Aaron Bushnell Is an Idea the Western Governments Fear the Most
In a world even more morbid and dystopian than our current reality, if you had to stage a play showcasing the current state of affairs to an audience that has been asleep for five months, you could effectively do it in…
This Is What You Came For
Taylor Swift has a new boyfriend. Possibly! Maybe? We need this. Lately, the world has been exceptionally exhausting.; a joyous event unfolding before our eyes, even if carefully crafted in some PR office, we’ll take it. Lie to us! But lie well. So far it has been well.
Walking in Other Women's Shoes
Two years ago, an unlikely place held a valuable lesson for me. I’m not sure I deserved it, nor I was proud of how I got it, but it was mine, nonetheless. 2021 proved to be exceptionally challenging, perhaps the most trying year I've ever faced, in terms of dealing with people.
Stop Disturbing Women You’re Not Ready For
I popped onto Twitter the other day, scrolled through my timeline a bit, and within a few minutes, I ran into three interesting Tweets: “Stop disturbing women you’re not ready for”, “Men be like “I’m different” then be a different type of disappointment”, “When you first…”
My Beige Summer
Summer is a notoriously challenging season for writing. Is it just me? I have to look outside my window and see gloom, rather than glee, to steady myself enough to put some sensible words on paper. Writing blossoms well in irritation, sadness, and hurt. Summer usually brings happiness and excitement, and those feelings rarely…
The Summer That Freed Me from Teen Dramas
There’s just something about the low-stakes teen dramas that nourishes our soul. Is it a connection to our childhood, a reminder of how the shows we watched influenced our journey in this world? It’s comforting to me, even at this age; I don’t think I will ever outgrow…
Barbenheimer: Public Relations Move or Trojan Horse?
I promised myself I wouldn’t write about this. We are choking with Barbie opinion pieces. What is Barbenheimer anyway? Someone invented a name, a term, and we all just went for it? I’m aware it’s just…
Queen Charlotte: A Triumph of Mental Health Conversation
I was convinced there is no story or a season out of Bridgerton universe that’ll seduce me more than Season 2 and the Viscount/Sharma bonanza, yet it did. ‘Queen Charlotte’ floored me. If you’ve already watched it…
Boomer-Zero Takes the Crown
In the research for this article, I ran into Caitlin Flanagan of The Atlantic calling King Charles a “Boomer Zero” and I can’t unsee it. Boomer Zero! It explains so much, and most importantly - summarizes the Coronation and the new reign under Charles in two neat words.
You Don’t Need More Friends
Folks, it’s purge season. This is your reminder to wipe the dust from those boundaries you set up but never actually placed in action. Society tricked you into thinking you need hordes of friends, so you tolerate things from people who use your kindness, empathy, and vulnerability to…
Benign Success or Magnificent Failure?
I’m a big believer in regularly reminding ourselves of who we are. The pace of life we’re on is hectic and fast, it’s easy to forget who we used to be, what we liked, what got our hearts running. What was our passion? What did we collect as kids? What formed us to be what we are today?
The Irish Oscars
In 2009, I wrote my first blog. It was the night of the Golden Globes when Tina Fey told her internet haters to suck it on a national stage, and the night Colin Farrell picked up the Best Actor for his role in In Bruges. When he got on stage, he was sniffing a tad bit or his nose was running, and he said…
An Intro to Retroactive Jealousy
I used to write a lot about why men do what they do. I analyzed them to a point of unconsciousness, thinking if I break them down diligently, I would somehow instigate a shift in dubious behaviors. Men don’t bother me as of late.
I Come for the Social Commentary, I Stay for the Murders
I didn’t expect to be mesmerized by You on Netflix as much as I am. When a movie or a tv-show is made based on a book, I usually want to read the book first.
‘Pamela, a Love Story’ Is No Curated Experience
My friend Brandon often tells me - “Miranda, society peaked in the ‘90s”. And sometimes he tells me he’s jealous I got to be a teenager and a young adult then and do all the stupidly cool things people did in the ‘90s. If you give me the option to be 20 right now, today…
Why ‘Spare’ Is About a Much-Needed Media Reform
I usually write about things that moved me right after I experienced them. Strike while it’s hot, method style. With ‘Spare’, I wanted to read it at my own pace and observe the noise before I would offer my opinion.
