Anarcho_Nick’s Digest 8
Website Update
The Beauty and The Beast feminist analysis should be finished before this Thursday. I feel like I just need to add some finishing touches and do a revision before releasing it. It’s an interesting exploration for me because I can’t remember ever really consciously identifying as a feminist until quite recently.
