How Conservatives Lie About Intersectionality

A month ago I decided to read the original Kimberlé Crenshaw piece which coined the term “intersectionality” and while the piece itself changed a lot of my worldview, what were perhaps most surprising were the conversations I had with friends about it.

Agile Methodology is Terrible for Low Wage Programmers

Batman vs Joker. Coca-Cola vs Pepsi. Michigan vs Ohio. Agile vs Waterfall. All equally important conflicts to the day-to-day lives of software engineers. How to pick just one to talk about is quite the dilemma. However, in being given the requirement to pick just one, the conflict that is most…

How the Male Gaze Hides in Plain Sight

The Mandalorian, Mulan, and Lara Croft all have a recurring problem — their catering to the dominant cultural perspective — I want to talk about the tweet above, what it is, what it means, and why it matters.

The Intersection of Colonization and Misogyny

A large part of how we see gender and colonialism intersect is through the structure of gender itself. In several nations across the East’s* history there were vibrant variances of gender and sexual expression.

Prisons and What We Show to Children

Briefly, something that has caught my interest in writing my previous article on media perpetuation* of the status quo is the way we handle convicts on the screen. This is specifically as it pertains to “positive” portrayals and portrayals which include the outside world while the person is in prison. …
