Why I still write.
Why I still write.
Years ago, I started this blog because I was angry. I was angry at all the injustice in the world and at all the oppression and hatred that we still deal with. And I was angry at my own ignorance. I wasn’t really sure where I wanted to go with this project but I knew that I wanted to learn, to be challenged, and to have my voice heard in some way. Writing somewhat anonymously over the years has…

Things to do.
Things are hectic and overwhelming now on so many different levels – trying to just keep up with what’s coming out of the White House and from 45’s administration on a regular basis is difficult most days. Add in everything else, including trying to survive, just getting out of bed most days can be hard. But it’s so important that we, especially and particularly we as white people, do get out of…

Understanding this weekend.
Over the weekend, I was glued to the screen to my phone, watching the events violently unfold in Charlottesville, Virginia and trying to understand both what’s happening in real time and the context for it all. It’s difficult for so many reasons to really keep up and understand what’s been going on but here’s a brief timeline of what happened on Friday and Saturday in Charlottesville. (more…)

Taking up less space.
Taking up less space.
I have spent most of my life desperately trying to take up less space. I’ve stayed quiet, gone to public spaces during times they’d have the least amount of people, worn dull colors. My entire life goal is to draw the least amount of attention to myself in an attempt to have people forget I exist. There have been more than a few times in which I’ve actually had some success in that department –…

"This is stolen land". #graffiti #stolenland
I've been trying to learn how to balance everything in my life lately. What people expect of me, what I need to survive, where I want to go in life. It's been a hard few months for me - my depression/anxiety have both taken a lot out of me and family drama has made it hard to move forward in my life. Being out in nature and among some of my favorite places as a child has just really reminded me of what I do love and need. Exploring the Pacific Northwest has reminded me of the happy kid I once was and of all the things that still bring joy to my life. All of this isn't changing the world or resisting in any form but as someone who struggles with getting out of bed each day, it's really amazing to be able to have a reason to live again. .. .. .. .. .. #nature #balance #rocks #balancingrocks #pnw #pacificnorthwest #depression #anxiety
Rabbits Podcast.
The newest production from the teams behind Tanis and The Black Tapes finished their first season last week with a shocking twist. This show, titled Rabbits, is by far the best produced and written podcasts from the Public Radio Alliance and its sister network, Pacific Northwest Stories. Rabbits is, at the heart of it, about one person’s attempt to find their missing friend. Carly Parker, the…

mental health [revisited]
For the longest time, I had hoped that my depression and anxiety would go away with time. There were always obstacles – school, work, friend drama. Something always seemed to come up to make me anxious and when I wasn’t anxious, I was usually depressed. At the very least, I thought that once I finished school, my anxiety would dissipate. But it turns out that after graduation, I found new things…

Drinking coffee and reading "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz right now and the first couple chapters have already drastically changed the way I look at history. This book should be a vital part of learning and teaching U.S history! #book #bookstagram #history #historybooks #ushistory #indigenouspeopleshistoryoftheunitedstates #coffee #coffeemug #relearning
I'm a huge fan of both @janetmock and podcasts so naturally, I was so excited to hear that she's hosting a new podcast! The first episode was just released on Monday and I'm listening to it today. So far, I love it and I'm so excited to hear more! #neverbefore #podcast #audio #interview
Genealogy
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been digging into part of my family history – something that I’ve been meaning to do for years but never really had the time. I’ve always loved learning more about my own family and hearing the stories of others doing the same. The story of the House on Loon Lake is one of my favorite episodes from This American Life and I’m really excited to hear more from the…

Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.
I wrote a few months ago about my excitement and general love for Gilmore Girls. The original series was a part of my childhood, as I’d always watch reruns on ABC Family with my mom and sister. It taught me the importance of mother daughter relationships, whether it was with your own mother or a chosen one. I learned how friendships between girls shouldn’t be torn apart because of ambition or…
