Holding Space & Giving Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving, Betch. This week, Aleen, Jordana, and Sami share their plans for the holiday and compare notes on festive dishes. Are Brussels sprouts a millennial vegetable, and is that why they’re not as trendy as they used to be? Sami and Aleen explain to Jordana why everyone this past weekend was “holding space” for the lyrics of Defining Gravity, and why the Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo press tour has been the inspiration for countless memes. This episode was recorded on Monday, so come back next week for their thoughts on the film. In the meantime, Aleen finally rewatched the original Gladiator, and it did make her cry. Our Betch of the Week is Tracy Gilchrist, the Out reporter who gave us the incredible gift of that Wicked interview, and we’re sending the pilgrims to the Caymans for a multitude of past sins. Make sure to finish reading Such A Bad Influence by Olivia Muenter, so you can join us on Monday, December 2nd for the final episode of our Betches Book Club, presented by Nutella Biscuits!
