An Open Letter To Tomi Lahren
Pintrest

Dear Tomi Lahren,

I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you don't think that you deserve the respect that millions of women around the world are fighting for you to have. I'm sorry that you feel that the women that are fighting and marching for you are wasting their time. I'm sorry that you firmly believe that women are, for some reason, less than. I'm sorry that you were raised to believe that we aren't allowed to have a voice.

I'm sorry that you believe that you're opinion shouldn't be disputed. I'm sorry that you believe that you're "holier than thou" attitude is not only correct, but preferable. I'm sorry that you're making a living being the stereotypical "angry woman" and perpetuating the stereotype that is so incredibly harmful to this society. I'm sorry that you're going to die of high blood pressure before you're 30. I'm sorry you have to use your incredible intelligence to make the rest of us look like floundering idiots. (In the same vain, I'm sorry that the worst insults you can come up with are "snowflakes" and "crybabies" with how intelligent you are.)

I'm sorry that you're unable to see that the "election" of our... President was anything but fair and free. I'm sorry that you believe that Muslims are the enemy, rather than the dangerous ego of the White Man. I'm sorry that you fail to see your privilege. I'm sorry that you probably never will see how harmful you are to the world. I'm sorry that you believe that a piece of fabric that symbolizes the fake freedom in this country is more important than the livelihood of real Americans that deserve respect. I'm sorry that you believe the right to carry a lethal piece of metal is more important than protecting the lives of people that don't.

I'm sorry that this is a letter that I have to write. I'm sorry that you're unable to see to see the point of our fight. Im sorry that you feel you're unable to be apart of it. I'm sorry that we may never see eye-to-eye, but I do hope that some day we can.


Sincerely,

A Snowflake Without a President

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
