If you’ve been following BUST closely, you may have noticed that over the holidays, we re-shared our 10 most popular posts of 2016 on social media. We’ve decided to bring them to you in a post as well. We were excited to see that so many of our most popular posts were about ways to fight back against Donald Trump; in fact, a full half of our top 10 most popular posts of the year were published in the week following the election. Although 2016 was a trash fire of a year, the stories you clicked on prove that there are so many smart, passionate people out there who care about fighting sexism, racism, Islamophobia, and our terrible president-elect. And that gives us hope for the future.
