[theSkimm Logo] Daily Skimm WEEKEND [Header Image]( Skimmâd while [shopping a beauty sale]( âI would not go back if you paid meâ â [Tracee Ellis Ross]( on embracing her age. Ditto. Eyes On: Mifepristone Yesterday, Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito [issued an order]( ensuring full access to the drug â the first of two pills taken for medication abortions â until next Wednesday. It comes as federal judges issued [conflicting rulings](\ about whether it should be available. And after an [appeals court ruling]( would have limited access to the drug while legal challenges played out â which spurred the Justice Dept and drug manufacturer Danco Laboratories to ask the Supremes to intervene. theSkimm With Skimm HQ'rs April is [National Poetry Month](. To celebrate, we asked Skimm HQârs to share their favorite poems or poets. Hereâs what they recommended⦠Alex Palazzo, Manager, Revenue Operations & Analytics: â[Ada Limón](. Her recent book, â[The Hurting Kind](,â is amazing. It captured the feeling of loss from COVID, but also hope, connection to the environment, and so many other topics.â Becky Murray, Director, Content Development: â[Kate Baer](. We've all heard it: Write what you know. In â[What Kind of Woman](,â Kate Baer does just that. She's able to capture the heartache, irritation, and beauty of what it means to be a woman today â no matter which roles you play. Her collection made me feel seen yet safe, and it quickly became required reading among my inner circle.â Kamini Ramdeen-Chowdhury, Senior Editor, Parenting: â[Elizabeth Jaikaran](. Her poetry â which includes the book â[Waiting for a Name](â â speaks to the Caribbean diaspora, talks about growing up in Queens, NY, and hits the themes of identity, feeling misunderstood, and so much more." Remi Meeks, Senior Account Manager: â[Cleo Wade](. She covers so many topics â including love, loss, joy, healing, growth, female empowerment, societal issues, the world, and race. Her poems always speak to me just when I need them. I also love [Morgan Harper Nichols](. Her poems also cover a lot of these topics and are accompanied by beautiful art. She actually shared last year with her community/followers that she has autism and ADHD, which I think is so brave, courageous, and admirable.â Victoria Lopez, Technical Project Manager: â[Ocean Vuong](âs â[Time Is a Mother](.â In it, Vuong tries to understand and process life and grief after the death of his mother. And his work is colored by the lens of growing up as a queer, Vietnamese refugee.â [Facebook]([Twitter]([Email](mailto:?body=theSkimm HQ'rs on their fave poems and poets #theSkimm%0A3Ftype%3Demailurl%26r%3DSKIMM%26utm_source%3Demail%26utm_medium%3Ddsshare%23custom) What's Happening ðº In entertainment⦠While Swifties [continue to grapple]( with the starâs apparent breakup, [Taylor Swift]( appeared to have â[survived the Great War](â as she continued her Eras Tour. Meanwhile, as âSuccessionâ fans are waiting to see what what happens after [that]( plot twist, the final seasons of â[The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel](â and â[Barry](â are kicking off this weekend. And may the force be with the creators of the [three new âStar Warsâ movies]( â as the franchise heads back to the big screen, after a âdisastrousâ last film. Speaking of franchises coming back, get ready for another decade of â[Harry Potter](â and another â[Game of Thrones](â prequel. In Met Gala news, the [dress code]( will be âIn honor of Karl.â So it's only fitting that his famous feline, [Choupette Lagerfeld](, has RSVPâd âpawsitively yes.â Plus, [Spotifyâs Niche Mixes]( have personalized playlists for every preference...even if that's âfunky cookingâ or âmelodic metal.â --------------------------------------------------------------- ð In home⦠Throwing a party? Sorry, it might not be fun â unless you give it a [wacky theme]( designed to go viral on TikTok. Also, [cushions]( could help. So could avoiding asking people [what they do for a living]( (because, no one likes that). Meanwhile, in kitchen news, [Tupperware]( could soon be putting the lid on its business. Meaning, it could only be a matter of time âtil those kitchen staples are as hot a commodity as [vintage Pyrex](. Or, Huy Fong Foodsâ iconic [Sriracha sauce](, which is once again in short supply. Oh and those dessert-flavored waters all over your FYP [may not be so sweet](. --------------------------------------------------------------- ð In style⦠Turns out, Anthropologie, Zara, and Madewell apparently have [better resale value]( than luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Gucci. Maybe not surprising, since Gen Z loves a good [dupe](. Which might also explain why [outlet malls](, like all other things â90s, are now making a comeback. In beauty news, [French bangs]( are, well, banging. Same with [hair spirals](. And this yearâs festival makeup is all about [function]( (and zero cultural appropriation). Skimm Reads "[A Living Remedy](" by Nicole Chung...Losing your parents is a universal experience â which doesnât make it any less unique, or any less painful. In this beautiful memoir, the author of [âAll You Can Ever Knowâ]( brings us with her as she faces the death of her father, followed by her motherâs. She explores what it means to move far away from home, the way that class affects how a person lives and dies, and the nuances of grief. Despite its central subject, itâll make you feel alive. The State of Black Farming This Earth Month, weâre shining a light on Black farmers and the work they do to provide healthy and sustainable food for their communities.
