Reading This Week...

Yes, Queens how a generation of new voices are making podcasts more diverse. Black lives matter more than white feelings:  "Many of us don’t have a lot of firsthand experience with social-change movements. We’re pretty good at expressing ourselves on Facebook, but we don’t routinely walk around with our views written on a sign." Why you've got to quit the "tough love" for your fat friend's health. "But you don't look like you have an eating disorder." Eight questions to ask yourself about your relationship with food. A guide for talking about female Olympians. A black girl won a gold medal for swimming and why it's so emotional for black Americans. A 54-count deck of Woman Cards, including Hillary Clinton, Beyonce and Rosa Parks. A dangerous article that outed gay Olympians.
