Friday's Five 🖐🏼 #124
Happy Friday's Five,
Hello from the end of a confetti week–a week filled with lots of different things with lots of different people in lots of different contexts.
What I'm reading
The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead is a gripping novel about a boy who is sentenced to a juvenile reformatory called The Nickel Academy whose mission says it provides "physical, intellectual and moral training" so the delinquent boys in their charge can become "honorable and honest men." In reality, The Nickel Academy is a grotesque chamber of horrors, where the sadistic staff beats abuses the students. A gripping story.
What I'm listening to
My friends in the Mighty Oaks released their new album 'All Things Go' today and I look forward to discovering the new songs. It's their third studio album, happy release day! (Spotify link)
What I'm watching
Miss Americana – I LOVED this Netflix documentary about Taylor Swift. She's so cool. I am a (new) convert.
What I'm thinking about
After 10 years in my current apartment, I am looking for a new place in Berlin: Prenzlauer Berg, Mitte, 3 rooms, Altbau with balcony. If you know or hear of a place that's available, I'd appreciate a note. Thank you, Berlin & The Universe!
What else?!
Danni Pantel is a young Berlin-based artist painter and I've been following her work since she started out a few years ago. She's getting ready for a new exhibition and I can't wait to see her new work. In the meantime, check out her paintings on Instagram, I really like them.
Thanks for reading, have a great weekend!
David
