#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. Radicalism is at an all time high – regardless of political stance – and the “candidates” could possibly be the absolute worst that this nation has to offer. The American people are bombarded with propaganda on a daily basis…
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.…

The Radicalization of a White Girl, Misunderstood
Radical: one who favors drastic political, economic, or social reforms: radical ideas; radical and anarchistic ideologues. Even though I have been labeled a “radical” on more than one occasion, I do not consider myself to be any more radical than the average, moderately cognizant citizen. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that this…
The Sky is Still Firmly in Place Above Us
Don’t read this article. Seriously. Just deactivate your social media accounts now and go outside. Still here, you rebel? Okay then. I made a huge fucking mistake. After a month off Facebook, I gave in and logged back on. And just like that, I was immediately assaulted by the death and destruction that is the…

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Donald
Timeline: Hickory, NC March 14, 2016 “Get a job! 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.
The GOP Primary Update: Big D*cks, High Heels, Strange Endorsements, Assaults and Denial
With what feels like 17 nationally televised debates a day, it can be hard to keep up with the chaotic race for the Republican nomination. So here’s everything you need to know in three paragraphs. Breaking: The African-American neurosurgeon and former candidate—known for his belief that the Egyptian pyramids were built by a biblical character…
Brick’s Drum Therapy Matrix
It’s time. All the hours and days of hard work, meticulous preparation, bloody sweat, fighting through frustrations and setbacks, and pushing all the limits to be the best we can be – has all prepared us for this moment. Now, we’re getting our game-face on. Now, we’re reeling in our mind to perfect focus, stretching…
It’s Different for Girls
I love being a woman. In fact, given the choice between being male or female, I would choose to be a woman, every time. Even with all the bullshit that comes along with being female–the lower pay, the pressure to conform to traditional societal standards (getting married, having kids, being a “good” wife), the hormones,…
