![]() ![]() It's an activist glossary without the mental masturbation and self-satisfied nonsense you often get in these types of discussions. I'm in love with the index/glossary in the back of the book called, "Franchesa's Simple Explanations of Not-So-Simple Concepts" in which she defines terms like "male gaze" or "microagression" or "trigger" and other terms you'll see in comment flame wars but might not know. In Well, That Escalated Quickly, she shares her (often hilarious) learning curve with us and opens more space for big conversations. ![]() What followed was a crash course in intersectionality, feminism, activism, social justice, and generally how to be a decent person on the internet. Franchesca tells us the story of when her YouTube parody video, Shit White Girls Say to Black Girls, went viral.and all of the opportunities and backlash that came her way as a result of sharing your voice on the internet. ![]() It's a funny, touching, and educational look at what it's really like to stand up for what you believe in online. If you're a denizen of the internet and/or ever use social media, you need to read this book. ![]()
