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.
This “Cool Black Girl” Is Gone, on Salon—“He looks at me and levies the accusation that I fear most in moments like this: ‘I feel like you’re treating me like I’m racist.'”
While you celebrate the third royal marriage, remember the women in Britain who aren’t allowed a third child, on the Independent—“It’s an unhappy coincidence that the announcement of a third royal baby comes in the same year the Government deems third babies a luxury not every family has earned.”
Were you on this Delta plane that flew into Hurricane Irma? on Jalopnik—“Flights are being canceled left and right, but one Delta crew woke up Wednesday morning with a planned trek from New York City to San Juan and said f*** it.”
It’s Basically Just Immoral to be Rich, on Current Affairs—“The central point, however, is this: it is not justifiable to retain vast wealth.”
School lunches are too short. And that’s a problem, on Bright—“Lewis was shocked to learn that the lunch period was incredibly short — the allotted 20 minutes included getting the kindergarteners to the cafeteria, standing in line for the school lunch, eating and cleanup.”
Rahm Emanuel’s Math: The Relative Worth of Chicago’s Black and Brown Students, on On Principal—“Of the 76 majority black schools that appealed, the $760,470 awarded to 74 of them was over $67,000 less than the combined total granted to just four majority white schools.”
