This is not going to be the summer any of us expected it to be, but we can still go to our happy places. Even if, for most of us, we literally can’t. Here’s a playlist for that feeling. And a bonus “pandemic playlist” that I forgot to share back in April.

It’s been a stitchy week. I’ve been essentially living and breathing mask-making.
