#feministfriday episode 68 | And A Happy New Year
I'm not going to lie, I'm really phoning it in today. Hope you're having a good day too.
Jess Zimmerman! She has been featured more than once in Fem Friday and I always like reading her work. Here, she writes about the work that she does and enjoys and - tying in nicely with the Jezebel article from last week - this includes fewer to no Hot Takes:
I am truly, truly weary of Takes, clickbait, Twitter fights, news pegs, #content. Writing Takes doesn’t pay, but proportional to the work involved, writing lovingly-crafted essays pays a lot less

Also in case you don't click on every single link in that article, and in case like me you missed it the first time around, here are 19 ways in which feminists are going to ruin Ghostbusters, all of which are excellent:
Venkwoman: I’m gonna go for broke. I am madly in love with you.
Dana: I don’t believe this. Will you please leave?
Venkwoman: Yes, of course I’ll respect your clearly stated boundaries.

Finally, this as every year, I wrote a review of my reading over the previous year. It's not feminist particularly it's more that I wrote it and I'm a woman and nothing a woman does should ever be criticised. I hope you enjoy it.

Have a great evening and 2016,
