A Man Stalked and Cornered Me At The Gym

Women can’t even swim without being objectified — A few weeks ago, a man cornered me in the pool at the gym. It was one of the most terrifying things that have ever happened to me in public, and I’m finally ready to write about it. I had just started swimming again in July 2021, after a decade-long…

We Have 7 Days Before We Lose Medication Abortions Permanently

It’s never looked more grim, and we should be terrified — A total ban on abortions could soon be on the horizon in the US. Yes, I mean it. Yes, I’m talking even about the blue states. Yes, I’m talking about even the deep blue states where abortion remains legal and protected. Conservatives have shown that they’re willing to stop at…

Why Do My Views Tank Every Time I Publish An Article?

Is there a method behind the madness? — I’ve been on Medium since 2020, and most of my months here have been good. The first article I published got tons of views and accrued me a good $10 in my first month, which I consider pretty lucky. I’ve only gone up from there. …

Online Dating Is Really Ruining Romance

Should we just go back to the basics? — I’ve been single for seven years now. Each year of my life, that number gets larger, and I wonder when it may ever change. For the better part of that time, I’ve wished I had a partner and yearned for the universe to give me the sweep-me-off-my-feet, meet-cute-sparked, star-crossed love…

This Is The Disturbing Way The Nashville Shooter Got Inside The School

I won’t be able to unsee it — *Trigger warning: this piece discusses gun violence and anxiety in detail. Proceed with caution and take care of yourselves. This is not easy to discuss.

Birth Control Is Not The Enemy, So Stop Pretending It Is

Seriously, campaigning against it is getting old — I’ve lost my patience with anti-birth-control messaging. I used to think it was a phase that would pass. Or, God forbid, some momentary conspiracy that was purposely carried out right after Roe v. Wade’s overturn. Every other video I saw was the same message. Hormonal birth control is poison! Do…

Apparently You Can Have An Abortion Without Even Realizing It

Or at least without admitting the truth — If you’ve ever heard of the Duggar family, you know they are staunch Christians who are openly anti-abortion. And if you haven’t heard of the Duggar family, perhaps your mind will be refreshed when I say they’re the family from the show 19 Kids and Counting. If you still haven’t…

Netflix’s “Perfect Match” Isn’t Sending The LGBTQ-Friendly Message It Thinks It Is

The existence of queer people doesn’t equal inclusivity — Would you be willing to sit down with a bunch of previous dating show stars who never found a match and pick one of them to date every night? Would you engage in a bunch of weird and ultimately meaningless challenges to determine your compatibility? …
