  1. Getting real about bad advice | language: a feminist guide<\/a>
    \nWhy advice to women to change how they speak is misguided. Via Grace, who says “It takes awhile to get there (while making other good points, mind you), but at the end, it makes a really good point about why recognizing and understanding structural inequalities is important.”<\/li>\n

  9. Trump used $258,000 from his charity to settle legal problems – The Washington Post<\/a>
    \nHe also bought himself hugely expensive things from his charity, bought advertising for his hotel with his charity, etc. He has not, by the way, donated any of his own money to his charity for years; the money comes from other people’s donations. He’s like a cartoon tycoon villain.<\/li>\n

  15. Asking the Wrong Questions: Tales of the City: Thoughts on Luke Cage<\/a>
    \nNussbaum, like me, has a very mixed reaction to Luke Cage. The show does everything so well – except for the story. But the things it does right (mainly, the complete centering of a black and brown community at every level) are so rare to see in the superhero genre that it overwhelms the things it does wrong.<\/li>\n
  16. Jeffrey Tambor, Coming Out, and \u201cThe Most Important Time To Be An Artist\u201d \u2013 Medium<\/a>
    \nInteresting story from a writer who took an acting workshop for trans actors taught by Tambor.<\/li>\n

  18. Why Trump Answered the Wrong Question on Race<\/a>
    \nReally interesting take, especially on how Black communities are simultaneously over and under policed. Thanks to Mandolin for the link.<\/li>\n
  19. “I don\u2019t know how to describe this .gif of a mcdonald\u2019s fight on rideau street except to say that at one point, someone pulls out a raccoon.”<\/a><\/li>\n
