I don’t know how to post a question on tumblr. I’m having trouble deciding what my topic should be for my final Justice Studies paper. What should I do? I’m unable to pick a topic.
“For your final paper, you will examine a current topic that involves justice. It could be an economic, criminal, human rights topic, or a topic that has an impact on our everyday...

the healthier i am the healthier i want to be
i am somewhat obsessive about washing my hands. it’s not that i have to wash them over and over again, or that i’m bothered by getting them dirty (i was raised on a farm, after all). i just can’t handle the feeling of them remaining dirty after i’m finished doing whatever it was that...

This is why I will never settle for that joke-of-a-contract called a civil union. Nor will I “take baby steps,” nor will I simply “wait for the time to be right” regarding the path I choose to take with my activism.
So here I go.

I’m not straight. Where exactly I am on the spectrum, God only knows, but I definitely like guys, to some degree anyway. I like their smell, their faces, their voices, their bodies, their strength, their courage, their power, their logic, everything.
so perfect.
@Maddow, I expected more from you.
I understand the joy we get from seeing the media crucify the hypocritical, supposedly family-values-loving politicians who fight against gay marriage and simultaneously cheat on their wives (sometimes with same-sex partners). However, the rhetoric is always the same, and quite honestly it’s tiring.

tonight I am lonely, still.
and no amount of watermelon-induced epiphanies can change that.
“Straight boys developed their sense of their sexual self by taking girls out on dates. Everyone, including their parents, validated them for this behavior. Hence, they came to accept it as part of themselves. Gay men, on the other hand, rarely had this experience. In large part, we played the part and took girls to the prom so that we’d fit in, all the while knowing it was a farce....

From the NY Times:
In recent months, Sumatran tigers, which face extinction, have killed illegal loggers pushing into the animals’ territory on the island of Sumatra and have been killed in turn by villagers.
You see, the tigers have a choice: die because they’ve run out of livable habitat, or die because they fight to keep their home. Humanity’s message to all creatures (using “or”...

it’s a warm summer night. dew covers the grass. we’re stretched out on a small blanket at the back of the school. i’m looking up at the night sky, brilliantly bright. all of our notions about pretending to be as good as our idealizations manifest themselves, and the creatures in our chests roar with triumph. we are pretenders, blatantly and deliciously rural in suburban paradise. it’s...

National Day of Silence 2009 Speech
As Co-Director of the ASU LGBTQ Coalition, I (along with my super-fantastic NDoS Committee) organized the ASU Day of Silence.
This is the speech I gave at the “breaking of the silence” event that was held at 5:00 pm, on April 17, 2009.
Keep in mind that this is a speech, not an essay. It probably sounds much better read aloud than read silently, as it should.
