MJ recommends two stories, Colin Kaepernick and the Question of Who Gets to Be Called a "Patriot," a look at what it means to be and who we consider to be patriotic in America, in light of the Colin Kapernick protests and Leslie Jones being sent to the Olympics because of her love of team USA. He also recommends "In Defense of Villainesses," published on Tor, which is a feminist critique of the way we demonize female villains for their ambition.。 Cheryl recommends "Who Gets to Write What?" by Kaitlyn Greenidge, an article about identity, cultural appropriation and who can write what.
