Let’s just get radically honest from the start: calling out racism is not just a moral imperative—it’s the bare minimum for anyone who claims to care about justice, humanity, or progress. In a supremacist country obsessed with power, money, and control, staying silent is being complicit, no matter how liberal your hashtag or “Black Lives […]
Grasping the Soul of Reparations- Beyond Buzzwords If you’ve ever actually stopped to listen—to really, really listen—to Black and Indigenous voices about reparations, you know this word isn’t just a political talking point. Reparations is a promise broken, again and again, by a country that would rather repaint its story than confront its wounds. Reparations
Supporting BLM isn’t a trend or social media phase—it’s an ongoing, personal, unapologetic commitment to confronting anti-Black racism and seizing every possible opportunity to build real, lasting justice. This goes right to the bone. If you identify as a woman, if you’re part of the LGBTQIA2S+ community, if you’re leftist, if you’re childfree, if you
Let’s Not Sugarcoat It- BLM Is Essential, Period Why does BLM matter? Let’s have a real conversation—one that isn’t choked by politeness, one where we can finally drop the act. BLM matters because Black people are dying. Black people are being locked up, shut out of opportunity, and their voices are drowned by centuries of
There comes a point when “just knowing the basics” is not enough. I reached that point with BLM history. I’m not talking about a tidy Wikipedia summary or the generalized stories whitewashed for comfort. I’m talking about the real stuff—the pulsing, radical, sometimes-chaotic but always courageous heartbeat behind Black Lives Matter. Do you ever feel
I’ve spent far too many years protecting, massaging, and catering to men’s offended ego simply because the world trains us—especially women, LGBTQIA2S+ folks, and anyone outside the cis, male “norm”—to keep these fragile egos afloat. Growing up in a society riddled with toxic masculinity, we are repeatedly told that their discomfort, disappointment, and rage are
Let’s get real for a minute: everywhere you look, you’ll find a man who believes—truly believes—he’s unlike anyone else to ever walk this earth. There’s nothing more predictable than a guy announcing, “I’m not like other men!” with all the pride of someone who just invented fire. It’s a curious and exhausting type of performative
Let’s talk about basic decency—the very foundation of how humans should treat each other. It’s really wild how, in 2025, this is still up for debate, but here we are. Women still find themselves expected, and sometimes demanded, to praise men for showing the bare minimum of respectful, non-abusive behavior—as if doing what should be
Let’s set the stage. If you’re a woman, especially if you’re feminist, queer, Black, or anywhere outside that default axis, you’ve encountered the so-called Nice Guy. Maybe he was the one who “listened” to your trauma stories only to someday guilt you for not dating him. Maybe he was the one huffing and puffing in
We live in a culture built to cushion egos, but not ours. The truth is, male fragility isn’t rare—it’s the daily background music of every woman’s life. From the workplace to Tinder to community activism spaces, male fragility follows us everywhere. Even the most self-labeled “woke” guys melt down if you dare critique them or,
