"trompe de l'oeil" decieve the eye

A white woman can say that a neighborhood is “sketchy” and most people will smile and nod. She felt unsafe, and we automatically trust her opinion. A black man can tell the world that every day he lives in fear of the police, and suddenly everyone demands statistical evidence to prove that his life experience is real

Words I Learned

 Stentorian: (of a voice) strong and powerful.             “Suddenly the man’s stentorian voice broke into gentler tones;  a women who’s face looked remarkably similar to that of his late wife met his eyes” Coterminous:  having the same boundaries or extent in space, time, or meaning.       “While I reconsidered the my evaluation of the course material as coterminous with elementary school’s Social Studies curriculum as I vaguely recall it, the thought of video conferencing with the professor ignited a slightly more cooperative attitude;  I would at least hear his rebuffs with a devilish sense of humor before reconsidering my campaign against the cost of a meaningless certificate.”

Thistle Magazine Submissions

Hey all :) I’ve been a little to busy to write/post anything lately, but I have been working on an art-focused piece for the Fall Issue of Thistle Magazine. I’ve been working with the team as a burgeoning Art Editor and while I am hard at work on my feature, we are also looking for submissions! The theme for Thistle’s Fall 2015 issue is “HOME.” Submissions are open now until August 7. We accept art of all kinds, writing, collections, and for the first time ever, articles! 

If you’re interested in submitting to Thistle, please do! Right now, we are really interested in receiving art pieces or written articles to feature in this upcoming issue. Art can be of any medium that can translate well to print (physical and digital) and it must pertain to the theme in some way - if you have a creative interpretation, please reach out to us! If you want to submit an article related to this issue’s theme instead, we’d like for it to fall into one of our five categories: Art, Writing, Fashion & Film, Nostalgia, or Wanderlust. Images accompanying your piece are preferred, but not required. Please include all appropriate credits and format it exactly as you’d want to see it in print. The editors of the appropriate section will review all submissions and all contributors will be notified of the decision no later than one week after the submission deadline. Each section will accept 1-2 article submissions. Art, writing, and collection submissions are unlimited, ongoing, and do not have to correspond to the theme. 

Please direct any questions to [email protected] or you can PM me if that’s easier for you  :) 

If interested please submit: here.

Otherwise, sharing and reblogging this post would be greatly appreciated!

FACT #1:  I binge watched like 12 episodes of The Mindy Show today, and feel pretty guilty about it. FACT #2:  Doing so made me realize how much I want plain skrilla bills and some kind of job that I am good at.  I brainstormed what I’m good at today, and there’s a lot of different thing, and i just don’t know how to put them together or make any plans without money and I feel generally really low confidence and high anxiety. FACT #3:  I don’t have a doctor.  Don’t most people have doctors?! FACT #4:  I’m a really talented musician, writer, and comedian but I have had absolutely zero normal, witty conversations with people in like a month.  I’m being so serious I want to drink more coffee or read the Bible but nothing will help. FACT #5:  Things need to change.  I don’t know what to do and I don’t want to wait until the 27th when my ex-therapist (who I should not un-ex because we ex-ed for good reasons) will trade me photo skills for horse therapy. FACT #6:  I’m not having sex and for the most part, unless I’m doing yoga or reading the news, or walking and singing at the same time, I’m not enjoying my alone time. I need good advice.  And to express my opinions for god’s sake.
