Post-election links, volume 1

Today’s links: post-election reading for just about every need. It took me until today to even bear to begin reading some of these; feel free to click/Pocket in your own time.

To read for a good cry and profound expression of the unique pain women across the nation are feeling: Lindy West’s “Her Loss,” in The New York Times.

To read if you’re a political journalist girding your loins for the next four (should we be so lucky) years: Margaret Sullivan’s “A call to action for journalists in covering President Trump,” in the Washington Post. (H/t Claire!)

To read if you’re interested in what the role of Facebook, of “I’m not a media company but I kind of am!!!” fame, is/should be from this point forward: The Intercept’s “Facebook, I’m begging you, please make yourself better.”

To read if you’re a masochist and still want to analyze what went wrong: Politico did a roundup of takes from 11 media leaders here.

To read if you want to read something empowering that isn’t an election reaction piece: MTV’s “Ariana Grande is the hero we need in a summer of sad-boy pop.”

Take care of yourselves, and one another, this weekend.
