Tuck hats!? Pickles lore! Send us guest suggestions!

Hey friends,

Hope you’re all hanging in there. A few quick things before we get to a supersized Links & Stuff: 

1. Ozzy and I are slowly putting together the lineup for season 10(!), and we’d love to get your input re: future guests & topics. We’re already pursuing your suggestions from the patron survey back in February, but if you have new ideas (or just don’t remember what you said, which makes sense; I wouldn’t remember either), you can chime in via our Twitter or Instagram posts, or in the comments of this newsletter.
   
2. August merch is still merching! I got my little sticker and I’m stoked about it.

Photo ID: Tuck holding up a sticker of a purple anteater-like creature with a tiny blue monkey wrapped around its leg. The sticker says "GENDER REVEAL" in red letters.

3. We have a very sweet bonus episode with Denne Michele Norris coming up in a week or two, so be sure you’re subbed to our bonus podcast for that if you aren’t already. No presh lol but it’s a nice little interview featuring some behind-the-scenes NPR footage.

4. A patron sent me the hat from last week’s newsletter!!!! Thank youuuuu. :) :) :)

Speaking of hats with my name on it, someone on twitter told me about tuckstuff.com and now I’m losing my mind.

OK, here’s an extra-big Links & Stuff, sorted by category this time:

I promise these aren’t actually about baseball:

• You just have to watch this through to the end, I’m begging you.
• A taste of the Pickles lore  (and also, speaking of pickles…)
• Ok this one is actually baseball but lol.

If you can access the New York Times without giving them money:

• Not to praise the NYT but I really really love this long interactive piece explaining and diagramming the context of a short poem! (Sounds boring but it’s not somehow.)
• Also appreciated this horrifying interactive article about workplace surveillance and productivity trackers
• Love to hear about how gay and good the B-52s are
• Pics from an Ernest Hemingway lookalike competition

Everything else:

• Queer cowboys :)
• Can't stop thinking about this rug 
• Luke O’Neill did a perfect installment in Embedded’s “My Internet” series
• Learned a lot about Mia Khalifa 
• Not in a rude way but some of you need to read this
• Months behind on this one, but I love my friend Annika’s sweet essay about time as water
• I’m going to adopt these children 

OK, that’s it for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb; sorry I spoiled it via instagram post but I just needed everyone to see this one!
