The door on the side of the building into Bitch Media’s headquarters is always locked. For those who would like to go inside, the little haphazardly-taped sign on the door instructs “FEDEX, UPS, USPS + ANYBODY ELSE PLEASE RING THE DOORBELL.” The only way to tell that a powerful feminist publication resides on the second floor of the building is from the small metal sign with “bitch” inscribed. Before Gamergate, a series of personal attacks on female game developers, and the vandalism of the Bitch offices, Bitch’s door would have remained open and unlocked for anyone wanting to use Bitch’s lending library. Now, the staff at Bitch Media cannot take their personal safety for granted. They make sure that there are no obvious markings that might lead to unwanted attention; I parked in front of what Siri told me was the headquarters and walked around the whole building twice before spotting the entrance.

When I was growing up, kids generally did not monitor what words and phrases they used every day. All through middle school and high school, it was very common to hear phrases like, “You’re so stupid!” or “You are such an idiot!” While these phrases don’t seem to be horrible language, the effect they have on the receiver can be devastating. Reading about it in this chapter really brought that message home to me. Looking back, I know there were occasions when my mom said to me, “That was so stupid of you.” I totally shut down and stopped listening to them. I used to get into arguments with my mom about how she called me stupid and she would emphatically stress that she did not call “me” stupid, she said that the action I “did” was stupid! She used to tell me there was a difference, but I did not get it; now I get it. As the receiver, I heard the word “stupid” and immediately stopped listening because of the word choice. The message to me was ambiguous and I misinterpreted it. If my mom had used an “I statement” instead of a “you statement,” approach, I would not have felt like such a failure and stopped listening to her. A lot of arguments could have been avoided simply by her rephrasing her statement to something like, “I am so frustrated

This is going to be a lengthy one, and also my last for the weekend. Thank god right? Rose, you know this is a pain for me. Texting isn't my thing, but I much rather go through this then see you suffer another semester of US Hist.

The great Netflix pricing debacle. I remember it like it was yesterday. The minute I received that email stating that the prices were going up, I immediately canceled my subscription. It is amazing how far they have come since then. Eventually, I made my way back to Netflix. There have been times when I have contemplated canceling my subscription, but there is always a new documentary or original series that pops up. My one pet peeve is that they are constantly removing titles that my son just so happens to love. That leads to a very disgruntled four year old.

I have yelled, whispered, written and even thought this simple sentence a million times in my life. For as long as I could remember, I've always hated reading.

Many people think that being poor is a bad thing. After all, they don’t have any money and have to eat scraps for dinner. In the United States, being poor isn’t that bad. What many people don’t know is that there are several programs out there to help out those in need. For example, there is Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, and WIC just to name a few. Government programs first came around when the great depression hit. The government was overwhelmed by families needing food, clothing, and shelter. Franklin Roosevelt “New Deal” was to provide work relief for the millions of unemployed Americans. Federal money was given to the state to pay for public work which employed people. In 1935, Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act which also established a national welfare system and unemployment insurance. Since then many other programs have developed and provided many people with the basic necessities of life. Just like David in David and Goliath, many do

Hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and earthquakes are natural disasters that people must deal with. Most people never ponder about how these disasters come to be. If one ever took a moment to read mythology, they would understand the meanings behind these natural disasters. In Greek mythology, some important lessons are do not be too cocky, do not be selfish and listen wisely to your parents.

Their might be a reason to fight but not all the time . You need to know when the right time is . But you might always get in trouble with someone.

A white elephant is a term used to describe a possession that an owner cannot get rid of, whose initial cost and cost of maintenance far exceeds its actual usefulness. There are certain facilities that fit very accurately the description of a “white elephant”; they are called Olympic Stadiums. When it comes time to elect a country to hold the Olympic Games, many countries will raise their hand with the shimmering mirage of grand prosperity radiating in their eyes. Countries who can barely afford to stay afloat decide to launch all of their money into an Olympic Stadium, but what is the long-term impact? There is a moment in time where the alleged wealth associated to the money spent to build and host a venue for the Olympic Games settles down

Jesus Christ is the Creator of the universe and everything in it. Not only did he live and minister in ways that affirm it, The holy scriptures prove that Jesus is the creator God.

Well ahead of the season, you should start getting your emergency kit together. The basics that

Doesn’t everyone need at least one piece of advice? It could be as little as something like using your brilliant little head, or just challenge yourself at anything that is complex. Everyone needs a light to follow and someone to help them in a certain way. If I could give anyone some advice, I would actually give it to myself in the future. I would tell myself to be magnificent in school, never give up, and don’t be a jerk to anyone.

We all can agree that there are those days we tend to be incredibly lazy. For me, those days are an everyday cycle. I pretend I need to go to the bathroom to avoid having to clear up the dishes at the end of dinnertime, I might hide if I knew my parents needed help cleaning up the yard, I still throw my things under my bed to make it look like I had cleaned my room, and even in school I secretly play games on my chromebook, to avoid classwork, while acting as if I knew what it was the teacher was teaching in class that day. To be honest, I’ve never been very good at doing things I don’t want to do, even if they are quite easy. I still leave my clothes on the floor because for some reason putting them away is just too much effort. The thing

Everyone does gender without thinking about it. I remember talking about how in our culture, we listen to a lot of music where women are perceived as “bitches”. I thought about this, and how I do this without even knowing, unconscious of how I am influencing and enforcing these labels on women. Most of my favorite rappers have at one point referred to women as “bitches”, and even though some of them use them to categorize a certain type of woman and not all, it is still labeling her. I also remembered when Sutphin brought up one of the most disturbing questions I have ever heard, “So at what age will she become a bitch?” Or something along those lines. My initial thought to his question was what the f**k was Sutphin thinking? but then I actually listened to his question, unlike what I do with most rap lyrics, and realized what he was asking.
