| Good morning. 🌬️ Today, craft as a way to connect with others during the pandemic, reviews of Adebunmi Gbadebo and Rodney McMillian, and a map of police brutality at Black Lives Matter protests. I also want to point you to Rea McNamara’s inaugural post. She’s the new Emily H. Tremaine Journalism Fellow for Curators, and she has outlined some of the issues she will be exploring in curated online feminist spaces during the coming months. We all know what tomorrow is so look out for our special Election Day newsletter in your inboxes, and then if you still haven’t (and you’re a US citizen), wear a mask, bring a pen, and GO VOTE! – Hrag Vartanian, editor-in-chief | |
