TRIGGER WARNING Assault, abuse, sexual assault Time and time again I talk to people who deny that there is a rape culture in The West. This is because their expectation of what it looks like versus the reality of what it actually is are two…

Slurs are complicated terms for the groups intimately linked to them. Before we dig in too far, let’s start with a definition of the term. ADL defines the word as being, “an insulting, offensive or degrading remark, often based on an identity group such as…

Something has always struck me as deeply unsettling when advocating for human rights. The fact that some individuals see this as an opportunity for debate is deeply disturbing to reflect on. Some people genuinely think speculating on whether or not marginalized groups should have specific…

There’s a stigma around having a “mom bod,” but why? There’s nothing wrong with pregnancy, or delivery, or breastfeeding. Furthermore, there’s nothing wrong with post natal recovery, whatever that looks like physically and emotionally. Shaming others about things they cannot easily change about themselves really…

Be honest, how often have you worried about your likeability? Why do we hold ourselves to a more rigid standard than we hold others? Isn’t it interesting how we can so easily build other people up and tell them all the ways and reasons why…

A term I hear tossed around a lot is ‘critical thinking’. But what exactly does that look like? To start off with, it involves the strengthening of five key skills; communication, open-mindedness, problem-solving, analysis and creativity. As this is a skillset, we can improve and…

TRIGGER WARNING Mass murder, genocide, racism We uncovered the fundamentals of what racism looks like when we say all white people are racist. If you missed the foundational post on this concept, you might want to backtrack before reading on. Now let’s look into predictable reactions…

The whiteness of our world is implied by the lack of addressing it. Have you ever wondered why we call white people ‘white people’ but for every other race we specify where their peoples originated? Why don’t we refer to WP as European-Americans? Or British-Americans?…

TRIGGER WARNING Mass murder, assault, abuse, sexual assault, racism From a purely economic standpoint animals are incredibly expensive to grow. 50% of the world’s antibiotics are used for animals. 91% of deforestation is for animal agriculture.

To be honest, I always hesitate to tell people I’m vegan. That label comes with a lot of incorrect assumptions. It feels similar to telling people I’m a feminist. No one wants to hear it because they hold nothing but negative misconceptions about it. Let’s…

TRIGGER WARNING Ableism No one talks about the ableism involved in how we collectively make fun of Mark Zuckerberg. People often talk about how he’s not human because he “has dead eyes” and “never blinks.” There’s tons of memes equating him to a lizard or…

TRIGGER WARNING Homophobia, assault, abuse, murder, transphobia, misoogynoir, racism Bigots will always respond to new knowledge and ultimately change, from a place of hate and fear.
