An Incomplete and Growing List of Things I {Preach} About

I am not trained to be a preacher, but I never struggle to have—or share—an opinion. Give me the chance, and I’ll pull out my soapbox to expound on a wide range of topics, both of little and much consequence, such as:

• How salary benefits the employer and not the employee
• Why the first Hunger Games movie was the worst Hunger Games movie
• The amazingness of Anderson Cooper, Jason Sudeikis, and Zendaya
• How courts don’t treat domestic violence cases seriously
• The inability for many to buy houses in today’s market, while also getting taken by increasing rent prices
• How the views-based news model is hurting us all
• That while the Legally Blonde musical is great, the film does a better job of allowing Elle to have her own agency in finding her worth and realizing Warner is not worth her time
• Why storytelling is so important in our understanding of ourselves and each other
• How the lyrics “when he was 27, my grandad fought in Vietnam / When I was 27 I built a birdhouse with my mom” by Bo Burnham are some of the most relatable in all of music
• Any number of true crime cases
• Why the fashion of Promising Young Woman is such an important aspect of the film
• The hypocrisy of many anti-gun control movements
• Why people need to stop being rude to Harry and Meghan
• The need for less standardized testing, and more focus on social emotional learning
• Why disliking someone because you think your skin color is better is the worst/most perplexing reason not to like someone
• The many reasons Tucker Carlson is problematic
• That Nathan Scott was the best Scott brother on One Tree Hill 
• How our healthcare system frequently fails people with mental health/addiction issues
• Why bookstores are the best place in the world
• How beautiful the cinematography of films like Rear Window, West Side Story, In the Heights, Little Women, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, La La Land, 1917, etc. is. 
• How women confidently sharing their opinions are seen as arrogant, but men who do are seen as just confident and informed
