@God Thanks For Nothing… #whyme

From basketball stars to mixed martial artists, often times athletes point up at the sky in gratitude after scoring an important point or thank Jesus in their after victory interview. I have often heard people say, “Why don’t they blame God if they lose? They can’t have it both ways.” Well, in this age of twitter it seems someone has finally put God in his place… sort of.

I PRAISE YOU 24/7!!!!!! AND THIS HOW YOU DO ME!!!!! YOU EXPECT ME TO LEARN FROM THIS??? HOW???!!! ILL NEVER FORGET THIS!! EVER!!! THX THO…

Rep. Steve King’s Illogical Stance on the 14th Ammendment

If we lived on the planet Vulcan, Rep. Steve King would be shot dead for being illogical. Recently the Iowa congressman said:

Spotlight: Adrienne Maree Brown

One of the most inspiring things to me is seeing someone who is able to step out from the molds that our society places on all of us and be who they really want to be.

Thus, seeing a woman who’s blog describes her as “an organizational healer, pleasure activist, facilitator, singer, and artist living in Detroit,” fills the optimistic part of me with hope.

Toying With Gender

The Mad World blog over at Bitch Magazine had a very interesting, yet equally disturbing, post about toy marketing and how gender roles are pushed on both boys and girls. I know if I have a daughter we will be building space ships with Legos and playing Metal Gear Solid. It makes me so mad to see these commercials limiting girls to taking care of urinating dolls and having epic shopping and makeup adventures.
