- The Indian Express has a great article on the Indian stand-up comedy scene, and the inherent sexism in it. Tarishi Verma discusses three of India's lead women comics, and how they are tearing it up despite an uphill battle.
- You probably heard about the bombing in Manchester during an Ariana Grande concert. The Atlantic has a sobering article on how an attack on a venue specifically designed for women and young girls, is particularly horrifying. Yes, every terrorist attack is awful. But there's a special place in hell for a suicide bomber that targets a feminine space specifically.
- Refingery29 has a great interview with writer Jill Filipovic, who wrote The H Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of Happiness. There is a great discussion of how feminism makes women unhappy... but not for the reasons you think. The interview is worth a read, not to mention putting this book on your to-read list.
For today's musical hit, we have Ariana Grande and Miley Cyrus with "Don't Dream Its Over" from the live One Love Manchester.
