Feeling Uncomfortable at Subway Stations is Not OK

I think we can all agree that everyone deserves to feel safe and good in their bodies and where they are at any moment in time. I had a moment today where I did not feel that way. I was told to look around a bus depot with my sister at our local subway station to look for a surprise person for my sister's birthday. It was dark. I was wearing a thin dress. I was chilly. I didn't have my phone or shoes with me. I was not comfortable. And I just think that is so incredibly sad and horrible that I felt so unsafe. Guest Comic by Brittney Sabo

Eventually we found the person we were looking for, our cousin, but multiple times during the search I stated I felt uncomfortable, or we should turn back towards our car and get more instruction. I felt unsafe because I was aware that I was a huge predator to people in that area. Someone could snatch me up very easily and drive away, plus I didn't have resources I needed. 
The point of this post is to share that story with you, my dear readers, but also share that it is so so important to create an atmosphere of safety and kindness for those around us. We can stop the fear that women, people of color, queers, or any other people who are discriminated against may get raped, kidnapped, shot, stabbed, bombed, ect. It starts with a simple hello and evolves into joining together for a common goal to unite in our differences to make this world a better place. 
That is pretty much why I am writing this blog. This is my hello, and a bit more. 
Yesterday my school had a bomb threat as well. Nothing happened, thank goodness, but another example of where many people felt unsafe. At that time I did have my backpack, phone, food, ect. with me so I felt more comfortable. Yet the fact of the matter is, violence was threatened and many were frightened. 
So:
So say hello to someone today, give a complement, spread the feminism. SPREAD THE FEMINISM like really yummy cream cheese. 

Peace out homies

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
