Friday Open Thread

Good evening, kids. We’re heading off into the night in just a moment, but first, here are the things we talked about on The Hairpin this week. Let us know how you’re doing, and have a lovely (long?) weekend.

• We met a magical feminist cyber game creator named Porpentine, a brave woman by the name of Greathead, and a woman who travels alone, but for work.

• We made engagement chicken, three ways.

• We consider chilling at some chill summer music festivals.

• We got advice from A Queer Chick and A Baba Yaga.

• We talked to Katie Heaney about her book (!) and Summer Anne Burton about her work.

• We feared weapons and shorties.

• We went for a run, maybe?

• And we were all declared Lady Ediths.
