Yay veganism! (kind of)
Hello all! First off, sorry for the long break. My depression tends to either breed productivity or suffocate it. Last month turned out to be the latter. Anyway I went vegan when I left for college in September so its time for the obligatory (mostly) pro-vegan post! Buckle up friends and lets get into it. … Continue reading Yay veganism! (kind of)
radicalize your new year’s resolutions
Happy New Year! 2019 starts tomorrow and there's an inevitable flood of "new year new me!" taking over the world. A word of caution though. New Years Resolutions, like everything else, are political. While I'm not really one for resolutions (after all change should be constant, not just for January), I'm looking at 2019 as … Continue reading radicalize your new year’s resolutions

Self care for activists
It's very hard to say no. When there is so much pain affecting everyone around you it can be almost impossible, but also you can't go through your whole life triggered. I've been doing that more than normal recently, and speaking from experience, it’s not worth it. I’ve been lowkey depressed and ineffective. I’m here … Continue reading Self care for activists

The Beloved Community: Patrisse Collors and Richard Edmond Vargas
I took three things away from Patrisse Collors and Richard Edmond Vargas: community, intersectionality, and allyship. Community as both support system and a tool, intersectionality as a theory, and allyship as not an identity, but an active choice. In such an isolated, majority white, bubble, these are all things that we need to think about … Continue reading The Beloved Community: Patrisse Collors and Richard Edmond Vargas

Get out the vote!
As you all probably know, November 6th is the midterm elections! That's in ONE WEEK! I cannot stress enough how important it is that you all get out and vote. Only 61.4% of registered voters and only 46.1% of registered youth (18-29) turned out for the 2016 election. Midterm turnout rates have historically hovered around … Continue reading Get out the vote!
Jane Austen’s Insular Radicalism
This paper was submitted by Madeline in Tacoma Washington. She will be presenting it at the Northwest Undergraduate Conference in Humanities on November 3rd, 2018. Abstract This paper will explore how Jane Austen’s reputation as a domestic goddess who was concerned simply with the domestic sphere, ignores the subtle radicalism inherent in her writings. Austen has long … Continue reading Jane Austen’s Insular Radicalism
