My Burnout is Not Your Burnout, But We All Burn Out

Published: September 2, 2019

I remember sitting in my college apartment bedroom, hanging out with friends and feeling like I was looking in from the outside. We were having a politically-driven, intellectual discussion that on any other day I would’ve loved to take part in. But all I could think about was how nice it would be to lay […]

Ways We Have Internalized Misogyny

Published: December 19, 2018

Patriarchal values and expectations pervade all aspects of our society – from our laws to our culture. But while these values are rooted in patriarchy, women too play an integral role in the preservation of misogynistic cultural norms and social practices.

Feminism, Past and Present: an Interview With My Mom

Published: December 11, 2018

A few months ago at a restaurant in downtown Indianapolis, my family got together for dinner with some friends from out of town who had come for a yoga retreat. Between discussing gong meditation and diving into our burgers, I brought up the fact that I was excited for the upcoming Ruth Bader Ginsburg special. […]

One of the first things I learned about Kavanaugh after his nomination was that there was an extremely real possibility that, […]

Published: September 28, 2018

I’ve been pretty upset the past few weeks as I’ve seen my family, friends, and professors justify the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. Many have excused his alleged actions because he was drunk and young. Neither of those are excuses for committing sexual violence, and it is incredibly disappointing to see people I care […]
