studying and cuddling

So far today I have done three expository assignments (one for my class on Kant's Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, one for Normative Ethics and one for Gender and Sexuality) and started brainstorming for my essay on Hobbes' Leviathan. Feeling productive but I can't seem to shake the feeling that I am being swallowed whole by the amount of work I have ahead of me. Rococo keeps me sane though.

"real women"

An article I wrote for Base Magazine issue 4 !! I am so grateful for the opportunity to write for such a rad magazine. What Makes a Real Woman? What we’re supposed to think when we see Dove present us with yet another image of able-bodied, symmetrical and curvy women is this: “Wow! This company totally gets me .

happy list

I have been having a hard time lately. My anxiety disorder has taken control of my life, leaving little room for any constructive thoughts. I am overwhelmed with bad feelings (for lack of a better description) and my mind obsessively focuses on what is wrong or why I don't deserve to be happy. So, in an attempt to counter-act my mental illness I will compile photos that make me smile. Here's my happy list:
