Friday Open Thread
Oh, what a week. We made it. Some things you might have missed:
• A brief history of polka dots.
• Weird boyfriends and height differences.
• Must good writing be serious?
• “It felt almost transgressive to think that I could just build the family I wanted on my own.”
• Would The Anna Nicole Smith Story by any other independent filmmaker be as sweet?
• So you just moved to a city and you’re friendless.
Also, Jia is collecting your mortifying childhood photos from Fourths of July past. Please send them to [email protected] with the subject “FREEDOM.” (Quotation marks optional.) And from last week: You have until midnight to fill out the mapping The Hairpin survey. Happy weekend.
