Welcome to the day of epic meltdowns. Need something to do while hiding under a blanket in a room with a locked door? Lots of scary stuff happening: Elon Musk taking over Twitter, the Supreme Court looks like it’s going to gut affirmative action. But I’m keeping it pretty light here as we bid October adieu with some timely and classic seasonal reading recommendations to get you through you or your child’s candy hangovers—also some stuff I’m watching, and my one extremely hot tip for getting rid of all that candy without a switch witch or other punitive measures, because aren’t our bodies disciplined enough by capitalist patriarchy? Never forget— the origin of the modern-day witch is in policing feminine sexuality and pushing women into the home! My candy hot tip, on the other hand, is just delicious. Hang in until the end for it.
