Loving
One of the best movies Sarah saw at TIFF 2016 was the interracial relationship drama, Loving.
The film was a “thoughtful exploration of civil rights abuse” which follows Loving v Virginia, the United States Supreme Court decision that struck down the state’s anti-miscegenation laws.
Sarah wrote about the film for Consequence Of Sound.

Self-defense
While there are few substantive reasons to believe orange-faced Russian stooge/President elect Donald Trump will actually make America great again, his ascension is helping out one industry — self-defense.
Apparently women are signing up for self-defense and martial arts classes in record numbers in anticipation of when Trump’s rape-y term begins.
Sarah wrote about this for Fightland.

Duchess of Cornwall and her security team
When Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, visited the United Arab Emirates recently, she employed an all-female team security team to protect her. This was apparently a first for her and it had an important purpose… to symbolically support female empowerment, religious tolerance, and diversity.
Sarah wrote about the visit for Fightland.

Robert Vaughn
Former television spy and heartthrob actor Robert Vaughn passed away on November 11 at age 83.
His death hit one particular member of the Risky Fuel household (Sarah) very hard.
In her period of mourning after the death of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. and The Magnificent Seven star, she wrote an In Memoriam piece about Vaughn for The Establishment.
One of the things Sarah wrote about was Vaughn’s surprising and sometimes dangerous activism.
It seems this fictional spy was quite concerned with saving lives in the real world.
