Only recently did I learn of the longstanding feud between Spike Lee and Quentin Tarantino. This was a result of internet research I did after seeing a preview for Tarantino’s new movie Django Unchained, and after a dear friend sent me a link to Lee’s refusal…

My path towards nonbelief has been an interesting one.
As I was going about accepting my new life perspective—-which as someone who was very unsure for the majority of my life—-I was thinking about my time when I practiced a religious faith that employed a metaphysical/spiritual healing method called “Johrei.”
To paraphrase (probably badly), how this thing works is, you...
Recap on 2012 & Goals for 2013
Welp, 2012 is pretty much on its last legs. Soon, 2013 will be here, and many exciting adventures, events, and experiences await. But before that happens, I think I should take this opportunity to reflect and look back on what I’ve done and accomplished throughout the year, and think about how I want to go into 2013.
2012 was a very interesting year for me. This year I became more active on...

Will, baby, no. That is untrue. “If you are silent about your pain they will kill you and say you enjoyed it.” Nothing in the world ever changed for the better through people being silent.

Does Asian American + POC = Anti-Black?
By Kil Ja Kim
For a long time, I have considered myself a person of color (POC). I remember the first time I became really invested in POC politics was when I attended a predominantly white liberal arts college. As a Korean woman I gravitated towards the Black students socially and organizationally on...

Context is everything
Let’s take the word, “bitch”.

When a man says it to a woman, what is the…

Freethinking Foxhole Series: Purpose
In my prior post, I gave my reasons as to why Pascal’s Wager, a go-to philosophical concept used to rationalize why one should believe in god, is a faulty concept and explained how it crumbles, even under the mildest of scrutiny. There was another statement said during that exchange that stuck with me, and I want to talk about now.
the essential question every human encounters thru life is...

*Edited as of 6/7/2012.
A recent tweet exchange with a Muslim cat on Twitter has sorta spurred me to create this entry. I ran across a tweet from this person, who said that the “funny thing about Atheism is that for as much as their *beliefs* are rooted in reason and logic. They are quite…ignorant.” When I asked him for evidence to support such a baseless and biased claim, he...
