  • I stand on the brink of a great revolution, in sight of my fearless progeny. This journey leaves me breathless, my mind quivering, my soul reaching, always reaching, as I wait for it to cross my path, like thunder striking the lonely traveler, a I charge to search it, the willful collision of a starving…

  • Originally posted on AwayPoint: Coauthor:  Tony Nugent, Ph.D. This decade has been called, “The Mormon Moment,” the time that America’s largest home-grown religion finally comes into its own as a part of the Christian tapestry. Even some LDS quirks seem to be turning into positives.  Shifting sexual mores have made Mormon polygamy and sacred undergarments…

  • For the love of something

    is a completely irrelevant post title. Today I’d like to write about several things not actually related to some advocacy or social issue (EXCEPT THE ISSUE OF MY LIFE). Let me begin. The Fifth Bio Lab Exam I have SO MUCH RAGE it deserves to be underlined. I have never, in my life, been so…

  • Coffeeshop Diaries #1

    Context I was about to title this post as /HIPSTER DIARIES/, but then I realized that I am severely under-qualified to be a hipster. Values independent thinking? Check. Loves counter-culture, progressive politics, yada yada? Check. Hipster clothes? Uh, not in this century. So I am resolved to label this and all the following posts by…

  • Essay: Filipina Feminista

And then I am told to expect this of life every single year.  No. Just. Ugh.  Not to mention the fact that proving identities is…

  • In Progress

    In Progress

    I haven’t posted anything in a while, mostly because I don’t have anything complete to present to the world. My “In Progress” desktop folder is full of things I can’t seem to finish once I’ve started. I will finish them, though. I promise.

    Art Recs: All over the internet

    In an effort to clean up my reading list/ bookmarks page and to attain some level of productivity tonight, have some art recs! (I’m still not done going over my saved links though; I’m pretty sure I’ve saved more awesome art!) FABIO SELVATICI’S OBSCURE SERIES, Photomanipulation Pyschosomatic (adj.): a condition caused or aggravated by a…

  • :(

    I am once again sick. Damn.  Last (Friday) night I bought the KFC Chicken Burger meal to go and ate it in my dorm. Apparently there was something very wrong with what I ate; I proceeded to vomit my stomach out past midnight, and then vomit again after drinking some water. That was not a…
