| 547 | 2020-06-24 | What racism really is (hint: it’s not your attitude or belief) Our obsession with racist attitudes can obscure the fact that racism is a system, devised to justify slavery, with a hierarchy that still defines the value of our lives today – that’s why you can be racist without being a racist. |

| 513 | 2020-06-05 | Sapiens: groundbreakingly original in the history it tells, predictably disappointing in the history it leaves out I read Yuval Noah Harari’s self-described history of humanity to see if it had a place for someone like me. But although Harari’s bestseller promises a satellite view of human history, it has some very traditional blindspots. |

| 462 | 2020-05-13 | People like me don’t miss the outside. Here’s why I miss being able to do what I want. I don’t miss the constant casual sexism, homophobia, or street harassment.

| 378 | 2020-03-27 | Why social distancing won’t work for us Keep a distance from each other. Work from home. Or rely on a social safety net. The measures against the coronavirus pandemic are made by and for those parts of the world that can afford to retreat in individualism. But for millions of people in cities like Lagos, Nigeria, there’s no such thing as socially distancing yourself. |

| 294 | 2020-02-14 | Forget romantic love. Let’s celebrate (and practise) a different kind of love instead You know the story: a dashing man meets a damsel in distress, and they live happily ever after in wedded bliss. But real love is so much more than a fantasy. Love is embracing curiosity and caring for ourselves. It’s working for the collective good and self-respect. And yes, when done properly, love can change the world. |
