Sofie Says: May 7, 2024

It's time, once again, for Sofie Says, a weekly LinkedIn-exclusive newsletter where I write about the things that I like every week.

Here are the things for this week:

1. I like the concept of dumbphones and wish that I could, in practice, successfully execute the strategy of greyscaling my phone and removing social media apps. How do we do this when we are working in social media? Someone help!
2. Today's work music.
3. Are you guys following this Drake and Kendrick beef? I am. My partner says it's the most entertaining thing that's happened in the music biz in a long time, and I think she's right. I've loved finally being excited about releases and seeing what could be said, analyzing songs and lyrics and watching pop culture take shape.
4. Just finished writing a massive assignment. Right now, I'm really liking a short break from the computer and from research and allowing myself a little breather. I feel like I've been working and cramming nonstop since I got back from Asia back in March, and now I've finally crossed my Ts and dotted my Is and I can sit back (until my edits come in, of course).
5. Well, well, well. It looks like spring has finally arrived in Toronto, and I am beyond grateful for it. The wet, windy April had put me in a deeply grouchy mood for the bulk of it, and I can't wait for it to keep getting brighter. Finally, some sunshine in the city.

Bonus:

I went to a book market last weekend with my friends, which was a lot of fun. My friends and I enjoy collecting and purchasing vintage books with varying themes, mostly ones about women, relationships, and cooking. As some of you know, I have/had a podcast called Sofieland. However, I haven't released a new episode in a while, and I think, after a year, it may be time to put Sofieland to bed, as it never really had a theme. That said, I did love having a podcast, so be on the lookout for something new, something book-related, and something much more, well, me.

Thanks for tuning in this week. See ya soon.

Your friend,

Sofie
