“Through wide-ranging surveys that examined a
whole week of TV broadcasts and printed media, the
report detailed how women were seen and heard much
less than men, only appearing in 30% of prime-time
broadcasts, and only speaking in 15% of them. Four-
teen years later, little has changed, according to an
upcoming international report.”
Iceland is supposed to be a feminist
paradise… right?
“What brought the experience way, way down for
me were the sheer number of intoxicated, lily-white
twenty-somethings gleefully singing along to each
and every N-word blaring out of the speakers. It's
not a good look, guys; and it's telling. It's beyond the
shady area of appropriation (which people argue
back and forth on). It is a concrete example of why the
Icelandic hip-hop scene, while jocular, lively, and often
entertaining, is simultaneously insidious.”
Merchants’ Weekend passed with a wealth of
festivals. Reviews inside!

“She is also quick to point out that the restaurant—
catering to Iceland’s notorious love of toppings—
provides free sauces: cocktail sauce, barbecue
sauce, cold sauces, and many more, which serve to
make it an attractive place for a quick and
tasty meal.”
Why on earth is IKEA Iceland’s most popular
restaurant? Is it the allure of ready-made
furniture? The delightful convenience of
munching while you browse? The infamous
Swedish meatballs? We explore.
Americana life.
