Celebrate Friendsgiving at Host Publications’ monthly feminist reading series and ice cream party, hosted by editors Annar Verold and Claire Bowman. Offering poetry readings this time around are Talia Pinzari, a public relations director and poet from New England living in Austin, and Cindy Huyser, host of BookWoman’s Second Thursday Poetry Series. If you’re looking to get rid of extra cans of food – or funds – ATX Free Fridge will collect them for people without food access. Or, if you have some gratitude to express in poetic form, there will be an open mic for the taking – reserved primarily for writers in historically marginalized communities. But the free ice cream scoops? That’s for everyone. – Lina Fisher
