What if the Big Bang wasn’t an answer, but a question? Not a declaration of “Here is everything,” but a cosmic whisper: “What could everything become?” We tend to treat the universe like a solved puzzle—atoms, laws, particles, probabilities. But what if it’s more like a riddle that keeps rewriting itself? A question so vast it needed stars, fungi, queer love, and black holes just to begin articulating its syntax? 🧠 Consciousness as a Question Mark Maybe consciousness isn’t t

Senator Joe Manchin’s Journey from Coal Country Champion to Corporate Gatekeeper “He said he’d fight for West Virginia. He fought for Wall Street instead.” 🧠 Campaign Persona Joe Manchin rose to prominence as a Democrat from West Virginia, branding himself as a centrist who understood working-class struggles.

How Progressive Promises Became Corporate Compliance “They campaigned on hope. They voted for harm.” In the theater of American politics, few performances are more devastating than the progressive turncoat. This post inaugurates our Voting Record Autopsy  series—a forensic look at politicians who once spoke the language of justice, only to legislate in favor of capital, control, and compromise. 🧨 Case Study: Senator Kyrsten Sinema Campaign Persona: Sinema entered national po

How Both Parties Have Upheld Harmful Systems “When both sides agree, check your wallet—and your rights.” In a political landscape dominated by performative outrage and partisan bickering, there’s one thing Democrats and Republicans have consistently agreed on: protecting power. While culture wars rage on cable news, both parties have quietly collaborated on policies that have devastated communities, expanded surveillance, and entrenched inequality. This is the Bipartisan Betr

“We are not confused. We are documenting.” Welcome to Never Forget , the digital archive where gaslighting goes to die. This is not a place for debate—it’s a place for receipts. For every politician who voted against healthcare, every CEO who poisoned a town, every pundit who spun suffering into ratings, we remember. We name names. We trace patterns. We refuse erasure. This category exists because harm is not hypothetical. It’s historical. It’s ongoing. And it’s often dressed

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion In a move that defies logic, ethics, and the limits of stationery branding, suspended Minnesota judge John Peter Dehen attempted to legally change his name to “Judge John Peter Dehen.” Not metaphorically. Not as a stage name. As a legal identity. This comes after Dehen was removed from the bench for holding juvenile hearings from a moving vehicle, issuing orders from his personal email, and generally treating the courtroom like a driv

Discover the story of Sophie Germain, the self-taught mathematician who made groundbreaking contributions to number theory and physics — all while writing under a male pseudonym to be taken seriously.

She Ruled Egypt — Then They Scrubbed Her from Stone 🏛️ Introduction: She Didn’t Inherit Power — She Claimed It In the 15th century BCE, Hatshepsut became Pharaoh of Egypt — not queen, not regent, but full sovereign. She wore the ceremonial beard, commissioned grand temples, and led trade expeditions that enriched the empire. Her reign was peaceful, prosperous, and visionary. And after her death, her name was chiseled off monuments. Her statues were smashed. Her legacy was bu

She Discovered the Power — But Was Denied the Prize 💥 Introduction: She Split the Atom — But Not Her Integrity In 1938, Lise Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch cracked the code of nuclear fission — the process that would later power reactors and destroy cities. But when the Nobel Prize was awarded in 1944, it went to her male collaborator Otto Hahn. Meitner’s name was missing. She had fled Nazi Germany as a Jewish scientist, continued her research in exile, and refused to wo

Teenage Girls Who Took Down Nazis 💋 Introduction: Pretty Girls Don’t Start Revolutions — Until They Do They were teenagers. They wore braids and lipstick. They rode bicycles through occupied streets. And they carried pistols in their purses. Freddie and Truus Oversteegen, along with their comrade Hannie Schaft, were part of the Dutch resistance during World War II. They didn’t just smuggle messages or hide fugitives — they lured Nazi officers into the woods and executed them

