I’ve (Finally) Sorted My Stories

Filled with tea and anxiety — I’m just your average newbie writer on Medium who is obsessed with true crime, cats, and Mortal Kombat. My writings range from personal stories to research-based rants. I’m still figuring out what my “theme” is in terms of writing, so for now, I’ve just decided to write about whatever is…

Abused and Murdered Thanks to a Broken System — I’m not sure about you guys, but I am sick and tired to death of how sex workers are treated in this country. Sex workers are human beings who are trying to earn a living just like everyone else. So then, why does society view them as dirty, uneducated heathen…

Haven’t We Suffered Enough? — I’ve been debating for weeks now on whether to write this article. I’m not entirely sure why, though. Maybe it was out of concern that people would roll their eyes and think, “Oh, here’s another angry black woman ranting about life being unfair to people of color!” …

And wow…. they really did that, huh? — (Trigger warning: death and dead bodies) In all my years on the Internet, this was the very first time I saw dead bodies on my screen. “Mortified” would be an understatement for how I felt looking at those pictures. People with their hands tied behind their backs were shot in…

My god, are they some dumb mofos — Usually, I stay away from arguments with right-wingers; it’s seldom worth the headache.
