Kashmir: Why and How We’re Here

by Yasmin in Social Issues September 25, 2019 0

Who’s been watching The Crown on Netflix? I have, and it’s just perpetuating the already complicated and preoccupying relationship I have with the British Empire.

Protests in Hong Kong

by Yasmin in Social Issues July 25, 2019 0

We’ve all heard of Hong Kong, a region of China that’s kind of not really a part of China.

Halfway through The Mueller Testimony

by Yasmin in Politics | Policy July 24, 2019 0

Watching the Mueller saga is like watching the final season of Game of Thrones. It’s frustrating, it’s boring, and there are so many holes that you know will never be filled and plot lines that will never lead to anything. Read More…

My friends – people who actually know me personally and have had any kind of conversation with me that goes beyond the nonsense I post on my Instagram story – can all attest to the fact that I have a “metaphysical” mindset, for lack of a better word. Read More…

The Gaslighting of the American People

by Yasmin in Social Issues April 3, 2019 1

by Yasmin in Politics | Policy March 28, 2019 0

The electoral college is a fun thing. Lots of people have been talking about it lately, specifically about getting rid of it.

Naturally, there are proponents on both sides of this argument, but also naturally, it’s a complicated issue. Read More…

We currently have a white, male president. Out of the 45 presidents this nation has seen, only one of them was a slight variant of that. We elected a half-black man in 2008, and then as soon as his two terms in office were complete, we reverted back to what we’d always known. Read More…
