“It’s initially used self-consciously in a way that says, ‘I’m on Twitter, I’m cool, I know that this is used on Twitter so I’m using this someplace else,’ so it’s conveying a meta-message that you are a Twitter-savvy person,” Ms. Herring said, adding that it’s “almost as if there are air quotes around it.”
This is not your father’s social media, hashtags seem to say. “If I was talking to my...

An Adventure From 4 AM Testing My Sensibilities and Respect and Reverence For Celestial and Earthly Forms of Beauty
Ignoring why I woke up at four thirty this morning and the fact that I drove to my school to pick up a book I need to do my homework, might I say that the moon in California right now is stunning and gorgeous. I’ve never had the experience of leaving my home when it’s...

tookmypearl asked: I would just like to point out that thumbing through your blog, I really do like it. As of late I've been feeling like I really refrained from doing anything intellectual lately - I haven't read much unless forced nor do I engage in particularly deep conversation.
So I like that I can come to your blog and read something that gets my mind working as I don't do this...

I said the word emotion or some variation thereof twenty-two times in my last post. I’m trying to figure out what that means.

Today I had lunch with a friend (it brings me some emotional relief that I can finally call him that now.)

fuckyouprivilegedkids-deactivat asked: yeah, it's mind-blowing that you're applying for undergrad. I'm finishing my last year as a sociology major & i've been super depressed all of winter break struggling with what sociology means to me (originally, i wanted to study stratification & privilege so i could apply these insights to social justice efforts somewhere down the line). i even deleted my original,...
