I'm With Them

Donald, you are not my president.

I'm With Them
newyorker

A few weeks ago I wrote an article titled Regretfully, He Is My President. I wrote about how I will respect Donald Trump as my president no matter how much I dislike him.

Well, I was wrong.

Trump has really, how do you say, goofed up. He's doing a really bad job, like really bad. I refuse to stand with this man for the next four years, because America thought a woman would make too many emotional decisions that would affect our country negatively. Good call you guys. Now we have a president who tweeted at Nordstrom because they stopped carrying his daughter's clothing line, yet is coming up with plans that will extend the time period of the water pipes in Flint, Michigan getting replaced. You know, because they don't have clean water. Everyday, it seems that I'm more and more disappointed in my so-called president. I tried, I really did; I cannot support a man like this. Mr. Trump, I am not with you.

I am with the people that marched on January 21st for the Women's March, the day after the inauguration.

I am with the immigration lawyers who stood at the airport for hours helping Muslims come into the country while you tried to ban them.

I am with Elizabeth Warren who was silenced at a Senate meeting while she read a letter from Loretta Scott King, the late widow of Martin Luther King Jr. It was a letter regarding the nomination of Jeff Sessions, which then proceeded to go live on Facebook to read the letter and said, "they can shut me up, but they can't change the truth."

I am with every member of the senate who voted against Betsy Devos.

I am with Bernie Sanders, who continuously fights against the backwards movement of our country, reminding the young people of America that we have a voice that they are trying to silence.

I am with everyone who still speaks out against the progression of our country moving backwards.

Be with us.

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.

If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
