Thursday December 21st marks the beginning of winter. We will experience the longest night of the year that launches the death season for many of the green growing things on land here. But every day the nights get shorter, and then the Spring Equinox will be upon us and the green reborn. The winter solstice, […]
So if you haven’t heard the news by now, The Fifth Estate revealed that Buffy St. Marie has lied about her heritage all these many years since the 1960s. Not only was she not adopted, she’s not even native. It’s a hard watch if you’re a fan like I am, but it’s worth watching to […]
Remember when female rappers wrote intelligent, insightful lyrics? Or even just fun, party, happy lyrics? Now pretty much it’s all about being a whore. Nowadays, the top female rappers now are literally former strippers or prostitutes, proud of it, and only seem willing or able to rap about that. Then, with the male rappers, in […]

Ironically I saw the news on youtube while watching an old video of Proud Mary! I was watching the clip of Beyonce dancing as a little girl that then showed how she used the same moves in her epic Super Bowl performance with Brun Mars. Something about it reminded me of Tina Turner, who I […]
I saw this question on reddit and it got me to thinking. First of all, it doesn’t harm their interests at all. You may see it as such, but they firmly believe they are doing what is best for themselves and other women. Mostly because yes, they do believe in sexism. Religion is a part of it […]
Growing and raising my children from birth to adulthood has been THE greatest experience of my life. If you’re a mom, you know this is no easy feat. Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas. We’re all rockstars!
I read this book in college once that basically said, Ok Africans had slaves, but in Africa slaves were treated like family!
