🍫 Loacker Dark Chocolate Wafers, 📱 Angela Hill, ❤️ Looking at Photos of Laetita Casta, and more.

We built a place to share what you love. Sign up for PI.FYI here to share and ask for recommendations, organize them in lists for later, theme your profile, follow friends, PI guests, & strangers, browse by category, get profiled on our Substack (!), and most importantly, stumble upon something new every time you come back.

This is the first entry of a new series where we highlight our favorite PI.FYI users.

Johanna Hatlem (@johannahatlem on PI.FYI) is a student working towards a degree in French translation. When not at school, she’s probably taking photos of friends, contributing writing to Expat, or working at Applebees. When people point out the unique posting style & language of PI.FYI, it’s early beta users like Johanna that were the blueprint. Lucky for us, Johanna is here to tell us what she’s into.

Without further ado

📱 Angela Hill (@angelahill22)

I discovered Angela Hill the way I discover a lot of stuff now- via Instagram, she has a great, addicting ass Instagram page where she posts her photos with captions such as “The day of connection” and “The warm heart.”  I appreciate avant garde IGs, and more importantly good work. I’ve also never encountered a rare book person I did not love (Angela owns rare books and publishing house “IDEA”)

🍫 Loacker Dark Chocolate Wafers 

I could write a full ass treatise on these but it would likely lead to minor embarrassment down the line if I actually did write effusively on a wafer thin, but please try them- I am being very specific with my rec here not just any Loacker wafer- specifically the DARK chocolate thins. They come in the dark Brown Package.

❤️ Looking at photos of Laetita Casta 

This was one of my early- and actually remains my least popular rec on PI.FYI. However I could not recommend this enough. Laetita is an extremely warm and rare beauty and looking at images of her is addicting and makes me feel like I am accomplishing something even tho I am doing nothing. Her beauty basically fulfills. She’s also almost always smiling which I love. Everyone should smile more again in photos. She always looks impish and gleaming. 

💻 OK.RU 

I have a love affair with Ok.Ru which to my understanding is Russian Facebook? For some reason if you search the video/photo section ok.ru has every single rare movie you could ever want to watch. It has popular ones too but I honestly have way more luck with the randoms. Two of my favorite movies Day for my Love by Juraj Herz and The Living World by Eugene Green were basically impossible for me to find anywhere but here.
