Friday Open Thread

We’ve made it. Happy weekend, everyone. In case you missed anything, we’ve been:

Surviving the flu 19th-century style and going three years without shampoo

• Talking about the Downton Abbey women as parts of our cursed contemporary whole

Losing our libido and editing our online dating profiles for accuracy

• Asking Baba Yaga about wish-fulfillment and wondering if it’s time to invest in a man

• Searching the stars (in One Direction) for our fortunes and wondering why they didn’t just make Hillary a black hole

How are you doing? How are we doing? Who should I interview next?
