Sunset walk on Flickr.

I’m super excited to live down in St. Paul this summer but DAMN Duluth is beautiful. I’ll miss the bonfires on Park Point. :(

"I don’t know if rape jokes encourage rape culture. I don’t care. You still shouldn’t tell..."

“

I don’t know if rape jokes encourage rape culture. I don’t care. You still shouldn’t tell them.

Statistically, if you have told a rape joke to a group of more than five people, one of the people you told it to was a rape survivor, possibly of multiple rapes. They will not necessarily disclose this to you; rape apologism is endemic in society and most rape survivors are cautious about whom they tell. Some may even be too ashamed of their rape to admit it to anyone, or because of rape-minimizing narratives like “men can’t be raped” and “I consented to oral, so I couldn’t have been raped” may not admit it even to themselves. The fact remains: if you’ve told dozens of rape jokes in your life, then you have almost certainly told a joke that minimizes or trivializes rape in front of a survivor.

And if you put as your Facebook status “I totally raped at Halo today” for your two hundred Facebook friends to see, statistically, you have just reminded thirty-three people of one of the worst experiences of their entire lives.

To describe how well you did at a video game.

Good job!

So, I tried yoga for the first time ever tonight.

I believe it was Sivananda Yoga? I went with my boss.

The instructor was impressed with me.

I feel accomplished and special and that’s all I have to say about that.

What they did not want you to ever find out is that your generation, the generation born between 1980-1995, actually outnumbers the Baby Boomers. They knew that if you ever turned your eye towards political reform, you could change the world. They tried to keep you sated on vapid television shows and vapid music. They cut off your education and fed you brain candy. They took away your music and gave you Top Ten pop stations. They cut off your art and replaced it with endless reality shows for you to plug into, hoping you would sit quietly by as they ran the world. We as a society are only as strong as our weakest link. Give ‘em hell, kids.

Holy crap.

I’m leaving for Northern Ireland tomorrow and I won’t be back until May 21st.

My stomach cannot handle the swarm of conflicting emotions I’m experiencing right now.

I just finished Part I of The Hunger Games. Peetaaaa! D:

I read it in just a few hours and that’s really fast for me. Why did I wait so long to read this? Ughh.

I have lost my ability to even.

Goodnight.
