Casting it Out

The moments we stayed longer than we should have, shrank ourselves to keep the peace, and worked ov...

This week, we are celebrating the unhinged magic of girlhood. The science of Girl Math. The confidence of one drink to trauma dump and three drinks to become everyone’s best friend. The instant bond of meeting a girl in the bar bathroom who tells you she loves your outfit, and suddenly she knows your whole life story. We look back on the late nights out, the house party phase, the growing-up momen...
