Black Lives Matter is a White People Problem

In the past couple of weeks, like many people, I’ve become more aware and conscious of my white privilege. I always knew it was there, but I felt uncomfortable thinking about it. The death of George Floyd and its aftermath has made me rethink my position as a white person in society. We deserve to… Continue reading Black Lives Matter is a White People Problem

My New Year diet: no social media.

No Facebook. No Twitter. No Snapchat. No Instagram. It's no secret that social media is to people born from 1994 onwards what the radio is to people born in the 30s. What TV is to people born in the 60s. A necessity, in other words. But is it really? My nosy self decided to find… Continue reading My New Year diet: no social media.

An unconventional Transformation Tuesday

A few months ago I made a slight change to my diet and the consequences were amazing. The best part? I didn't do it expecting these results. Okay, now I've reeled you in by sounding like a fake advert, let me tell you what I'm taking about. So yes, a few months ago I ditched… Continue reading An unconventional Transformation Tuesday

The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye.

I’m not a person who likes to read ‘theory.’ I’m not upper class - I don’t need somebody telling me about the struggles people face in society, because I either experience them first-hand or witness them first-hand. I didn’t need Karl Marx to tell me that wealth needs redistributing (though it was nice to discover… Continue reading The Transgender Issue by Shon Faye.

#FreeBritneyAgain? How did we get here?

The Free Britney movement was at it’s most prominent in summer of 2021 when Britney’s 13 year conservatorship came to an end. Britney thanked her fans in court and in her first few social media posts after the hearing. She shared videos of her flying in a plane and driving her car - two things… Continue reading #FreeBritneyAgain? How did we get here?

Yes, p*rn is cheating. But that’s the least unethical thing about it!

“Do you think porn is cheating?” It’s almost became an ice-breaker in today’s society to ask this. Some think that if you say yes you are too jealous, some think that if you say no you’re too laid back. It’s a debate you never really win with. It’s also a really boring debate ignoring the… Continue reading Yes, p*rn is cheating. But that’s the least unethical thing about it!

The worst part about being a vegan

What do you miss the most now you're vegan? Oh I don't know, probably not having strangers fake concerned about my nutritional needs being met! So that's what I miss the most. But what's the worst part of being vegan? The worst part about being vegan is when someone finds out you're vegan and for… Continue reading The worst part about being a vegan

A late diagnosis

I've spent my life being called forgetful, clumsy, careless, random (xD), distracting... I've spent my life being told to slow down, to sit down, to stop fidgeting, to finish what I've started... Each time someone said any of these to me I felt a pinch of sadness because none of it was intentional. Do you… Continue reading A late diagnosis

The loss of a loved one

Losing a loved one feels like complete numbness and experiencing every emotion at the same time. It feels like you too have died, but at the same time you’ve never felt so alive, so human. I feel like I’ve been hit by a car but at the same time the pain is tolerable. It’s tolerable… Continue reading The loss of a loved one
