The Unwarranted Hatred of Introverts and the Egos Behind It
Itâs 2025, and weâre still seeing videos popping up in recommended feeds, videos that throw shade at introverts. Iâll be the first to admit, I was taken aback by thisâbecause, letâs be real, what the hell is going on?

I Have No Enemies: A Reflection on Radical Empathy and Compassion
“I have no enemies.” This quote from Vinland Saga echoed through my mind recently when I stumbled upon it in a video by Brittany Simon. Brittany used it to reflect on how many so-called progressives, especially progressive men, harbor vitriol and hatred toward those they consider their enemies. It struck a chord with me because,Continue reading “I Have No Enemies: A Reflection on Radical Empathy and Compassion”
The Ridiculous, Deranged Argument Against “My Body, My Choice”
Iâm honestly just shocked by the audacity of the argument presented by Irami Osei-Frimpong in his clip, âMy Body; My Choice is a Bad Argument.â Itâs not only an insult to women, but itâs a deeply ignorant and, frankly, unhinged take on bodily autonomy.

The songs are, in their own weird,Continue reading “How the Songs in One Piece Film: Red by Ado Are Weirdly Revolutionary”
The Paradox of Care: How You Can Be Both Seemingly Apathetic and Deeply Compassionate
Itâs a strange thing, this paradox of human behavior where someone can appear indifferent, annoyed, or even cold, and yet beneath that surface, feel a profound sense of care and connection. On the outside, it might look like youâre disengaged from the world, irritated by the people around you, or simply unwilling to invest emotionalContinue reading “The Paradox of Care: How You Can Be Both Seemingly Apathetic and Deeply Compassionate”
