Grilled cheese must be hot!
Beer must be cold!
Woe what a tenuous situation!
I want to burn-
- to move to what burns me. Like a moth to its oblivion.
Why don’t words come while pen is in hand! But in fleeting shadows and forgotten moments peek through.

Saint Francis redux
This Kelsey Heinrichs girl is aweeeesome! kelseyisheinrichs:
I thought it would be fun/cool to re-create Bonaventura Berlinghieri’s “Saint Francis”. I’m thinking about selling prints of this and maybe redoing a few more paintings. Caravaggio’s “The Martyrdom of St. Matthew” looks particularity interesting at the moment.

Gender Socialization in "The Little Mermaid"
Got to write about Disney for my last paper in Women’s Studies. Dream come true.
My mother championed an earnest effort to raise my two brothers and me in a progressive, gender-neutral environment. But it is impossible to raise children in a cultural vacuum. One animated film franchise that became a ubiquitous cultural force penetrated her No-Barbie-No-Dress-Up shield and...

I don’t want to be a feminist anymore. →
faerielandsforlorn:
I don’t want to be a feminist anymore. Like a five-year-old, I want to close my eyes, stick my fingers in my ears, stomp my feet on the floor and scream “No! No, you cannot make me, I won’t, leave me alone!” I am, simply put, too tired. So very, very tired.
I am tired of fighting with my friends. I am tired of arguing that someone groping and slapping my butt isn’t “what I...
Body Positivity, Part Two
This semester I purchased a pass for the “Mind Body” classes at our fitness center, meaning for $80 I can go to any of the classes teaching multiple variations of yoga and pilates that are offered daily.
It has been awesome! I’ve gone the past five weeks for at least five and up to seven days a week! I’ve been feeling so much stronger and flexible and I’ve already...
