For my last post I think it’s important to hit on the importance of Pride Month. For so long being apart of the LGBTQ+ community has been frowned upon and it’s so important that we make the effort as a society to be inclusive and have open arms to those who are apart of the …

The Dark Side of K-Pop
I am actually an avid listener of K-Pop, more specifically BTS.I think they’re music is great and the message of their brand is really important. Their music, while being catchy and upbeat and easy to dance to, also has messages of dealing with abuse, fighting for the LGBTQ+ community and other big issues. On the …
Protecting the Kids
I have recently made a lot of posts about abortion, I promise this is the last one about it. I’ve had this thought for awhile and it feels appropriate to say it now. The basis of being pro-life is to protect life, that’s quite literally the name. It’s to protect kids, protect life of those …

Instead of doing all the right things, like expressing his sadness for the tragedy, …
Joe Biden Controversy
It seems we have another politician being throw under for an alleged inappropriate behavior. This controversy seems particularly interesting since Biden had just recently declared his interest in running for the presidency in 2020. It seems odd to me that this controversy is because of behavior classified as “unwanted touching“. Not that I believe any …
Notre Dame Leggings, A Mom’s Hostility, and Women’s Empowerment
It’s so peculiar to me that in an era where body positivity and the Me Too movement are so prevalent, there are still some people uncomfortable with women wearing, acting, and speaking how they want. It saddens me knowing that we still feel the need to put other women down for choices they make with …
