Trump isn’t as pro-life as you think
Trump’s base praises him for being pro-life, but he revealed the limits of these virtues this past weekend. While he attended the March for Life, his administration released new visa rules advocating for the very opposite. The new visa rules aim to restrict birth tourism, which refers to women traveling to another country with the […]
“Hate Me”: In defense of TikTok
There are two types of people. Those who love TikTok and those who waste their every breath hating on it. No one is above TikTok. It doesn’t make you more mature or of higher taste to look down on it. The world has not been separated childish goons on TikTok from real adults. People from […]
All the hair and no cares
Kids used to call me a gorilla. I have thick, dark hair, which is blessing on my head but a curse literally everywhere else. Even my 8th-grade boyfriend teasingly called me a gorilla. Yeah, we didn’t last long. In grade school, I couldn’t wait for my mom to start letting me shave. I envisioned my […]
Can we knock it off with gender reveals?
Gender reveals are out of control. Literally. In Iowa, a homemade pipe bomb meant to shoot off-colored powder went wrong when a piece of debris hit a family member in the head, killing her instantly. Obviously, this incident was tragic and unintentional, but it was also avoidable. I’m of the opinion that the gender of […]
He doesn’t like you, he’s just a bully
Almost every other day I get a text from my mom about something she finds super important, that’s really not important. However, her text the other day was actually alarming. She sent me a picture of my 12-year-old sister’s black and blue fingernail. Some little punk boy slammed her locker door onto her finger, and […]
Why you shouldn’t care about AOC’s hair
Apparently, digging up someone’s racist tweets is going too far, but digging up their haircut receipts is totally within reason. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has recently come under fire for spending over $300 on a haircut. More specifically, conservative males have been shooting cries of hypocrisy toward AOC. Let me put this into perspective for […]
Leave Greta Thunberg alone
Greta Thunberg is a Swedish 16-year-old climate change activist. She is also climate change deniers’ new punching bag. I’m not here to tell you why climate change is real, because I think Greta and the 97% of scientists who believe climate-warming is human-caused have a good handle on it. I’m here to tell you to […]
Should you go the distance?
Seventy-five percent of college students have been in a long distance relationship, according to a study conducted by Penn State. Now that’s a statistic I can believe. I think I’ve just about seen it all when it comes to long distance. You have the girl who transfers to be with her boyfriend, the couple that […]
All selfishness is not created equal
Nobody wants to be selfish. Selfish is one of the lowest of blows, reserved for only the nastiest of nasty people. As a result, we strive to be the complete opposite. We’re taught our whole lives to be selfless but we’re never taught its dangers. When I think of ‘selflessness,’ I picture Mother Teresa, good […]
Why ‘not all men’ is trash
“Men are trash.” It’s one of my favorite go-to lines. Your man is acting up? Men are trash. Some guy was following you too close for comfort? Trash. Another rape? Murder? Yeah, that’s a big ol’ dumpster of complete garbage. It’s a unifying statement for women all over, but not everyone is on board. In […]
