A fruit can only produce so much juice. The rind and seeds thrown away.
Petals are plucked simply because some think that they aren't meant to be there.
What wonders would emerge from the Earth if juiceless plants were allowed to flourish?
Last week, John Davidson ticced the N-word while actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage at the EE BAFTA Film Awards. I'd like to take a moment to share my thoughts and experiences as a Black woman with Tourette Syndrome.
On February 26, 1,800 transgender, intersex, Two-Spirit, and nonbinary residents of the state of Kansas lost their drivers’ licenses with just hours of notice due to a new law passed by the Republican legislature. This is the latest effort to criminalize trans people in the United States.
My right leg had swollen to three times its size, the towel under me was damp with blood, and a cop was at my window talking about a ticket. My then-partner said to the state trooper: “She is having a miscarriage and just tore her ACL.” The trooper gave us a choice: he could call an ambulance to the local hospital or write a speeding ticket.
