Happy Thanksgiving!
Happy almost Thanksgiving, y’all! This week, we find ourselves in Thailand(!), on a 10-day getaway with two of our nearest and dearest and oldest friends. We got our turkey on early this year, with our annual Friendsgiving dinner with our New York friend-family, and we’ll be celebrating on the actual day with noodles and elephants…

Friendsgiving: A Guide
It’s almost Thanksgiving, the time when we all — in the United States, at least — take a quick sojourn from the everyday to feast with family and celebrate what we are thankful for in our lives. But before the family celebrations, there is Friendsgiving, the holiday sensation that’s sweeping the nation (Seth Cohen is…

Civic Duty
Twenty-five strangers walk into a room, where two men stand at a table. One is well-dressed, dapper even, with a fastidiously trimmed beard and a bold choice of colored necktie. He gesticulates freely and frequently, projecting his slight lisp all the way to the back of the fluorescent-lit room. The other wears his rumpled suit…

Thankful
It goes without saying that 2016 has been a bit of a year. From shootings and refugee crises and legends lost to the festering dumpster fire that was this year’s presidential election, there is no shortage of doom and gloom around us. Even in this season of twinkly lights and cocoa, it can be hard…

So Here’s the Spiel
There’s an episode in the first season of “Girls” when Hannah Horvath/Lena Dunham goes home to Michigan for a weekend. The ostensive purpose of the trip is to see her parents (if I recall correctly, an anniversary is involved), but our favorite would-be Voice of a Generation manages to squeeze in a date with her mother’s…

Friendsgiving
Thanksgiving is almost here, which marks the official start of the holiday season. ‘Tis a time of trees and lights, of cookies and latkes, of mulled cider and Santa Claus and 24-7 carols reminding us that this is the most wonderful time of the year. Now I’m a pretty festive person, prone to wearing Santa…

Deep-Fried Shoe! Or Seven Thanksgiving Episodes to Prepare You For the Real Thing
Television has been a large part of Zelda’s and my relationship. In our fourteen years of friendship, we’ve bonded over many serialized fictional characters, matching up who is who from our actual friend groups to the ones that graced our beloved small screens (I’m Lorelai; she’s Rory. I’m Robin; she’s Lily. I’m Phoebe; she’s Monica.…
