Inclusive AF. Why subscribe?
I started this newsletter because, like many of you, I’m constantly looking at the world and thinking, “What the actual fuck?” I grew up on values taught by Sesame Street, Mister Rogers, and yes, the red words in the Bible. Empathy. Kindness. Accountability. Treating others as I wish to be treated. But, here we are, drowning in hateful noise, dismissive rhetoric, and outright cruelty.
I’ve had enough. Maybe you have, too.
This space is for people who are tired of the garbage but still believe in better—people ready to speak up, hold others accountable, and fight for a world where everyone matters. Wanna act like a Total Douchebag? Fine, but you won’t do it without someone spilling the tea.
I’m also shaped by feminism and the badass women (real and imagined) who pushed back against the system when the odds were stacked against them—Princess Leia, Wonder Woman, Rosa Parks, and Harriett Tubman. Women are power. And right now, that power is under attack. Misogyny is surging, and our bodily autonomy is being ripped away. If that doesn’t boil your blood, it should.
And then there’s the state of politics. A FELON. A RAPIST. A LIAR. Re-elected? We’re living in a nightmare that’s beyond parody. If you think Mad King Donald (MKD) gives even one, single fuck about you or anyone else, then you’re better off finding another newsletter. This one? It’s for the people who aren’t drinking that Kool-Aid.
Inclusive AF is for those of us who are frustrated but not giving up. It’s a space to call things out, lift each other up, and fight for a reality that aligns with the values we were raised to believe in—the ones that still mean something.
If you’re ready to be part of the change, you’re in the right place. No bullshit, no pandering, no hate. Just real talk and an unwavering commitment to creating something better. Strap in. We’ve got work to do.
