yendiBusy day. Have some reading material
1. Alyssa Rosenberg writes about Miley Cyrus, cultural appropriation, and the VMA's ongoing problems with race and gender.
2. Meanwhile, at ThoughtCatalog, Nico Lang notes that Cyrus is hardly on the vanguard of cultural appropriators.
3. As far as the mainstream media coverage of Cyrus goes, here's The Onion on CNN's angle.
4. Speaking of The Onion: Study: Americans enjoy watching TV, Eating.
5. Sociology 710: Social Theory Through Complaining. Maybe it's funnier if you're in academia. The flame wars in the comments are also wonderful.
6. Amy Grace Lloyd on her time as literary editor of Playboy.
7. Was ESPN Sloppy, Naive, or Compromised? I'd say all three.
8. Heading over to ThoughtCatalog again, here's Samantha Allen on what to do if you're called out for transphobia.
9. More than 30 towns in Texas will soon be without water. There's a lot of schadenfreude in the article and the comments (and the politicians certainly deserve it), but at the core, it's a lesson about what the sort of willful scientific ignorance prized by the likes of Rick Perry and the Writer Known as Venerial Disease will get you.
10. Finally, here's the final goodbye from Bunheads, a better show than anything remaining on ABC Family (or ABC's entire family of networks, actually).
