Believe it or not, I have some experience in this area. It's been more than a decade and a half since my last performance on stage. It's also been a while since I've performed on camera; but, I've been

So...you don't get to spend the better part of a decade freaking out about "dog whistles", insisting that silence is violence, and generally becoming irate and belligerent about anything that

I don't think that I've met a single cis person who uses the word "Transphobe" on a regular basis, who isn't actively and consciously engaging in self-deception. There's no way around the fact

I don't know if this is going to surprise anyone that any clash that I have with leftists about Che Guevara's legacy isn't my first rodeo. What I've found to be persistently fascinating about the illiberal

One of the most perplexing shifts in my lifetime has been the political shift from the Right being concerned with what you do in your bedroom to the illiberal Left being obsessed with what you do in your

I am going to point a harsh criticism at myself and vow to make an attempt to adjust my choices of words. I've been using the word "leftist" as the butt of my criticisms too often. Now, there

The minimum wage was originated and is currently embedded in institutional racism. From the beginning, activism in favor of the minimum wage was organized by white supremacist labor unions in an attempt

I'm saying this as somebody who is pro-vaccination and somebody who is fully vaccinated - if you want me to show the fucking card as proof, I'll do it. Okay, if you're under the age of - say- forty and
