The complexities of privilege and language

There has always been a bit of a stir about the idea of privilege. People do not like to acknowledge when they have it. Perhaps it’s because then they have to admit that they don’t deserve it anymore than anybody else. Or maybe it’s because then they have to accept that they shouldn’t have as [...]

Freedom and tyranny in Cuba and the USA

Ah, yes. The United States of America. The Greatest Country on Earth. Bastion of Freedom and Liberty (both); Great Land of Freedom of Speech™. And Cuba. One of the most horrible, wretched countries in the world. All citizens are trapped, and are in poverty. The Evil Devil Dictator (AKA Fidel Castro)

“I don’t want to be a feminist anymore”

“Most of all, I am tired of knowing. Knowing that my eyes have been opened, and that what has been seen cannot be unseen. I am tired of knowing it, when I see something that is wrong. I am tired of knowing that only speaking out can change it. I am tired of knowing exactly [...]

The unsustainability of sustainability politics

**TW: Fetishization of women, racism I lived in Patterson, New Jersey for four months when I was twenty-two. During the time I was there, men* would tell me that I was beautiful an average of ten times a day (though on some days it was as many as twenty). It became apparent fairly early on [...]

Are GM crops necessary? Are they even practical?

Populationism rears its ugly head again

As I have said before: No. There is no overpopulation problem. There’s an over-consumption problem, a racism problem, a blaming-the-poor problem. What countries are responsible for the most environmental damage? The wealthy countries, with low population growth rates. What countries are responsible

Clichés that annoy the living shit out of me (and their translations)

1. “Life isn’t fair.” Translation: “The world sucks. Let’s keep it that way.” 2. “Bleeding-heart“ Translation: “I resent the fact that you’re more empathetic and compassionate than I’ll ever be.” 3. “Tattle-tale“ Translation: “I should be allowed to bully you without any consequences.” 4. “That’s ju
