Happy New Year
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes…
#MakeHerpesGreatAgain
When you are critical towards one candidate, the argument seems to be that you are somehow supporting the other. Newsflash: I can actually dislike multiple people at once – it’s like a special super power I have. Just because I don’t want herpes doesn’t mean I am looking for some gonorrhea…
Stop Telling Me To Vote!
This election year is by far the most insane spectacle I have ever witnessed in American politics.

Solidarity With Leslie
As a white woman in America, there are a lot of shitty things that I do not have to endure. In fact, there are probably way too many to list. For one, I don’t have to deal with racism, covert or blatant. Society in general looks at me differently than it does women of color.…

Why aren’t you at work?!” says the guy in the Trump line to a protester, seemingly unaware that he too is here on a bright Monday morning obviously not attending to his chosen profession. The predicted wild throngs of “anarchists” (to quote Sheriff David Clarke, though…
“If You Don’t Want Minimum Wages, Don’t Work Minimum Jobs”
Everybody is so worried that their tiny little piece of Earth is going to be taken by one of their peers, that they seem to have forgotten their humanity…
I Am a Revolutionary, Perhaps
In America, we love to be outraged over the imagined, but when our fellow brothers and sisters are facing a legitimate crisis, we respond by sticking our heads in the sand; or worse yet, we go so low as to blame the victims.
