Here’s a book on why women shouldn’t vote. I highly recommend it.

Exactly!
The book was published by the National Woman Suffrage Association in the United States in 1917 and was part of a larger struggle to gain women's right to vote.
They won the battle in 1919/1920, although many women - e.g. black women and Native American women - were still, in practice, suppressed from voting up until the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s.
New Zealand was the first country in the world to allow women to go to the polls. It happened in 1893.

Closed captions suck
Or: why ‘[mournful violin music that sounds like crying alone in an empty bar]’ is a way more interesting caption than just ‘[music]’.
Artist Christine Sun Kim poetically explores caption communication in her short film [Closer Captions].
Thanks for reading!

Feminomenal?
Yup, this season I’ve decided to devote all blog posts to a f*e*m*a*l*e approach meaning: All texts, videos, etc., will be about women and/or created by women (or by a team strongly represented by women).
WHY? Because overall, a female approach only gets a little airtime in this world, and we need to change this.
Representation matters! And this is my contribution to help balance things.
So! A BIG WELCOME, and THANK YOU for joining - enjoy - enjoy - enjoy.
