Here are some important recent posts that you shouldn’t miss:

*“Why I’m On Strike Today: I Can’t Support Myself On $7.85 at Burger King,” by Willieta Dukes

Burger King says they can’t pay employees like me higher wages because it would force them out of business. Yet last year it made $117m in profits and its CEO took home $6.47m. It would take me 634 years to earn that much.

*“Turning on a Dime: False Equivalence in Purity Culture,” by Dani Kelley

It is a goddamn lie that a person cannot stop themselves from having sex if they have been engaging in hot and heavy sexual contact.

*”A Letter to My Sisters Who Showed Up for Islan Nettles and Ourselves at the Vigil:” by Janet Mock

You still dare to be seen, to live your life, to share your truth. You and I know that we are not stereotypes or statistics, that our lives are not disposable and that we deserve and demand so much better.

*”When Your (Brown) Body is a (White) Wonderland,” by Tressie McMillan Cottom

[Miley Cyrus] is playing a type of black female body as a joke to challenge her audience’s perceptions of herself while leaving their perceptions of black women’s bodies firmly intact.

*”Pacifism as Privilege,” by Jordan Mattox

Our choice for peace is on the back of violence and in the absence of direct violence to us.
