Welcome to Professional Contrarian!

Say hello to our brands!

Professional Contrarian is resourceful. We teach actual fucking critical thinking. We encourage self-advocacy. We use our knowledge to help people help themselves. But we don’t take ourselves too seriously. One of our brands is all about finding good food in our home town, and another tells everyone way more than they wanted to know about our menstrual cycle and shit our doctors said. Plus, we swear. A lot. Our mission is to stop America’s plummet into idiocracy while making sure we enjoy ourselves too.

Black text on white background details lengthy values statement that reads, "Professional Contrarian is a sociology-informed, values-laden company. Businesses cannot and do not operate in a vacuum. The worldwide sociopolitical climate affects every aspect of all life on Earth. The values we individually and collectively uphold reflect in our politics and vice versa. To that end, Professional Contrarian directly opposes extreme efforts that maliciously harm people for who they are. We oppose efforts to implement, maintain, and enshrine systemic discrimination. We oppose misogyny, sexism, racism, classism, ableism, ageism, heterosexism, Christian nationalism, and any other efforts to make straight, CIS male, White Supremacist Christians the default, irrefutable hegemonic power. Please do not assume any binaries. This does not mean we hate straight people, white people, Christians, CIS men, or anyone who identifies as a combination of those social groups. What we want to see is a human race that holds all people equal, regardless of identity or circumstances, through equity, education, and justice. We flat-out oppose malicious harm, especially to historically excluded groups. We recognize that we all judge one another, as it is human to do so. However, we are learning to assume good intent of others and to avoid holding underinformed judgments against anyone. We ask the same from anyone reading this. We want to help improve life, and we value anything that improves life for everyone. Professional Contrarian stands firmly with people who have been historically excluded and discriminated against because of their appearance, belief system, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability status, veteran status, employment status, housing status, biological makeup, ethnic background, age, citizenship status, marital status, conviction record, mental health, nationality, family status, and more. Professional Contrarian supports the United States of America's First Amendment rights. You have a right to express whatever you want. You are not, however, free from the consequences of what you express. These values are non-negotiable and inseparable from our business. Thank you."

As evidenced by the giant space at the bottom of the home page, the boss is NOT a professional web designer.
