So I just read my University's newspaper cover to...
and it is one of the most offensive things I’ve ever read. Seriously. There is a column in there called “On the Prowl,” written each week by the Super Snatch Brothers. You can’t make this shit up. In all fairness, there were about three good articles in there, and half a dozen harmless ones, but when you print an article that begins with the phrase, “Alright boys: Now...
Woman: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Woman: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Woman: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
Woman: Well, why can't I have birth control?
Government: Because. Sex isn't for recreation.
Woman: It can help regulate my period and benefit me in other ways.
Government: Too bad.
Man: For no reason other than for recreational sex, may I have birth control?
Government: Do you have a penis?
Man: YES, YES I DO!!
Government: WELL HOWDY, VALID CITIZEN. You can buy condoms by the dozens. Here, here's a pack of special condom for "His Pleasure." Oooh, these come in different colours and flavours. Here, try these. They have ribs on them. And this one glows in the dark!! LOL OMG DICK LIGHTSABER!!
Government: But seriously, you're a man. You can do what ever you want.
Woman: But-
Government: Shut up, you sinning, freeloading hussy.

In a timely contribution to the ongoing discussion of CBS’ casting choice of Lucy Liu as Dr. Watson on the new series Elementary, our guest contributor Athena pulls no punches, trying to understand why a very important question is not being raised.
I’m angry. I had a bad day this week and it’s smoldering in the back of my brain. When CBS announced...

1) Get enough sleep
Lack of sleep (less than 7 hours, for most people) is well known to produce irritability, moodiness, and decreased concentration and productivity in the average person. Given our already ramped-up senses, I’m convinced that lack of sleep can make a highly sensitive life almost unbearable. Getting enough sleep soothes your senses and...

An essay by Dessa on sexism/racism in hip-hop (taken from her facebook page):
“…I received an email recently from a reporter who asked, “Isn’t it an exercise of artistic license and freedom of speech for rappers to call females ‘bitches’ and ‘hoes?’” My answer follows. Rappers can say ‘bitch’ and ‘ho.’ They can say ‘faggot.’ Rappers—like artists working in most...

I’ve had this horrible message I received on facebook, saying horrible things about someone I care a lot about, floating around in my head for the past week or so.
Apparently, there’s this notion that having relationships, having a job, speaking at rallies, goofing around with...
white men & a black woman's intelligence

A white guy on Tumblr said he feels sorry for people who think I’m intelligent. I didn’t respond to it at the time but I kept thinking about it. It was weird reading that because I’ve come along way with what I think about whites and their white opinions. I was like, I ain’t care bruh.
The last thing I need is for a holy white man to think I’m intelligent....
