Buy Her Candy

I'm Kate. 25; Canberra, Australia; queer feminist writer, photographer, activist, and graduate student. This is my scrapbook of sorts. I have a slightly more 'serious' writing and photography blog over here. Some things I like: The Libertines; buying too much on Etsy; Joan Didion; high-waisted skirts; The Kills; skinny jeans; Sleater-Kinney; Fall Out Boy; photography; Game of Thrones; always wearing red nail polish; Against Me!; XKCD; Haruki Murakami; researching; Xiaolu Guo; too many books and not enough bookshelves; Southeast Asia; people speaking their minds. You can send me emails at katewalton.au-at-gmail.com. I almost always reply. I'm also on pretty much every social networking site ever, but these are the ones I actually use: last.fm / flickr / twitter / katewalton.photoshelter.com var sc_project=4559843; var sc_invisible=1; var sc_partition=69; var sc_security="914460ba";
