A beginner's guide to the vocabulary used in feminism. Learn the difference between sexism and misogyny, for example.

But feminism doesn’t need to be complicated. If you’re new to feminism, I can help! This is the first… [Read More]

#EmpireGoGold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

childhood cancer awareness

In the Long family, we tend to focus our energies and awareness-building on Crohn’s Disease, which I’ve had for more than 20 years, and on brain cancer, which both my twin brother and my mom have.