She Crashed the Boston Marathon — and Changed Sports Forever 💥 Introduction: She Didn’t Just Run — She Reclaimed Space In 1967, Kathrine Switzer registered for the Boston Marathon under the name “K.V. Switzer.” At the time, women weren’t allowed to compete. When race officials realized she was female, one tried to physically drag her off the course. Her boyfriend intervened. Kathrine kept running. That moment — captured in a now-iconic photo — became a flashpoint in the figh

She Saw DNA’s Secrets — Then They Took the Credit 🧪 Introduction: She Didn’t Need a Spotlight — She Was the Lens In the early 1950s, Rosalind Franklin captured one of the most important images in scientific history: Photo 51. This X-ray diffraction image of DNA revealed its double helix structure — the blueprint of life itself. But Franklin’s data was shared without her consent, and the credit went to Watson and Crick. She wasn’t invited to the Nobel ceremony. She wasn’t cit

Before Silicon Valley, There Was Ada 💡 Introduction: She Didn’t Just Calculate — She Composed Long before Silicon Valley, before punch cards and processors, Ada Lovelace looked at a mechanical calculator and saw something radical: a machine that could think, create, and compose. In the 1840s, she wrote the first algorithm intended for a machine — making her the world’s first computer programmer. But Ada wasn’t just a mathematician. She was a poet of logic, a visionary who sa

👑 Introduction: When History Refuses the Throne, Build One In 1622, Queen Nzinga of Ndongo and Matamba entered a peace negotiation with Portuguese colonizers. They refused to offer her a seat. So she made one — commanding her attendant to kneel and become her throne. That moment wasn’t just symbolic. It was a declaration: I will not be diminished. Nzinga’s reign spanned nearly four decades. She was a master of diplomacy, guerrilla warfare, and spiritual strategy. She convert

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion AI-generated actor Tilly Norwood is starring in five films simultaneously, triggering an existential crisis in Hollywood. Stars are demanding contracts that protect their emotional range and cheekbone rights. Slacktivists responded with a film festival called Uncanny Valley Girl , featuring glitch poetry and a panel titled Can a Robot Cry in French? “We’re not anti-AI,” said Whoopi Goldberg. “We just want our humanity back.” Closing T

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion TikTok’s latest viral audio—“Ain’t nobody safe when I’m a little bit drunk”—has been repurposed by neurodivergent creators to confess their spiral triggers. From false eyelashes to executive dysfunction, the chaos is relatable, theatrical, and healing. Slacktivists are remixing the trend with captions like: “Ain’t nobody safe when I’m masking and my stim toy breaks.” “Ain’t nobody safe when I’m asked to ‘circle back.’” “It’s not a mel

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion In British Columbia, a hungry osprey dropped a fish onto a power line, sparking a brush fire and knocking out electricity. Locals used 4,800 gallons of water to extinguish the blaze. The osprey? Unbothered. Possibly trying to cook its catch. Ashcroft Fire Rescue posted: “Another suspicion could be that it’s tired of raw fish and wanted to give cooked a try.” Slacktivists now refer to the bird as Comrade Crispy , patron saint of chaoti

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion The federal government has been shut down for 20 days and counting—making it the third-longest in U.S. history. Congress calls it a budgetary impasse. Slacktivists call it a forced sabbatical from dysfunction. National parks are closed. Military paychecks are frozen. But the vibes? Immaculate. “We’re treating this shutdown like a wellness retreat,” said @RestIsRebellion. “No emails. No urgency. Just naps and mutual aid.” “Shutdowns ar

Dispatches from the Slacktivist Rebellion In what may be the largest coordinated protest in U.S. history, over 7 million people  took to the streets for the second “No Kings” day of action. The message? No to authoritarian cosplay. No to Christian nationalist economic policy. No to AI-generated monarch memes. President Trump responded with a deepfake video of himself flying a jet labeled “King Trump” and dumping digital feces on protesters. The Slacktivist Rebellion responded
