The B-Girl Who Never Was

First I saw her dance, then I saw her name… of course her name is Rachel “Ray”! A name that has become the synonym of culture vulture culture takes on a whole new meaning during the latest Summer Olympics in Paris.  This year’s games just seemed pretentious from the beginning. Maybe because they’re in France?… Starting with the opening ceremonies, […]

How Smartphones Steal Your Thoughts

Picture this. You wake up relaxed, the world is still in silence and your thoughts are your own. You have a list of things you need to do and in your mind, it’s all fresh for a moment. Then your first stretch isn’t to release tension in your joints or to take a moment to verbalize gratitude for life, it’s […]

HOW META BETRAYED CREATORS AND USERS PT. 1

In spite of the rain, folks came out from […]

The Montgomery Bus Boycott had MLK at its leadership. We have… TikTok.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott had figures like MLK and Rosa Parks atop its leadership. The June 1st/Florida boycott has TikTokers and social media “influencers”.  Is this advantageous or detrimental?  Considering most people have social anxiety and won’t even leave their house unless they know every detail of the function in question and even then may not have the willpower to […]

Boycott this, boycott that… # Florida

My biggest concern regarding the boycott is that I’m not sure that raza understands how much longevity a boycott needs to have to be effective. The Montgomery Bus boycott, for example, lasted 7 MONTHS. Is “Raza” ready to hold out long enough to make a compelling change?  What’s gonna happen when those truckers that pledged to not take any more […]
