'People say women can't be funny. WRONG... I love Reductress.'-Sam Bain, co- creator of Peep Show The definitive manual on how to be the best feminist you can be-as told by a hilariously misguided yet well-meaning women's magazine. From the creators of the wildly popular satirical website, Reductress.
A biting humor collection about the cult of productivity and the feeling of impending doom that comes with it, from Reductress. Juggling careers, maintaining relationships, managing side gigs, and sustaining an engaging social media presence is hard--and we're expected to do it all while battling the ever-present feeling of existential dread against the backdrop of climate catastrophe, an ongoing pandemic, and social isolation. From the editors and most popular writers of Reductress, the only satirical women's magazine in publication, How to Stay Productive When the World is Ending is a collection of essays, how-tos, and "inspirational" graphics to help you laugh when staying both sane and productive in a commodified world feels impossible. From "'Doing What You Love' and Why That's Bad," to "Why I'm Prioritizing My Career Over Finding a Better Career," this collection perfectly skewers the indignities, big and small, of living through late-stage capitalism.
