Over the years, many people in various MAP spaces have written long, detailed, papers and proclamations of what we should be striving for. While those are great to give us a foundation to base our activism on, many don’t have the attention span to read these long proclamations. So I’m making a simple list of
With all the negativity in this world that affects children, I feel so powerless to change anything. That’s why I’ve started the “I Stand With Children” campaign. I was originally inspired to do this because of the war between Israel and Hamas, and all the innocent people caught in the crossfire… I can’t take sides,
I shared the poll about youth charities with a few MAP sites I frequent and got a lot of mixed reaction. I have received a few votes for organizations.

We should also recognize that girls in other parts of the world face even more issues, such
Welp. It looks like it’s time to speak out. I’ve been contemplating how to go about this all day. Desmond Tutu once said, “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” For too long, I’ve defended Newgon and given them a pass even amidst shitty behavior.
