Love, Joy, Feminism
Saturday Link Love is a 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.
Charlottesville Was a Preview of the Future of the Republican Party, on Splinter—“…the only people entering the Republican Party candidate pipeline in the Trump era almost have to be allied with the alt-right, because the alt-right absolutely comprises the only effective and successful youth outreach strategy the GOP currently employs.”
Interracial marriage more common, but acceptance still not universal, on Chicago Tribune—“When Rachel Gregersen gets asked for identification at the same store where her husband does not, or when they eat out together and the waiter asks if they want separate checks, she said, they notice it.”
Game of Thrones Has Become a Terrible Show, on The Week—“You might recall that Game of Thrones was once rightly celebrated for the narrative boldness with which it dispatched Ned Stark, stunning everyone. How did the show whose toughest lesson was that anyone can die give rise to a season like this one, where apparently nobody can?”
Mother of two black and three white kids’ post on racism is a must read, on Daily O—“Do store personnel follow your children when they are picking out their Gatorade flavors? They don’t follow my white kids.”
Why Rich New Yorkers are Hiding Their Wealth and Privilege, on The New York Post—“These locals live pampered lives — with multiple high-end properties, teams of household employees and frequent, lavish vacations — but still, they do impressive mental gymnastics to avoid identifying themselves as truly rich.”
