I will be making some changes to tumblr. Stay tuned. This blog is too accessible to people who don't understand boundaries.
god it’s so annoying how delusional ass conservatives act like millennials are “offended by everything” for standing up to things like blatant racism and sexism, meanwhile there’s a conservative outrage every time starbucks releases a cup without “merry christmas” on it
why is “go to your room” a punishment?? like yes thank you i’d love to go to my room. i’d love to be Alone
I still care about my grades but have no motivation to do any type of work????????????????????
I had an interesting conversation with my dad about this recent election. He is very conservative while I am very liberal. I acknowledge that my choice of political alignment may be influenced by my age (as he has pointed out to me several times) but I refuse to accept that that makes my opinion and voice any less valid than his.
We were talking about how the one thing we agreed on in this election is that neither of us was very keen on either candidate. My dad explained that his rational for voting for Trump was that he decided to “scrape away all of the crap” from both candidates and look solely on policy. Since he has conservative views he voted for Trump.
The part that I struggle with is that that makes sense to me. I don’t like either candidate and that seems like a logical approach to muddling through this mess of an election. I’m of the opinion that they’re both horribly flawed candidates.
But the difference between us is that I’m not able to “scrape away all the crap”. I think the crap is equally as important. I can’t look past Benghazi or the classified emails. And I can’t look past downplaying sexual assault or ostracizing certain races of people or entire religions.
Character is important too.
For me, yes, my political views had me leaning toward Hillary. But I have a hard time understanding people who say they are more offended by “what Hillary did than by what Trump said”. Because your words have power too.
But I also struggle with the backlash that Trump supporters have received after the outcome of this election. Trump’s words do have power. And they’ve already marginalized a lot of people. But voting for Trump does not mean you agree with his racist comments, or his belittling of women, or his intolerance for other religions. Are you enabling him? Absolutely. But does it mean you share all of his beliefs? No.
Just like my voting for Hillary does not mean I support the things she has done.
These are still people and deserve basic human respect still. I’ve seen some very violent protesting and it makes me sick. I don’t agree with Trump supporters any more than those protestors. But when people lash out with violence it makes it easier to be labeled “a crazy liberal”. The people you’re trying to send a message to care even less about what you’re trying to say and just write the protest off as irrational liberals that don’t know how to lose gracefully. They miss the point entirely.
I thought a lot about how my vote would effect not just myself but everyone who has become fearful of the rhetoric that Trump uses because it’s directed at them. I am a middle class, white, female. I’ve never been marginalized in my whole life but I recognize my vote effects people who have been.
I can’t just “scrape away the crap” because this is bigger than just me. Realistically the outcome of this election probably won’t effect me all that much. But there are plenty of people out there that it does effect. And I’d like to think that my vote matters for them too.
I couldn’t vote for Trump even if I did agree with his policies because “the crap” is important. “What Trump says” is now going to set the tone for our country. And I refuse to accept a tone that make so many Americans feel unsafe in their own country.

this is why the electoral college fucking sucks.
Without the electoral college, the determining factor of the elections would be California, Chicago and New York just because they have more people concentrated in one area. Our system is the best of the best and the people spoke. I’m hurt as well as most of America but the best thing we can do is keep an open mind, accept, and move on.
So what? Why does it matter if the majority of votes come from one area? If most of the people in the country want one person to be president, then that person should be president. Why should it matter where they’re from?
And that’s not even the reason the college was made in the first place. It was made for 2 reasons. 1. The founding fathers didn’t trust the citizens. They thought the citizens were too uneducated to make a good choice. And 2. It’s easier to count the votes of a small group of people all in one place rather than millions across the country when there’s no cars or internet.
In today’s age, neither of those reasons are valid anymore. There is no good reason for the electoral college to exist. If the majority of people want someone as president, that person should be president.
Here is why the electoral college sucks:
Without the electoral college, every single vote would count exactly the same. No vote anywhere in the country would be worth more than any other vote. Now you may ask, but Raymond, isn’t it like this already?
NO. IT FUCKING IS NOT.
Take Wyoming for example. Wyoming has a population of 584,000 people. They also have 3 electoral college votes. This means that each 194,667 votes is worth one electoral college vote in Wyoming. Now let’s look at California. California has a population of 38.8 million people and 55 electoral college votes. This means that it takes 705,455 votes for each electoral college vote.
A VOTE IN WYOMING IS WORTH 3.5X MORE THAN A VOTE IN CALIFORNIA.
It literally takes 3.5 times more votes to get 1 electoral vote in California than it does in Wyoming. How tf is that fair?
Don’t come in here and tell me how it’s the best system and without it the only determining factor would be certain cities. How does that even make sense? Without it, a vote in New York City is worth the exact same amount as a vote in any other city, or town, regardless of population. I personally would like my vote to count for exactly the same as anyone else. My vote shouldn’t count as less because I live in a more densely populated city.
HELP PLANNED PARENTHOOD
Help protect the rights of our country’s women by buying one of my “I Stand With My Sisters” prints. 100% of the profit (aside from the cost of printing and shipping) will be donated to Planned Parenthood. This 5″ x 5″ print can act as physical reminder to support ALL of your sisters in our time of need, especially your POC, LGBT, Muslim, immigrant, trans, and disabled sisters!
Here’s how to donate:
You can send me the money HERE. The transactions will be done through Venmo, my username is @Emma-Hichens. A minimum donation of $5 is required, but please feel free to donate as much as you would like. Again, all payment minus the cost of printing and shipping will go directly to Planned Parenthood. Venmo will add a 3% fee for credit cards, but debit cards are not assessed an additional fee.
(2a) I need to know where to deliver the print. You can go through THIS FORM or privately message me with your full name, email, and current mailing address.
(2b) If you reside in Champaign/Urbana, IL and would like to receive it in person, contact me at [email protected] and we will figure something out. That being said, I will still mail it to you if you live in CU and prefer that option (in which case, refer to 2a).
That’s it! Thank you so much for helping fund something that will benefit the women of this country. Keep fighting the good fight. Sending my love.

Moving forward, I would like to make a variety of different prints to support more causes (benefitting people of color, sexual assault victims, immigrants and their families, etc). In order for that to happen, I need to gauge the interest in this first print. Spread the word and share this to help that come to fruition! Additionally, if you have any suggestions for charities we can donate to or anything you believe could further this idea (quotes/sayings you would like to see, graphics you would like to see), I urge you to reach out to me and let me know. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you to my family and friends for advice/encouragement on this project.
I don’t cry much anymore; I just hold my breath and try and suffocate the feelings before they can suffocate me.
