  • The Perception of Sexism and Racism

    The whole point of this post —the problem of dealing with sexism, classism, racism and other oppressive behaviors— is captured in this quote from @chocopompcirc: Racism in this day and age is often subconscious and implicit; you may have to think critically about it, rather than just seeing a black body hanging from a tree…

  • My love of fountain pens, explored.

    I am (unapologetically) fixated on stationery and notebooks. A lot of my feelings about notebooks can be found here [1], but my love for stationery (specifically nib pens) have never really made it to this blog. Until now. I can’t really post pictures of all the pens I’ve collected through the years, since it feels vaguely more braggart-like…

Author’s Note: This is a rewrite of the extemporaneous speech I gave for my Comm III class. I wasn’t really keen on posting it, but several developments have quite frankly forced my hand.…

  • An Update: End Sexual Violence in Conflict

    Me with Secretary Deles, the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, earlier this evening during the cocktail hosted by the British and Australian ambassadors. The reality of sexual violence in conflict and how it pervades areas of armed conflict around the world would take more than just a status to write about and more than…

  • Maybe it’s time to think about it (Feminist Questions)

    /positively brimming with ideas/ 1. Is there such a thing as false feminism? In a lot of ways, this is answerable by no. False feminism, much like false activism (hacktivism, armchair activism etc.) was coined up out of the tangle of sincere-to-insincere motivations of feminists and the effective-detrimental effects of a feminist action. But if we value…

  • That Gender and Sexual Orientation Post

    Apparently I have to redraw the lines. Again. Highly personal rant to follow, so. But helpful, I think.
