I thought this was really useful, at Bon Appetit: [What Food Pantries Really Want You to Donate.](https://www.bonappetit.com/story/food-pantries-donate?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Fascinating: "[One of the World’s Greatest Shoppers Prepares to Share Her Treasures:](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/15/style/mouna-ayoub-chanel-auction.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.-0w.N-ma.LEdUD6Z12Lmn&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Mouna Ayoub has a huge collection of haute couture, and now, 252 of her Chanel pieces designed by Karl Lagerfeld are going up for auction." \[NYT, gifted link\]

(I am personally use Twitter about 90% less than I used to, and removing it more or less from my life has been a massive plus for my mental health.)

I kinda love this: [Why Some Seniors Are Choosing Pot Over Pills.](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/16/well/mind/medical-marijuana-seniors.html?unlocked%5Farticle%5Fcode=1.-0w.zCQD.eEINIr5h3fvh&smid=url-share&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) \[NYT, gifted link\] I've started having half a gummy at night instead of wine and it has really improved my sleep.
