Paying homage to its proximity to the sea, the Greeks founded the seven-hilled city and named it Byzantium after a son of Poseidon. The city got renamed in 330 AD, when Emperor Constantine for strategic, religious, bureaucratic, and egotistical reasons made it the capital of the Roman empire. The ci...

For far to long, men have run the world. Millenia of wars, oppression, genocide, murder, destroying nations, and wiping history clean of any mention of indigenous peoples and women. The world a chess board and innocents their pawns. All in the name of religion and colonization. Exterminate the brute...

My grandfather Liu Chengyu was a scholar revolutionary bent on overthrowing China’s Qing (aka Ch’ing) Dynasty in the early 1900s. He was also a poet and author. Alas, in keeping with the custom of humility in Chinese culture, he wrote little directly about himself. His anecdote...

The mansplaining coming from the next café table was horrendous. A man was lecturing a woman of a similar age. The topic was her illness, and Mister was going on and on about why she was “really” feeling ill, why her self-care efforts weren’t working, and more. The hap...
