Remember That Time…
…That Melissa Harris-Perry spent two segments on a subject I had been thinking about earlier that week? Seriously, take some time from your obviously important and busy life to watch three really smart girls aged 17 to 19 talk about feminism and other things that affect young women with another extremely smart woman who happens … Continue reading
Young People Have Voices
Dear National American Media, quit talking about me like I’m not here. You keep saying things about how students feel and about the youth vote and…talking to old people who supposedly know so much about young people. If you really value expert opinions SO MUCH, why the hell don’t you get up and ask some … Continue reading
Amendment One: The Real Story
This is Jacob. We did theatre together when we both were in high school. He was really awesome then, I must say. Right now, he’s walking from Greensboro, NC to Raleigh, NC to try to draw even more attention to the important ballot measure that’s being voted on this Tuesday. He’s truly amazing now. Amendment … Continue reading
Party in Flux
[A website asked me to try writing something for them, and I did. Now they aren’t responding to me, so I’m posting it here. Read on!] George W. Bush left office, and the Republican Party kinda said “Syanara!” No one wanted to be associated with Mr. Bush or with the missteps he made while he … Continue reading

Some things just aren’t as black and white as they seem. I think this should be obvious to most people, but from the perspective of someone who is a child, who until very recently was still living under her parent’s roof and still relies on her parents for tuition, money for food/clothes/extras/etc. Neither Mr. Rosen … Continue reading
Santorum & Romney & Conventions, Oh My! [Primary Musings]
All of the punditry and the talking head jabber about the Republican primary has been WRONG, just flat out wrong. A few have admitted it, but most are just slowly evolving their opinions – as if that makes it so they weren’t wrong. I’m totally among them in some cases. But the truth of the … Continue reading
NC Gubernatorial Race
[I’m trying to recommit to not ignoring the blog. Only you can judge if its working or not, since…you know, I’m busy and stuff.] — Considering I grew up in NC, it seems only logical that I have at least a minor fascination with state and local politics there. With much of the Wake County … Continue reading
Still Not Dead.
I’d post the text of this one, but it’s mostly about school-specific stuff and hence, is boring to you all.
Irked about Contraception
If one thing has bugged me recently, its the way this contraception argument has been covered in the media. It mischaracterizes Catholic women, and it proves that whatever gender equality we supposedly have has not yet infiltrated Capitol Hill or the mainstream media. Congress. The pundits. Obama himself. It’s a whole bunch of dudes talking … Continue reading
I’m Legit!
I’m so legit I’m published in the real world! If you read this because you know me (or know of me, or are friends with someone and you’re trolling their facebook/twitter friends) and happen to be a student at Marymount Manhattan College – you need to pick up the issue of The Monitor that came … Continue reading
