I Know You're Not a Rapist. You Are Still Probably Contributing to Rape Culture.
Since apparently anytime I encourage the men in my life that they can be better = I'm accusing all men of being potential rapists, let me be more specific in why I want you to read/watch the things I post on facebook.
You do not have to be a rapist yourself to allow rapists to get away with their crime.
I think I'm being pretty generous in not ( Read more... ) -
The Angry Feminist (Cross-posted on facebook)
Assholes like to belittle women’s rights activists, dismissing us as “angry feminists.” Normally I bristle against stereotypes of any kind, but especially ones that try to limit who I am as a person. I’m not a bitch. I don’t hate men. I shave my legs.
But I am angry.
I’m angry that systematically, across the nation, at different levels of government ( Read more... ) -
No social life = More time to read!
So... I have no social life. Yet. But I'm okay with this because I have oodles of time to read!!!
Let's start with some retold fairy tales. I first read Beastly by Alex Flinn a few years ago. I absolutely loved it then, and after rereading it last week, I still adore it. A brilliant modern version of Beauty and the Beast. This was the first time ( Read more... ) -
Summer readin' had me a blast...
Although my social life got in the way of my reading this summer, I did manage to read a fair amount of books. Unfortunately, I didn't record the titles of all of them before reviewing them. I will endeavour to do my best, however, from memory.
Insatiable by Meg Cabot. Another brilliant work by Meg Cabot. Everything she writes is fluffy gold. But ( Read more... ) -
I should rename my blog "Boys, Books, & Other B-problems"
I've totally slacked off in my writing, but at least I've been reading a fair amount this summer.
Keys to the Castle by Donna Ball. I usually don't read romance novels (very different than novels with romance in them), but this takes place in France and features a southern heroine. Who can resist such allure? A very easy read, gorgeous descriptions ( Read more... ) -
A Very Kappa Summer
A public post? Haven't written one of these in awhile! I promise to update the rest of my European travels... eventually. Not today, though!
I'm in Columbus, Ohio for the summer, interning with Kappa's Heritage Museum. In other words, I totally scored my dream internship.
A guide to all the new people who will pop up in my blog:

Books are my best friends
A new crop of books have been harvested since last time I wrote my recommendations.
The Angel Factory, by Terence Blacker. This is relatively short and very easy to read. Thomas Wisdom's "life is perfect. Almost too perfect." Thomas learns more about who he is, about his past, and about what he wants to do in his life. Really explores the big ( Read more... ) -
Summer book club!
As y'all should know by now, given the chance, I read nonstop. I've been a bit lazy in my reading since moving back to the States, but I have spent a fair amount of time blogging, replying to emails, and watching Glee. Those are my excuses. Oh. And writing fanfiction. That took ages.
These are not proper reviews, and I apologize. Just short blurbs ( Read more... ) -
you know I'm only 23, right?
I finished teaching April 15, but Annie had asked me to chaperone some field trips the first week of school break. I was like... you know I'm only 23, right? But one of the teachers couldn't fulfill her commitment, and they needed someone else. Who was I to say no to such a desperate situation? And by "desperate situation," I mean free entry to a ( Read more... )
