Love, Joy, Feminism
Saturday Link Love is a new feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.
How to Avoid Shaming Your Child, on Aha Parenting—“Many of the ways we “guide” children are actually designed to provoke shame.”

Civil Rights Protests Have Never Been Palatable to White People, on Feministing—“Time and time again, in criticizing us, these white people said that they would obviously support the cause if only activists were “less divisive” and “more like MLK.” We called bullshit.”
The Surprising True History of Cinco de Mayo, on Time—“The holiday, which is often misconstrued as the Mexican Fourth of July, is not at all what people think it is.”
A new Biggest Loser study shows why it’s so hard to lose weight and keep it off, on Vox—“But the most remarkable finding was that the participants’ metabolisms had vastly slowed down through the study period.”
Resettling the First American “Climate Refugees”, on the New York Times—“A $48 million grant for Isle de Jean Charles, La., is the first allocation of federal tax dollars to move an entire community struggling with the effects of climate change.”
