This pride month, we're thinking about what it means to show up — fully, consistently, for the land, and for each other. 

Activism isn't a hat you put on for one issue and take off for another. It's a way of moving. June is a reminder that care for the earth and care for people are not, and have never been, separate causes.

Here's what we're loving this June. Things that nourish, things built to last, things made with so much love.

Read: Polaroids by Paige Powell. Part memoir, part art object. Powell spent decades at the center of the New York and Portland art worlds, and her photography captures something you can't quite name. You’ll buy this book for your coffee table and find yourself returning to it constantly. 

Home:Gone New York’s Nebula Wall Vase is a handblown glass wall vase with a fluid, organic silhouette, each one slightly irregular by nature of how it's made. It hangs from a single nail, and holds a stem (or doesn't); it works as sculpture on its own. The nebula colorway in particular catches light in a special way that changes throughout the day.

VisitCar Part Time, Brooklyn is an automotive concept space that's equal parts gallery, garage, and clubhouse. They curate a rotating selection of cars the way a good shop curator selects objects — for character, history, and point of view. 

Bake:Barton Springs Mill. A stone mill outside Austin sourcing and milling heirloom and heritage grains the way they were always meant to be handled: slowly, with intention, close to the source. That means their flour has more flavor, more texture, and more personality. Browse their new arrivals and let yourself get specific about grain.

Drink:Loonen. Spring-sourced water from protected mountain springs in Southern California, filtered, precisely mineralized, and bottled exclusively in glass. It’s third-party tested for over 300 contaminants—the things most brands don’t talk about—with results published openly. Water done the right way, finally.

Wear:Everybody.World. A Los Angeles brand making basics from recycled and deadstock materials, slowly and locally. Their Trash Collection is the world’s first 100% reclaimed waste cotton clothing. Talk about regenerative. 

Smell:Bibliothèque by Byredo. Named for the French word for library, and it earns it. Dark, papery, a little resinous — the olfactory equivalent of a room full of well-loved books. We can’t get enough. 

Eat: Bright Green, our limited edition collaboration with YUZUCO, is my current most-used ingredient. Yuzu kosho is a complex, vibrant condiment that goes beautifully in my favorite mushroom larb recipe. 

Stir:Lolly by Studio Fleur Peters. Handmade glass spoons from Dutch designer Fleur Peters, each one a small sculptural object. Made for stirring coffee, scooping from a charcuterie board, or simply sitting out on the counter, looking beautiful. 

Listen:Little Wide Open by Kevin Morby. His newest album feels like a place more than a playlist. Wide skies, long drives, the particular feeling of June. Put it on and let the afternoon stretch.
