What World Do We Live In?

Why we need to come together in time of tragedy

What World Do We Live In?

The world we live in is cruel. It is evil. It is unforgiving and unfair. We witness to much tragedy, and to much blood shed on our own soil. The world we live in is not a nice one, but we wish it was. Parents wish they didn't have to worry about the safety of their children as they walk out of the door. People in general wish they didn't have to worry about their loved ones as we explore, and see different things in life.

What I do wish is in this time of complete distress, that America, communities, and human beings come together to fight back evil. Fight for our right to live in peace, and without a mass shooting almost everyday. In this time of need I hope we choose the right officials, and president to lead us to a solution to this terrible problem. I hope in the future what we do find is a reason to why people do this. A solution to why people do this. And help to all the family and friends who have already lost someone to this uncontroble violenece.

This may be one of my shortest articles I've writen, but there are only a few words to describe what is effecting our country.

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.
