blog break.
i am in need of a major overhaul on my life, particularly my health, so i’m going to take a break from posting (and reading about things that really stress me out).

huh.
You are seeking an affectionate relationship, offering fulfilment and happiness. You are capable of powerful emotional enthusiasm. Deep down, you are a kind loving person, always helpful and willing to adapt yourself if necessary to realise the bond of affection that you desire. But you need the same consideration and understanding from others and it is this need that will sometimes hold you...

i can't win.
back from the hospital. benadryl and steroids. three failed IV attempts. no referral to a rheumatologist. a lot of ‘we’re so sorry’ and ‘that sucks’ and ‘i wish there was something we could do.’
so in short, i wasted $100 and spent four hours at the er only to be sent away.
thanks, universe! i really love what you’re doing.

my immune system is so great it’s kicking its own butt right now. no fun. also, i’m having an allergic reaction, and aside from being red and puffy all over, i want to claw my skin off.
going to the hospital tomorrow for some answers. wish me luck.

brilliant theory or delusional ranting
what if people who are in super-sealed fancy coffins get infected by whatever mysterious illness/radiation/we’re-not-gonna-explain-it-just-suspend-your-disbelief/magic that causes people to turn to zombies, but they take a long time to escape? so we defeat all the recently dead folks, but years later we get a second onslaught of zombies who have just managed to escape their graves.

Letter from Freed Slave to Former Master Draws... →
We trust the good Maker has opened your eyes to the wrongs which you and your fathers have done to me and my fathers, in making us toil for you for generations without recompense. Here I draw my wages every Saturday night; but in Tennessee there was never any pay-day for the negroes any more than for the horses and cows. Surely there will be a day of reckoning for those who defraud the laborer...

good and bad. mostly bad.
i miss: yoga, exercising regularly, having energy, not crying every day, eating three times a day, sleeping regular hours, the regular cause and effect of illness and treatment.
good things: jeff goldblum in anything, my jill bliss eco journal, sunlight, editing pictures, getting buffy trivia correct (pssh, like i wouldn’t), winning the triangle meatless mondays contest.
i saw my doctor...

maybe it's me
when i get a phone call or text:
damn it, why are you contacting me?
when i get a phone call or text from a guy i like:
NOPE, HE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU. THIS WILL END BADLY. HE DOESN’T LIKE YOU.
when i’m around most people:
they don’t like you. you’re a joke. just go home.

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...

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.

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...
