Rat's Nest Week 25

✨Welcome to Rat’s Nest✨ - a weekly newsletter with product recs, recipes, funnies and more to peruse on your midday break

• Next- A subject very near and dear to my heart, 2000s MTV reality shows, has recently resurfaced to the public via comedian Matteo Lane’s reaction video to one of my favorite shows, Next.

• Mr Pommel Dance- Is Dancing with the Stars cool again? Whoever casted the show this season absolutely crushed it. They’ve got Ilona Maher (Team USA Rugby Queen), Steven Nedoroscik (Mr Pommelhorse- Team USA Gymnastics) and Anna Delvey (the con artist that inspired the Netflix show Inventing Anna).

• Meet Moo Deng, the baby pigmy hippo so popular you can visit her for only 5 minutes (she is also now a viral internet star)
