Reel Impacts

When a friend and I first started to think about traveling across the US this summer, we realized that it was important for us to find some way to make the trip meaningful, to create an element of social good. The idea sprouted right before graduation: we wanted to spend several months studying the ecological impacts that we’re having on our our environment through the eyes of America’s fishermen. Cody and I are both incredibly passionate about this project and would SO APPRECIATE your help in making it happen! Learn more and support

Passenger Emily Wells

Can’t say why, but I can’t get this song out of my head. I wonder how many listens I can rack up while web-siting all night…?

“

Abortion seems to be the only medical procedure that people want to deny you based on how you got in that situation.

Drove drunk, got in an accident and need an organ transplant? No problem.

Messing around with a gun, accidentally shoot yourself in the leg and need surgery? Of course.

Smoke tobacco for most of your life and need treatment for lung cancer? Yep.

Climb a tree, fall out and break your leg? We’ll fix that right up.

Have sex and get pregnant when you don’t want to be? YOU GOT YOURSELF INTO THIS SITUATION AND YOU DESERVE NO MEDICAL HELP OR COMPASSION! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND YOU WILL DEAL WITH THE CONSEQUENCES!

A piece I wrote about watching the SU game this weekend that fails to mention sneaking into the Sheraton pool, setting off fireworks, or drunk emailing my family (sorry, guys)

Palm Of Your Hand Ingrid Michaelson

Palm of Your Hand — Ingrid Michaelson. When staying up all night to write an article, you need a good sound track. I’m hopelessly in love with this song at the moment <3

“I think journalism schools should have workshops for young female reporters on managing old men who have no game and think, because you’re listening to them intently and probing what they think and feel, that you’re romantically interested, rather than conducting an interview,” says Garance Franke-Ruta, a senior editor at The Atlantic. “Every female reporter I know has had this issue at one time or another.” —The Psycho-Sexual Ordeal of Reporting in Washington

Well, shit.

True love is when someone cleans your horrifyingly messy room for you while you’re at class.

Right now

Campus at 3 a.m. Light sparkle-flaked snowfall. Someone who loves you enough to come pick you up. Sleep-deprived joy. Everything is quiet and beautiful.

Mornin

On the walk to campus this morning I waited at the crosswalk with a girl with braces and that made me sad for her. But then I noticed that she had eyelashes so long that whole snowflakes were getting stuck on them. And that made me sad for me.

Strawberries Why?

“And I am not okay, boys. No, I am not okay.”

Okay, so yes, actually, I am okay. But still confused, and more than a little annoyed.

SOMEBODY’S SUBTUMBLRING! (Oy, I’ve regressed into an angsty high schooler.)
