Things I’m Most Looking Forward to in 2020

I know we’re already a few weeks into 2020, but I haven’t had time to put this up until now. Such is life! In any case, here’s the pop culture I’m anticipating in 2020.

What I’ve Been Reading: September 23, 2018

It’s been a while since I’ve delivered some links for you. So let’s read some shizz.

What I’ve Been Reading: August 19, 2018

This is a bit of a heavier What I’ve Been Reading than usual, but I think there are some really good articles in here that y’all should take a gander at. We’re going to talk about video game censorship, media representation, free speech, and corporate mismanagement. Let’s dive in!
