas Monthly\] Also at Lainey, [this is a really interesting piece about Sia and her relationship with Maddie Ziegler,](https://pubx.co/7Y0Tge?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) which definitely seems odd on Sia's side. No pun intended, but this was a hell of a ride: [How SoulCycle lost its soul](https://www.vox.com/the-goods/22195549/soulcycle-decline-reopening-bullying-bike-explained?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Vox\] Ugh, this is awful: [Designer Who Went Viral for Prison Fashion Show Punished With 9 Months of Solitary Confinement](https://www.complex.com/style/2021/01/designer-who-went-viral-prison-fashion-show-9-months-solitary-confinement?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[Complex\] This is useful, over at Pajiba: [2021 Films Directed by Women to Look Out For](https://www.pajiba.com/film%5Freviews/nomadland-eternals-candyman-and-more-2021-films-directed-by-women-to-look-out-for.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This is the kind of dumb-ass drama I need right now: [Influencers Feuding After Both Naming Their Babies ‘Baby’](https://www.thecut.com/2021/01/jessica-hart-and-sasha-benz-feuding-over-babies-named-baby.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[The Cut\] Great, at The Ringer: [The Nirvana of Ben Affleck](https://www.theringer.com/movies/2021/1/6/22216381/ben-affleck-dunkin-donuts-paparazzi-photos-renaissance?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) At The Daily Beast: [Watching Alex Trebek’s Last ‘Jeopardy!’ as America Crumbles](https://www.thedailybeast.com/watching-alex-trebeks-last-jeopardy-as-america-crumbles?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) This entire thing was wild.

Sarah Timm, of one the hosts (and a Fug National), described it to me thusly: "My friend and I (she’s also a costumer) each pick a movie and present it to each other, discussing the costume design in it. Think My Favorite Murder but instead of true crime cases we talk costuming!" I AM IN.
