At some point, the United States is going to have to demand tough consequences for White nationalism, rage, and supremacy.

There should be hard consequences for those who encourage and enable it with their words. It has and always will be more than just rhetoric. It continues to get people killed and it continues to stand in the way of justice being equitably served.

More than anything, there needs to be even harder consequences on those who take those words and act on them.

And here we are, at another standstill trying to figure out how to process another racially-motivated…

I moved to Colorado and I told everyone that I couldn’t wait to get away. Maybe it’s the politics or the heat. Okay, it’s probably the heat, but after living in the South and seeing what else the country had to offer, there was a little voice in the back of my head that kept telling me it was time to pack up and leave.

My fiancèe found a job that she wanted and we did just that. We left and thought we wouldn’t look back.

I didn’t think that I’d get homesick, but I did, and it snuck up…

I sometimes think to myself that I can’t wait until we can get back to a place where going to a restaurant doesn’t feel like a life or death situation. When you’re stuck inside, you have so much more time to fantasize about what life will be like when we get the chance to safely go to concerts, Top Golf, and travel again without being stuck wearing masks.

It’s been a year since the Covid-19 pandemic forced millions of Americans into lockdown. At first it felt like no big deal. We believed we would easily find a solution that would…

Before I even start, you already have a running list of restaurants that have a foothold in your memories. You can literally taste their food despite having not stepped in any of these places in years. Some of them don’t even exist anymore, but when they did, business was booming. We packed them out and they felt like a real part of our yearly routine.

Sleep. Wake Up. Pencil in one of these places sometime during the month. Repeat.

Without a shadow of a doubt, there are some very fond reminders of the old days where we were arguably (and…

I’m not going to lie to you. I groaned the second I found out that WandaVision was going to be released…weekly. I, like so many other people, had been starved for Marvel content that was new and fresh and something that I could run through.

After all, during the pandemic, that’s what many of us had gotten used to. Television has largely become microwaveable. Nothing like a good weekend binge to make you lose the memory of the past work week and give you something to talk about for a few days on Twitter or Facebook.

That was only accelerated…

We’re told we need to go to college to learn how to enter an industry to make money for ourselves. At the same time, college is becoming increasingly more expensive and less affordable. There are so many of us who didn’t have trust funds to rely on or the option of leaning on a scholarship. Many of us have struggled because we had to support ourselves while simultaneously managing to graduate.

In addition to all of this, getting an internship is a step of the college journey that’s practically forced down our throats. If we don’t get one, the chances…

Any way you slice it, the thought of parenthood comes with a lot of anxiety. Sure, the miracle of life seems like a worthy trade off, but entering that world comes with so many what ifs. Even the conversations you have about it are nerve racking when they transition from the immature fantasies that used to seem lightyears away to the real and open discussions about it you have with your partner.

People always say that you’re never ready to bring a child into the equation and to just do it. I hear that a lot. …
