Last night was the first presidential debate that put Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump behind podiums and let them hash it out on various issues.

Denial of All Things Unseen is Caucasity at Work

I think that to not believe in a higher power or the universe being connected or energy or spirits or whatever science says it cannot prove, is truly an Anglo Saxon trait and privilege (?). It’s eurocentrism. It’s Westernized blindness. It’s Caucasity at work. I don’t think it is a …

Whose Baby is This? Why is It Already Sick of Our Shenanigans

I’ve featured wise babies on here before. I especially love the one I’ve lovingly dubbed Jebidiah. They’re the mini humans who are brand spanking new but they show up with an attitude, like they’ve been here before and are tired that we still didn’t get ourselves together. Ol’ judgey newborns. I …

The GOP Candidates Debate Entrance Fail is a Gift

All we have in this world of sin and frustrating election season is the ability to laugh at the absurdity of it all. None of this shit makes sense, and at this point, I’m almost convinced that we’re all being Punk’d. But knowing we’re not makes me wanna sit on …

So I Watched the Democratic Debate (#DemDebate)
