Hi Toasties! Toast Points will be short and sweet this week, because I have to go meet my kids’ teachers this afternoon. (oh thank you Lord Jesus the end of the summer is nigh, HIGH-FIVE ME ONE AND ALL)

This week, we got to read Texts from H.P. Lovecraft. Our beloved Green Gables got the Great House Therapy treatment. Christienna Fryar wrote about her years as a competitive swimmer and the need for Black people to feel safe and welcome at public pools. A longtime Toastie told us how she realized she was being emotionally abused by her husband, and how powerful it was to be believed.

Mallory wrote beautiful Serena/Drake fanfiction (though we know it’s real). Childbirth probably would have killed you in the early modern period. What’s the deal with the “golden retriever” action movie trope? Why couldn’t you come to my play?

If Chris Pratt were your boyfriend. Internet slang and why you should have your own style guide. How to tell if you’re in a chivalric romance. YOU’RE LATE FOR SCHOOL.

Have a glorious weekend, friends! Next week I’m finally going to share the conversation I had with Celeste Ng, author of Everything I Never Told You and one of my favorite people on twitter dot com, so if you’re looking for some weekend reading, maybe check out her book.
