Weekend Roundup / Open Thread
HAPPY HALLOWEEN Y’ALL. Here is a spooky thought: none of our dope Halloween Advent Calendar would’ve happened without the inimitable Jolie Kerr, so give it up for Jolie. (I will pause and allow you the adequate time to give It up.)
(It should be long, because Jolie is great.)
(OK, you can stop now.)
Dang, what a week. We opened with Haley talking about her vibrator, which… good. That’s exactly why I took this job, to read about my boss’ sex toys. #blessed. We championed death positivity, analyzed a new album, re-read Fear Street, made some white people tacos, played light as a feather, stiff as a board, defended unlikable protagonists, assimilated, revisited some of Buffy’s favorite treats, used [highbrow cinematic allusions] to define ourselves, texted with Mallory, interviewed the Soska sisters, checked in with Baba Yaga and found some Wikipedia entries to scare our pants off.
As for your two trusty editors: Haley is back in New York next week, and she’ll be teaching jacket draping classes in the middle of the Hudson. Please email her for more info. I wrote something I’m really proud of.
There have been so many CrazySexyCool things by women this week: cyborg Anna Fitzpatrick wrote about courage in journalism, real-life yogurt ghost Natalie Eve Garrett was profiled in Brit + Co, famous person Emma Healey discussed Jian Ghomeshi, comedy genius Monica Heisey got high on Taylor Swift, and HBIC Anna Holmes on the intersection of books and relationships. Read them all when you’re recovering from your hangover, candy or otherwise, and we’ll see you here next week.
