The Collapse of a Climate Mascot:
Let’s not act like this came out of nowhere. Greta Thunberg was always a symbol first. The world put a teenager on the global stage and decided she was the solution to a crisis rooted in decades of corporate corruption, policy decay, and public inertia.

What Comes After Exposure? Reclaiming Memory and Repair
It starts with a spark—a documentary, a conversation, a sudden reckoning. Maybe someone posts about stolen African artifacts sitting in European museums, or you read that the wealth of a global power was built on slave labor. At first, it feels like outrage. But soon, a deeper question emerges:

MAGA Fatigue
The 2024 U.S. presidential election has led to increasing disappointment among Americans who backed Donald Trump because they expected his promises of economic growth and law enforcement and American greatness. The base of Trump supporters now experiences deep regret about their support because his administration's policies have produced results that cannot be denied. The initial enthusiasm for Trump has transformed into deep frustration and anger and feelings of betrayal because his second term has exceeded all expectations of chaos and division and damage.

Australians are now living an average of a decade longer than we were just ten years ago, with women benefiting the most from this increase in life expectancy, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics' report, Life Expectancy. While this is a remarkable achievement and something we often celebrate, it comes with a sobering reality: our standard of living has significantly declined. Although we may be living longer, many are living lives far poorer than they had envisioned - something the media rarely addresses openly.

Europe’s Amnesia: How the West Remembers What It Wants, and Forgets What It Must
Europe has mastered the art of remembrance — just not for everyone.

Signed and Resigned
I just need enough to be solvent, but that may be hard without rescinding this letter and sacrificing my sanity To those reading my resignation while casually pushing policies that are supposed to impact our work culture, but they never do, I hope you find this letter. I seriously hope that after finding this letter you read it too.

The Invention of Whiteness: How Race Was Manufactured to Divide and Rule
When we talk about race, it often feels like we’re speaking about something ancient and immutable. But the truth is more unsettling: race, especially the category of “whiteness,” is a modern invention — designed not by biology, but by power.

Buried Brilliance: How Global Knowledge Was Erased to Elevate the West
When we’re taught the origins of science, mathematics, and philosophy, the names sound familiar — Aristotle, Newton, Galileo, Descartes. European. Male. Genius. But what if I told you that this “lineage of brilliance” is not just incomplete — it’s a deliberate fiction?
