Wendy J. Fox @wendyjfox.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I enjoyed this conversation with @kesemmel.bsky.social for @fullstopmag.bsky.social. & I was thinking today about all the problems with the literary canon as it is taught, but also how the way a shared reading history can be a kind of shorthand. 121

Wendy J. Fox @wendyjfox.bsky.social · 17/11/2025But the key issue is equity. We know the NBA is bigger and pulls in more money. Yet, WNBA players take home only 9 percent of league income, while NBA players pocket up to 51 percent. 15856
Wendy J. Fox @wendyjfox.bsky.social · 17/11/2025Yet, viewership of WNBA games is up by 23 percent, and in-person ticket sales have increased by 26 percent, compared to the prior season. 5643
Wendy J. Fox @wendyjfox.bsky.social · 17/11/2025For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.msmagazine.comCalling Foul: Breaking Down WNBA Pay and Why It MattersBreaking Down WNBA Pay for Women Athletes and Why It Matters: a case study in systemic undervaluing of women’s work 18341241291

Wendy J. Fox @wendyjfox.bsky.social · 29/10/2025I reviewed The Mel Robbins for Podcast Review (which is a thing I do) — and wow did this one stick in my craw. Celebs are not really my focus area, but I think what really drove me bananas is how immensely popular this podcast is, when it ultimately says basically nothing. 281
