For Emily

Because you inspire me.

For Emily
Cierra Donnelly

Well, here it is. The article I promised you. An article all about you.

I'm so thankful you let me sit with you on the swings that day in first grade. Can you believe that was almost two decades ago? Since then we have experienced so many things together. Concerts, relationships, late night convos, all nighters, late night Wesco and Mcdonald's runs, and wine nights. You're truly such an amazing friend.

I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so thankful to have someone like you who is brutally honest. If I pick out a haircut or outfit and ask you about it I know that you would be completely honest with me. You're not afraid to hurt my feelings if you know it's in the best interest for me. I love the fact that I can call you at three in the morning and know that you'll be there no matter the circumstances. You make sure to remind me that I have dealt with so many things in my life and that it's okay to reflect on them and feel weak sometimes.

You are undeniably one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. Whether you're chasing the puppies around and screaming or yelling random things at people while we drive past them you never fail to make me laugh. I'm so thankful that I have you whenever I need a laugh. I could be in the worst mood possible (like that day I punched the hole in the door...oops) and know that I can always count on you to turn the situation into a joke.

I also love the deeper, more intellectual side of you. When we sit out in the car and talk for hours because there's just too much happening. I know that I can count on you to be there when I need a realistic point of view. When I need my heads out of the clouds, if you will.

Life can be changed in an instant, but you're the one thing that has always been consistent and for that alone I am grateful.

Thank you for being my best friend. I love you.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
