Trump went to Mexico, and you can guess how it went

I'm just going to get into it.

Trump went into Mexico, and it was a disaster for his campaign.

The first time he's ever met a foreign dignitary comes on the outset of some truly bombastic rhetoric that has made the demagogue famous all over the campaign trail (i.e. building a wall, calling Mexicans drug dealers and rapists, saying he would deport all undocumented immigrants, the list goes on and on).

What strikes me as a bit strange is how Trump said that he never raised discussion about the payment of the wall, something that the Mexican president, Enrique Pena Nieto, was quick to refute. The dignitary stated that yes, they did talk about the cost of the wall, and that he made it quite clear that Mexico wouldn't pay.

The Clinton campaign was quick to say that Trump choked, by not pressing any of the issues that he had vocalized so much about, and that he had been beat in the room, which is rough for the quality of his prowess as a businessman.

I think that this is just another example of Trump and his inadequacy. Honestly, we've all heard the countless true narratives, and today we're just regaled with another tale of idiocy.

We have a choice in November. Make the right one.

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.
