I’ve been putting off writing this post because I’ve never been good with goodbyes (who is, really?) and I’ve always had a hard time embracing change. Not to mention how hard it is to follow the farewells of my two phenomenal co-editors, BoobsRadley and HeroineAddict. But on my final day as an undergraduate student, I’ll […]
Read More Closing TimeNote to the reader: if you’re unsure of what some of the terms in this post mean, check out ShoutOut’s definition page! Feminism is my buzzword. Say the “f” word once and I’m as alert as the dog from “Up,” and plaster it on anything I will scoop it up faster than ice cream. So […]
Read More We Should All Be (Inclusive) FeministsIf you’re like me and maybe don’t follow the news as closely as you should (but sometimes don’t like to admit it), you’ve probably heard the term “bathroom bill” being thrown around a lot recently. But what’s with all the toilet talk? The bathroom bill is quite the hot topic in Congress right now, so […]
Read More What’s with all the toilet talk?One of my favorite parts of feminism is the emphasis that is put on being an ally. ShoutOut has seen many bloggers and editors come and go, but they have all remained a part of our little community as some of our biggest supporters. Recently, former editor Shannon Garner paid a visit to our newsroom […]
Read More Your Virtual Reality May Be Someone Else’s RealityLet’s set the record straight: I have just as much of a celeb-centered mind as the next person. The Kardashians are my guilty pleasure, and you know I am watching Beyoncé’s every move. For me, it’s about their fashion choices, but for others, it may be something else; to each their own. But there is […]
Read More The Problem with Belly WatchingWhat does beer have to do with immigration? Maybe a frat boy wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat while watching Fox News report on Trump’s recent travel ban and opening an ice cold brewski — but you’ll have to ask Budweiser for a better explanation. One of America’s favorite beer kingdoms pre-released their Super […]
Read More With Beer and Justice for AllHey readers! Here’s what happened in the ShoutOut! Newsroom this week! The Muslim Ban On Friday, January 17, President Trump issued an executive order (making it his fourteenth executive order in just his first week of office) banning immigrants and refugees of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US for 90 days, as well as […]
Read More Newsroom Round UpHey what’s up hello to all of you lovely ShoutOut readers. I am absolutely ecstatic to be back working with a brand new batch of bloggers this semester! Feminism never sleeps, and I’m eager to dive back into the fem dialogue as a co-editor with @HeroineAddict and @BoobsRadley, as well as with the fellow bloggers […]
Read More A Beyoncé Appreciation PostWhen I first started writing for ShoutOut, I was scared. I felt that because I barely knew anything about feminism, I was betraying my gender in a sense. I was surrounded by all of these other bloggers who seemed so confident in their feminist identity, whereas I didn’t feel like I was doing the feminist […]
Read More What I Learned In Feminism Class Is…We need to talk. Talk about what’s happening in the world. Talk about why it’s happening. Talk about our role in what is happening and what we need to do to make it stop. Disclaimer #1: This post is on a heavy topic and I am still not able to grasp all aspects of it. […]
