Prior to the confirmation hearing of Betsy DeVos, I contacted my state senator, Pat Toomey to express my extreme opposition to DeVos as Secretary of Education. After calling his office, leaving several messages, signing petitions in opposition to DeVos, and emailing his office, I finally got a response. I would say it is a littleContinue reading “Thank you Senator Toomey for Your Alternate Facts”

I am very excited to share that I wrote an article for the Mid-Atlantic Association of College and University Housing Officers (MACUHO) and it was selected for their edition of the “2017 Winter Magazine.” Check me out on page 13 of the magazine here 

Foreword The following post will contain information, pictures, and resources that may be uncomfortable to some. Please be aware this post talks about sexual assault. While I will provide my own thoughts, feelings, and understandings of sexual assault, please note that these are mine and mine alone.

I am very pleasantly surprised and pleased. Pornhub is stepping up their game! Rather than porn being sex education, they have created the “Pornhub Sexual Wellness Center” (PSWC). PSWC offers a variety of topics from consent, to erotic positions for lesbian sex, to trans 101, and issues around intimacy. I hope that the site continueContinue reading “Pornhub wants to be the hottest destination for sex ed”

I found this BuzzFeed article to be a little sexist, but I think there are some good points that are brought up around a lack of knowledge. I think as a country we do a terrible job of educating our youth about anatomy–I would argue that most individuals are not taught about their own anatomy.Continue reading “17 Completely Incorrect Assumptions About The Female Body”

Since the election of Trump, a number of people now feel justified to say or do anything to marginalized groups. I am concerned for the safety of so many people. I have friends of different ethnic backgrounds, races, countries of origin, religions, social class, gender identities, gender expressions, ability statuses, and a plethora of otherContinue reading “What #TrumpAmerica Means to Me”

January 20, 2017, the Texas Supreme Court has agreed to hear a case that would halt same-sex spousal benefits. I originally came across the story via Facebook but did some research and found a few different sources for the story. We are already seeing a resurgence in conservative values that are starting to infringe onContinue reading “Texas court hearing case to limit gay marriage legalization”

In his short five days in office, Trump has signed a number of Executive Orders (EO) and sources say he plans to sign many more. Part of his EOs aim at cutting programs that rely of public funding and your tax dollars. Here is the list of agencies effected: Corporation for Public Broadcasting National EndowmentContinue reading “President Trump Wants to Kill These 17 Federal Agencies and Programs.

I came across this article and was really upset for the author of this post. I have personally avoided gay themed excursions for the very same fears of body/fat shaming. I feel there are a lot of impossible body standards that are placed on men and just like the author of this post, they makeContinue reading “Fat Shaming in the Gay Male Community”

I feel like the constantly battle for masculinity and femininity is getting a bit tiresome. I would like to see a society where we are focused less on someone’s gender expression as being too masculine or too feminine and we are more concerned for valuing the person’s choice of expression. I think the underlying problemContinue reading “Mother Loses Custody Of 13-Year-Old Son Because He Is “Too Effeminate””
