Here’s the thing — I’ve never read The Great Gatsby, and I think that’s okay.

Bad With Money is a hip financial podcast hosted by Gaby Dunn, a comedian, YouTuber, and New York Times best-selling author. In this podcast, she discusses finances in a social justice context. Recently, I listened to episode 5 of the podcast called “Should I Hate Germany?” and it was incredibly eye-opening. Where else can I hear a conversation between a Holocaust survivor and her granddaughter?

The main character in Little Miss P by Ken Koyama is an anthropomorphized period. This manga is groundbreaking because it illustrates and discusses menstruation when it’s still taboo at large. Warning: Light spoilers ahead!

The 2010s were a roller coaster of radical progress, pain, and resistance. Along the way were the books that paved the individual paths of our own crew to inspire our writing and personal journeys. So it is only fitting that we share our picks with you. 

Because there are so many books that transcend time, our picks are a mixture of books published in this decade as well as previous decades.

You can’t stream the best song of the decade on Spotify, even though it’s by the best rapper of the decade. You can listen to it on Youtube, where, in its top 3 iterations, there’s a FMV cut together with Looney Tune clips, a black and white lyrics video with wrong lyrics, and one including a static picture of Kendrick Lamar, said best rapper of the decade. It is a song where the best rapper of the decade isn’t even the best part of the song--not that he’s bad, but in the same way that on a Dinosaur Jr song, the best part is a guitar solo--because he is busy laying foundation and tensions for the final bits of release in the song. The song, however, is not cathartic. The song is not an anthem, but an anti-anthem, down to its knotty relationship with the audience. The song is “Cartoons and Cereal” by Kendrick Lamar and Gunplay. ​

​Here’s your annual reminder that it’s okay to enjoy food on the holidays. Also, keep your eyes on your own plate instead of shaming someone else for what’s on theirs. Food shaming, food policing, and fatphobia kill any kind of cheer the holidays have to offer.
