Happy Friday, friends! I hope you had a fun and relaxing week and have a good weekend ahead.

We had a fun time at our newsletter Drinks With Broads this week, where[ I dove into a VERY WACKY crab museum in Margate (no, wackier than that) and Heather talked about *The Diplomat* (among other things)](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/in-which-heather-hits-the-bar-and) for paid subscribers, and free subscribers got to [join me in the Kitchen With Miss Piggy and her 1996 cookbook of the same name (a RIDE) while Heather tries the Bleame](https://drinkswithbroads.substack.com/p/welcome-to-in-the-kitchen-with-miss). Thank you so much to everyone who has subscribed so far!!

ICYMI around here, our[ Eurovision coverage is ramping up for this weekend's big events](https://www.gofugyourself.com/tag/eurovision?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)!

And we [talked about road trip games](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-whats-your-favorite-road-trip-game-05-2023/) and the[ best weird things we've seen on trips](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/your-afternoon-chat-the-best-random-thing-youve-seen-on-a-trip-05-2023/)!

This is A GREAT PIECE at the NYT, about the generation of Asian women named after Connie Chung (written and photographed by Connies).

She recently had a PR emergency and did....no PR on her own behalf? Why is anyone writing a statement for someone who owns a PR firm? What is happening with that firm?
