Last meal and the beginning of a 40-ish day water*...
Ice cream and bananas. MMMMMM BANANAS.
Anyway, starting a water fast later tonight. Doing a bath with some sea salts, a water cleanse, a weight check, quick cleanse in about an hour and then SLEEP. I’ll probably be ordering a glass water bottle sometime within—right now— okay just bought it.
Nice huh? Mom has one and a few people around campus have them too, though not in...

Diary of a would be Medical Examiner: days three...
Okay, I started importing some photos from my phone so I can get some things up here. Probably not very many will be on these posts but just my regular blog.
Thursday and Friday went off without a hitch. Some jokes were made about how my Spanish I class is essentially an easy class for me and that I’m cheating through it. (Since I’m Mexican and Mexicans know proper Spanish.)...
Victim. Survivor?
I was raped. I was victimized. When I sought help, when I looked for something to call myself, pamphlets and blogs and websites gave me a word: Survivor.
I considered it.
Survivor - a person who continues to funtion or prosper in spite of opposition.
Awesome until “in spite of”. In spite of? Really?
“In spite of…” - in disregard or defiance of.
This just...

Diary of a would be Medical Examiner: day two
So, in my English comp class, I was told that I didn’t experience racism while I lived in Hawaii. That it was actually just a reaction from the colonization of the islands. Now, I’m not saying that natives have no reason to still be pissed about that. That’s not my issue. My issue is that my white professor Mark completely disregarded my personal experiences in Hawaii.
Look, I...

Diary of a would be Medical Examiner: the first...
It happened, it was amazing. I may dump my notes on my blog here for future reference because I prefer internet things to physical copies.
I had Spanish and intro to Psych. Even have a project for psych where I write up a case study on my cultural background with a focus on the recent identity crisis I had. I’m affectionately naming it CId, partially for Final Fantasy.
I’ll also...

Diary of a would be Medical Examiner:
School starts tomorrow, I’m excited and nervous. Worried about funds, mostly. I’ll elaborate more on this later.
Edit for elaboration: I’ve been out of college for about four years. This means that all of my friends who immediately went to college when we graduated have graduated this past summer. (Which totally makes me feel like a loser.)
Now, I loved college when I...

Good morning, tumblr. A quick hello to my new followers, I try to be kind of interactive, if you’re willing to do that kind of thing. So, I know it’s kind of early but I need to fix my body clock and I’m a bit on a bollywood kick.
I watched Devdas last night, it made my heart happy.
Going to check out Dil to Pagal Hai, since I really like Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit....

as Barack Obama. Not a single one. Someone I know has a photo up on his Facebook, saying, “This is the best Christmas gift (idea) ever. If I come across these, I’ll sell sheets of 5 for 25 cents.” It was a fucking roll of toilet paper with a picture of Barack Obamas’...

RIP Leslie Esdaile Banks 1959-2011 →
bagogyal:
We have lost an excellent writer and woman of substance. Leslie Esdaile Banks also known as L.A Banks has passed into the light. My heart goes out to her family and Street Team. We support you and mourn with you.
For those of you not familiar with Leslie’s fine work, check out the Neteru series for her interesting take on vampires, angels and werewolves. The Neteru series was the...

A quick apology/update
I haven’t really been too active these past few days because of personal stuff happening with my family.
My aunt (Mina) has dementia/alzheimer’s/ALS/Lou Gherig’s/frontal lobal dementia/the doctors can’t really decide and they don’t really have a treatment plan.
That being said, she’s been sick-er as of late. I.e., pneumonia, general lack of movement in her...
Transphobia Has No Place In Feminism →
cctcd:
“Transphobia has no place in feminism. None whatsoever. You can dress it up in as much theory as you want, you can stick your hands over your ears and deny you’ve done anything wrong, you can wilfully twist the truth into lies, but if you’re transphobic, you have no place in feminism.”
This kind of falls under “My Feminism Will Be Intersectional Or It Will Be Bullshit”....

Confession: I hate hanging out with my Dad because...
Kind of screwed up, eh?
I talk and think about race a lot. And no matter how much I believe in racial equality, I don’t think I’m ever going to recognize Miles Morales as Spider-man.
I’m a Peter Parker girl.
Morales feels like a political move.

I know it’s 3:30 in the morning, so hardly anyone will see this unless they travel back far enough on their dashboard or actually visit this Tumblr, but I just wanted to tell every single one of you thank you. You have all made such a difference in my life already. I am to 20% of my goal and I…
