The Soul-Crushing Feeling of Having a Bad Job

A work horror story. — It’s been just over a year since I wrote my last article about working, and a lot has changed since then. For one, I have changed jobs. Unfortunately, January 2022 me had no idea just how maddening this job would become by the end of the year, or how desperate…

Without abortion, I wouldn’t be here.

My mom always wanted four kids. She got two: my brother in 1995 and me in 1999. Between the earthly debut of my sibling and I, however, something happened. I never got the full story until very recently, but in snippets of overheard conversation throughout my life, I learned two…

Giving Greens Another Chance

This African American staple food has been avoided by me for years — until now. — Greens. Go to any household on any given Sunday in the South, and you’re sure to find a pot slow-boiling on the stove for Sunday dinner. Collards. Mustards. Turnips. Whatever the variety, they’ll be there, along with one or two neckbones, seasoned to perfection to give them that signature flavor…

So if I give birth, I could just…die?

As a Black woman in America, it's unfortunately possible. — It was a cold, rainy Wednesday morning during the second semester of my sophomore year of college when my fellow sophomores and I filed into the basketball practice gym of our school. As part of the humanities courses we were required to take that year, we had to participate in…

After six months, does this Gen Z-er still dream of labor?

It's been six months since I've started my new job. Do I still stand by what I said? — It's been six very short months since I started working at my very first full-time job, and about the same time since I wrote an article detailing why finding employment was so important to me. In that article, I stated my desperation to finally find a job and properly begin…

My 2021 Letterboxd Roundup

I saw a lot of movies last year — some were fantastic, and some were just okay. Last year was full of dramatic lows and hopeful highs, and through it all, movies were the one constant I could count on. My friend convinced me to join the movie reviewing site…

Spanish Moss and Friendly Ghosts

Revisiting a local folk legend from my childhood. — For a brief period when I was in the second grade, I was deathly terrified of ghosts. It all started when one of my classmates, Elizabeth was her name, brought in a book by local author Kathryn Tucker Windham called 13 Alabama Ghosts and Jeffrey. I didn’t have to read…

These Photographers Have Made Big Money From Their Art

Art is subjective — but the monetary values these pictures have gained is not. — I recently started a new job, and while I do have a lot of New Job Things to do, I also have a fair bit of downtime. One day, during this downtime, I decided to go on Wikipedia to read about various topics involving cameras and photography. I’m a videographer…

Do People Not Pay Attention to Politics Because the System Benefits Them?

The answer wasn’t as simple as I thought. — I will admit: politics wasn’t something I paid attention to before college. My parents are news-watchers, so in the mornings before school, I’d see the goings-ons of the national and international political players and have no real opinion of them. I was a kid; I didn’t have much reason to…

Surprise — This Gen Z-er DOES dream of labor.

For some, it’s our only way out. — Recently, there’s been a wave of videos to pop up on YouTube of various people stating that they don’t have dream jobs because they don’t “dream of labor”. I resisted watching them because the concept as a whole kinda rubbed me the wrong way — to me, it seems this…
