Trish Franks is 71% done with Erased: What American Patriarchy Has Hidden from Us
Meta's own research found:

500,000 child Instagram accounts had inappropriate interactions every single day.

32% of teen girls said when they feel bad about their bodies Instagram makes them feel worse.

The more depressed young girls are, the more likely they are to use Meta's apps.

Facebook and Instagram are well aware that hate and depression increases our consumption!!

Extremely terrifying and compelling case for midwifery!

Also generally an insanely true argument about why we don't have enough maternity leave and child care (spoiler it's American patriarchy).

Also has a book ever been more relevant in light of Dolores Huertas' recently shared story!!

Shocking similarities between my childhood and Tubbs! International travel and an almost long distance relationship with your "homeland". Similarly I heard so much about America (starry eyed and deep disgust) while being raised abroad.

I also trace my ability to see American systems and inequalities in the necessity of understanding a new culture and country when moving abroad.

"We know better than to repeat our masculine systems"
John Adams to Abigail Adams' request to remember women when founding the country.
Eeek

I didn't know Thomas Jefferson was concerned about French women one day ruling France. Also Thomas Jeffersons' strict rules for his daughters...

Good reminder that if the Founding Fathers lived today exactly as they were... We would not care for them at all.

What an icon! She teases him to keep things light and will not melt just because she loves him so much or because he sang a gorgeous romantic song for her.

"Goodnight my- ..."

It's way too good

I also love the way she talked to herself! Trying to chastise herself out of her crush. It's so dramatic and absolutely timeless.

I sometimes wonder if we have as much patience for people's different ways or bad manners as they do for Bahman. Also I have a friend named Bahman from Iran and I am ashamed to admit that I have been pronouncing his name all wrong according to this audio book....
