Three cheers for Friday

And none for bullshit

This is the shorty version of #WELLread. So we aren’t going to get all poetic or drop deep words of wisdom. We’re just here to give three quick links to the headlines and stories that really stuck out this week so you can go into your weekend informed, connected, and well. Preview:

NEED TO KNOW

• Harvey Weinstein, Hillary Clinton, and blaming women for the acts of men. Or, an incomplete list of things that are not men’s fault
  By Rebecca Solnit

In summary: It’s YOUR fault you’re not Matt Damon.

ACTION

• Affordable Healthcare. It’s Lit AF.
  ACA enrollment is open and Action Blitz has the social media toolkit we should all be using to post daily reminders for our friends, family, co-workers, second cousins, and those people we may or may not have met at a conference that one time? #CollectiveCare

“The Trump administration has slashed outreach funding and the enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act.
Join us to sabotage #ACASabotage by sharing the graphics/memes/videos/pdfs/etc with everyone you know, every media outlet, everywhere.”

PRACTICE

• Gun Reform: Speaking Truth to Bullshit, Practicing Civility, and Affecting Change
  By Brene Brown

“When we engage in the ‘us versus them’ argument, we lose. The only person who wins is the person who owns the framing of the argument.”
