Tuesday Link List



Ranked: 10 Paintings of Judith Beheading Holfernes - Current Affairs

I am always trying to tell people about the political history of women's pockets, so this article is right smack dab in my wheelhouse.
Women's Pockets Have a Surprisingly Political History - Curiosity

Nagini's Portrayal as an East Asian Woman is Deeply Problematic - Adiba Jaigirdar on Book Riot
(when (all of) your faves are problematic...)

Opposition leaders propose different minimum wages for youth, servers - Michelle Belfontaine on CBC
Overall, really great article showing what party leaders have to say about some important issues facing Albertans today. I definitely do not agree in having tiered wage rates, especially considering the gross assumption that all young people have parents (family) who can provide for all of their needs today and in the future. Um hi yes post-secondary is BLOODY EXPENSIVE, and also some parents are terrible. (This story has since expanded since I found this link...)

And then some parents are awesome. This mom is trying to be a good advocate for her son.
Edmonton mother desperate to find round-the-clock care for son following eight suicide attempts - Anna McMillian on CBC News

TRIGGER WARNING in this next one (a poem) for rape, transmisogyny & transphobia
Letters to the Editor - Gwen Benaway on Room

And let's end on a fun note! The "Charmed" reboot launched this week! I loved the first one, and the new version looks super fun and timely.
"Charmed" Review: Come For the Kickass Lesbian Witch, Stay for the Sisterhood - Carmen Phillips on Autostraddle
