CW: Sexual violence
Pretty privilege doesn’t have a downside, actually. Commodification does.
What actually is "pretty privilege?" I thought this would be a better way to do a deep dive about "pretty privilege" as a structural inequality and how individual commodification specifically affect autistic women's mental health/ well-being than posting a slew of reactionary TikTok videos out of frustration.
NOTE: I don't support bullying and all of my analysis is based on a combination of anecdotal accounts and data-centering feminist theory.

The Oscars is rarely a place where socio-political discourse is welcomed. That being said, there is so much more to “the slap” than a lot of white people know. When it pertains to black pain, it’s time for them to listen.

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! Whether you're spending the day with your friends, your significant other, or your dog, you've got something to celebrate. I thought I'd take the opportunity, though, to talk about dating. In this episode, my friend Brittney and I talk about personal boundaries, empathy, race relations, and expectations within dating during a pandemic.
