it’s gorgeous outside and i feel a lot better, which makes me worry that all of the random symptoms i’ve experienced the past few months are related to seasonal affective disorder, or maybe an aversion to the cold/barometric pressure, or maybe it’s lupus oh god please don’t let it be lupus because there’s no rhyme or reason to any of it.
but yes, today was wonderful...

oh, hi tumblr.
Why do we have to explain racism EVERY FUCKING NIGHT?
The confederate flag was a symbol for the Confederate States of America.
The Confederacy was about slavery. Don’t pull that states rights bullshit with me, this is what it was about:
“Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner- stone rests, upon the great truth that the...

Maybe if:
Digital copies of media were not as expensive as hard copies
Media was available internationally
“Now Showing In Select Cities” didn’t just mean NY and LA
Premium television networks made their media available a la carte from cable companies
Cable companies provided more value options for their customers
The wage and wealth gaps weren’t so high
Maybe if media and...

today
i woke up for the first time in a month with normal-sized fingers. no pain. hooray, steroids!
i finished my pricing guide, emailed two potential brides, and asked for advice from fellow photographers.
had two cavities filled.
took a nap.
ate a full meal (well, half a quesadilla, but that’s more than i’ve been able to consume in a while).
did carpool for my sisters.
now off to...

i had a really rough weekend.
friday
ever get that feeling that people you know really don’t want to be around you? i was feeling that pretty intensely. curse of social media-i know what you’re doing but i didn’t call you out on it. sometimes i get that awful vibe that i’m not included because people think i’m a big joke. dinner at cosmic and chubby’s (if...

I’m about to write an post, as well as a guest post to a well-known external blog about this, and if need be, I will submit it to my local news organization for review, and I need for you to understand that before I proceed. This is not something you will be able to explain away or cover up....

a late night post
i got an appointment for a specialist in april, so it looks like for the next three months i’ll be waking up every morning, hoping that my fingers aren’t swollen and that i can walk.
i’m supposed to put on a brave face and be a grownup and be positive about all of this, but i’m not. i spend most of my days feeling like i’m going to die and that no one will notice....

portlandia/portland article →
”For them, Mississippi Avenue has never been anything other than the site of the “hottest new restaurants and the hippest shops”; its pre-gentrification history as a hub of black business and social life has been lost to time.”
this reminds me too much of Durham. we’re not at portland-hipster status, but quite possibly headed there in 20 years.

peopleofcolor:
As I went through my habitual morning routine of checking all of my social media hubs for today’s links in social commentary, I came upon the latest response video to the hugely popular “Shit Girls Say,” Franchesca Ramsey’s ( a.k.a. Chescaleigh’) “Shit White Girls Say…to Black Girls.”
The two minute video finds Franchesca, a young Black woman wearing a blonde wig in character...

quarter life.
i turned 25 on thursday.
the bad:
trip to the dmv (on the bright side, i aced the sign test and had a nice evaluator).
my doctor called with some unhappy blood test results. going to see a specialist, yadda yadda.
a massage that was great at first but made me like i’d been punched all over after. (thanks, autoimmune disorders!).
my mom crying about my health issues.
the good:

health things
i went to the doctor on thursday about all my health problems.
good news:
i lost another 10 pounds, which means that in the past year and a half i’ve lost 22.2 pounds. i weigh as much as i did before i started anti-depressants. i’m halfway to my ideal weight.
i don’t hate my doctor anymore! i made it clear that i wanted to be treated holistically and that i wanted to get to...

vaguely tipsy post
1. people like drunk allie more than they love sober allie. and they love telling drunk allie this.
2. drunk allie wants to tell everyone to go fuck themselves. she wants to do this because most people suck and because they tell her they like her better when she’s drunk. and then she says it and everyone likes her more. it’s a vicious cycle, really.
3. allies of all degrees of...

i love
the universe is handing my ass to me this week, time for some gratitude.
seeing hall and oates in concert, thursday night yoga (private lesson! hooray for a small studio and a great instructor), playing guitar, being told i should stop photography in favor of a music career, sparkling water, pineapple, hot chocolate, long coats, regaining movement in my fingers, sending out client emails instead...
