IwriteMywrongsPublished 10 months ago in The SwampMy Interpretation of Woke
Have you ever gone on YouTube or TikTok and have heard someone discussing wokeism? Me too. The word woke seems to have just appeared suddenly and the usage of the word has increased throughout recent years. Despite this, it seems that we don't have a distinctive answer to what it truly means to be 'woke.'

However, it has been twisted and used many times to become something negative.

School Dress Codes: The Racist and Sexist Reality of It All
Hello dear audience! Today we are going to be discussing something that's been on my mind lately. I recently was thinking about how glad I was to grow up homeschooled. I was reminiscing about things that I gladly didn't have to deal with like a controlled schedule, having to be told when I have to use the bathroom or have breaks, and the dress code came up. I guess I was glad that I didn't have to be told to go home or cover up because my outfit might 'distract the boys.'
Climate Change is a Security Issue, President Insists
February 27th (Newport News, VA) – The President wants the country to focus in on five very specific scientific endeavors; ones that the administration says will tackle “the current real security problems and human toll due to climate change”, but will also set the United States up for a long-term future.
