10 Jokes To Laugh At Instead Of Talking About Politics

I really don’t want to talk about politics anymore.

I don’t want to talk about Obama and what he’s done. I don’t want to talk about Hillary or Bernie. And I really don’t want to talk about Trump.

I’m tired of opposing sides and this tug-of-war game where someone is always the loser. I’m not suggesting anyone gives up fighting for their beliefs and loosens the grip on their side of the rope. I really am so proud to live in a country where everyone has such integrity for fighting for what’s right. No matter what side you’re on, the dedication bleeds through.

But I’m still tired. This tug-of-war game really isn’t fun right now, and I for one would like to take a break. I was thinking a week long getaway to an island in the Caribbean, but apparently, I don’t make enough at my college-student job to take the whole country on such a trip.

So here’s what I can offer.

I love jokes. Everyone loves jokes. Republicans love jokes, Democrats love jokes, and everyone in between loves jokes. And if you think you don’t love jokes, you just haven’t heard the right joke yet. Let me see if I can help.

I have compiled some of my all-time favorite jokes in hopes to remind America that there is more to life than a presidential inauguration. I know that sounds pretty naive, but really. I don’t want to diminish the intensity of what the future might hold, however, the future could also potentially be really okay. Like your immediate future, when you read these jokes. Future you is loving them.

(Credit for most of these jokes go to my dad, Greg Fean. I'm not sure where he found them, but he never fails to make me laugh with them, so I'm just passing them on.)

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.
