Women's Work Hidden by Patriarchy and Capitalism: Honoring Historical Craftsmanship Contributions
We exist in a time when the gender pay gap is expanding. Recent studies indicate that women earn less than men, and the pandemic has exacerbated the pay gap in various nations. This disparity continues because there are fewer women in high-paying leadership roles and because women predominantly work in lower-paying industries. Yet, there are even more subtle and harsh reasons contributing to the gender pay gap. Historically, women’s work has been undervalued, resulting in unequal pay for comparable jobs between genders. Although this practice is gradually decreasing, it still exists.

Călin Georgescu: Messiah, Puppet, or Convenient Scapegoat?
The fine art of political character assassination. It seems Călin Georgescu has graduated from candidate to caricature in record time. The critique above overflowing with accusations, conjectures, and a pinch of paranoia paints him as everything from his wife’s puppet to a relic of Cold War diplomacy. How delightfully convoluted. Let’s unpack this masterpiece of projection and pot-shots with the sarcasm and wit it so richly deserves.

Educational Institutes Leave American Citizens UnEducated
I watched a video today that made me have the ugliest epiphany. I remember my history teacher in middle school getting irate with me. Because I corrected him. I remember an argument where several people of color called me a 'fucking white lying racist bitch,' and verbally assaulted me because I corrected them too. Because they were wrong. I knew they were wrong. But I didn't understand that I was the only one in a sea of people where only a handful of us knew the truth.

"Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck - Book Review
What I liked about it... I was surprised by how much the book "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck resonated with me. When I was in high school I read "The Grapes of Wrath." I really disliked that book at that point in my development and it felt like a large waste of time. However, after reading of "Of Mice and Men," it really struck me in a powerful way.
