I will never understand why a hotel starting rate seems to be the most complicated piece of info to fact-check in this industry.

I sent a lead out to some PR folks looking for an expert to quote for an assignment. So far 11 or 13 responses did not clearly identify how their client was a fit for the story.

You guys! I asked a potential source if they wanted to be quoted for an article. I requested a few sentences regarding their expertise on the topic. In response, they sent me IG captions (emojis included).

I commission film writing for i-D and I like people with interesting, thoughtful and left field ideas. If something’s been on your mind – films new or old – and you think the i-D audience would be interested in it, let me know.

Asia jet lag plus jury duty does not pass the vibe check.

Another PR request: Do you know of any beach resorts that host high-profile cultural events? Something similar to when Soneva in the Maldives brought an edition of the Jaipur Literature Festival to the property.

The content that should be getting annual updates is the "Best Oyster Happy Hour in New York" roundup!

Hi all—does anyone have a contact with the English wine region? Someone who works on marketing the region for tourism? Thank you!

I'm wearing workout Hokas for the first time, and the platform on it is making me feel like a Spice Girl. I've always thought that might come more naturally to me. And sadly, alarmingly, it does not.

"Perfection is impossible. In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches. But what percentage of points did I win? 54% In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play. When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot. You teach yourself to think: 'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.' 'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.' Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point. Here's why I'm telling you this. When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is. But when it's behind you, it's behind you. This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus." –@rogerfederer

Yes, her name is Nguyen Nguyen. My grade 6 classmate that sat in front of me. She never spoke to anyone. Not even the teacher. I mean, EVER. But she was brilliant & never needed help with anything. We would walk to school together, & even then—not a single word. Then one day…

I regularly receive PR requests to amend published content: swap images, mention things that weren’t, move them up if it’s a roundup. Some aren’t even in there and ask to be retroactively added. Spot an error? Fine. Want to control coverage? Take out an ad and leave me alone.

Interesting article today in The Atlantic about how moths have "evolved into an unbeatable enemy." The points in the article aren't wrong—it's hard to deal with moths—but I will share some tips I learned from a textile conservator. 🧵 theatlantic.com/science/arch…

I'm never going to understand why hotels won't provide you with an iron or steamer, insisting that you instead pay to have your clothes pressed by their housekeeping staff. It's a joke.
