Dumplings as an Aesthetic and Alisha Ramos on Staying In A Thing or Two with Claire and Erica

    • Arts

We’ve been following the career of Alisha Ramos since she was in college—so, um before she technically had a career. If you haven’t spotted her two businesses Girls’ Night In, a newsletter ‘n community for women who love to stay in, and Whiled, a line of cheery, artsy puzzles, everywhere you turn recently, then your pandemic experience has been very different from ours. But before we get into it all with her: Let us discuss how dumplings (the sweatpants of food?) became such a vibe.

 

DUMPLINGS. In handbag form from Simon Miller, Elleme, and Emily Levine. In cartoon form thanks to Wonton in a Million. As sculpture in porcelain by Stephanie H. Shih and felt by Dumpling Mart. As a light, an ornament, and, hey, a potsticker pipe.

 

Alisha Ramos is up to so very much—she’s the founder of Girls’ Night In and Whiled, and she’s a very committed Swiftie and gardener on IG.

 

Speaking of Swifties: a conspiracy rabbithole for you—feel free to search Swiftgron on Tumblr.

 

The still-very-relevant Stay Home, Take Care resource the GNI team put together at the beginning of quarantine. 

 

For some TikTok ~curation~, follow Aminatou Sow and Zara Rahim...on Instagram.

 

“Our Shared Unsharing” by Stella Bugbee for The Cut. 

 

A few of Alisha’s head-clearing recs: Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel, Floret, Monty Don, and The Gardens of Bunny Mellon. Plus one gardening-related one from Erica: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.

 

All of our inboxes are open! Contact us at 833-632-5463, podcast@athingortwohq.com, and/or @athingortwohq. 

 

For more of everything, get that Secret Menu—subscribe (or even give a gift).

 

Visit www.Hilma.co/ATHINGORWO to get the starter set with both a free gift, a beautiful tote bag designed by an amazing female artist, AND 20% off.

 

Slip into our new favorite workout gear, the Sweaty Betty Power Legging, for 20% off with the code ATHINGORTWO.

YAY.
