*The real issue of 'representation' isn’t that there aren’t enough powerful women. It’s that what is represented as feminism is actually corporatism.*

I've long had the feeling that focusing on how many women are executives of large companies is a distraction from the issues that affect the lives of millions of non-rich women for whom a steady 9-to-5 job would be a dream.

*Frequency of intense floods and storms could double in 13 years, says study.*

Floods have caused a food shortage in East Africa.

The campaign for racist censorship has launched a new battle, targeting a book about Hispanics that live near the US-Mexico border, written by someone who is basically a gringo.

We must reject any attempt to claim that someone has no right to write about a certain subject. However, if the book repeats stereotypes, that is a valid criticism of it. And it is entirely legitimate to criticize publishers and demand that they publish and promote the writing of Hispanics that live near the US-Mexico border.

Please don't buy this (or any) book from Amazon. For your freedom's sake, always pay cash for books, and without identifying yourself. And never accept commercial e-books that impose DRM, surveillance, or an antisocial contract that forbids sharing copies.
