In this episode, I sit down with Lil Ribbit for a raw and deeply human conversation. We talk about their journey of self-discovery as an asexual and aromantic person, growing up in the Mormon church and eventually leaving, and how trauma can leave lasting effects on both mind and body. #interview

Natalie keeps it real—she’s just a girl who loves her cat and the Kardashians. But as a trans woman who passes, she uses that privilege to help open doors for others, even in spaces where she might not be fully welcome herself.

Israel isn’t just posturing against Iran or Syria—it's escalating conflict across the region while committing genocide against Palestinians. Bombing refugee camps, blockading aid, and displacing millions isn’t defense. It’s domination. And the world needs to say so. #CeasefireNOW #FreePalestine

The U.S. says it’s close to finalizing multiple trade deals—just days before a wave of Trump-era tariffs kick back in on August 1. Countries aligned with BRICS could face even steeper penalties. The threat of tariffs is back on the table, and markets are already feeling it. #trumptariffs #trade

Central Texas just lost 27 lives—many of them children—to flash flooding that rose 29 feet overnight. We have the tech to prevent this. What we don’t have is the will. Updated maps, safer infrastructure—these save lives. Cutting climate funding isn’t “fiscal responsibility.” It’s negligence. #usa

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a Reverse-Robin Hood heist: 💸 Massive tax cuts for the rich 💔 Medicaid slashed for 12 million low-income families 📉 $5 trillion more in national debt They’re not building a stronger economy—they’re gutting poor folks to fatten billionaires. #bigbeautifulbill #usa

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is back in the House—loaded with tax cuts for the rich, deep Medicaid cuts, and a $5 trillion debt bomb. Republicans are fighting each other over it. Democrats are united against it. Meanwhile, 12 million people could lose health care. All for a billionaire’s PR stunt.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering, but found guilty of transporting individuals for prostitution—charges that carry up to 10 years. The jury didn’t see coercion, but didn’t see innocence either. Fame doesn’t erase accountability. Sentencing awaits. #diddytrial
