Down with the single tax!

Now the title of this piece may lead you to believe this is going to be me moaning about being single in a subconsciously envious of couples way. I hope it won’t be that, but I guess I can’t make any promises. This concept came up when reading some form of feminist literature over the

Little Women

I love Little Women. I don’t think this should come as a shock to anyone – I’ve read the books multiple times throughout my childhood and watched the 2020 film at least 5 times since its release (this might not sound like a lot, but I don’t often rewatch films).

The Illusion of Self-Made

In the following blog post, I will argue not only that the notion of being ‘self-made’ is harmful, but also a straight-up lie. I’m sure most of us can agree that Donald Trump’s claims of being self-made with only a small loan (of a million dollars), is a lie. But I want to stop the
