Miss Williams wrote an essay on her impressions of Frederick Douglass’ first autobiography the Narrative of the Life. This was part of an essay contest, but her essay was never entered.

Hello I’m Micole, and I’m beginning a research project, and hopefully also turn it into a documentary, on the sex lives of queer women/female bodied genderqueer people of color. It’s a short 10 question survey, please give as much detail as possible. It explores both race and gender in relation to queer relationships and sex lives. I seems that this particular topic is...
Me: I want to meet this giant turtle (looking at image of a giant turtle).
Alex: No, ew, their heads are so gross. I want it to, like, lotion its head!
transawkward asked: if you were required to eat tacos 16 times a month how would you choose to ration them out?
mindsplatter asked: What are you most afraid of?

Move update
Portland has more ukulele buskers.
Food cost more.
In my first 24 hours I ended up with a pair of rockports and nine pairs of work pants.
Sleep is lacking.
I’m happy.

Hey everyone!
So sometime ago I saw the some Native American Tumblr users having a Tinychat group chat and I thought it would be a great idea that we the Latino/Afro-Latino community also have a chance to talk, get to know, laugh, discuss ideas, etc this upcoming Saturday the 3rd at 8:00PM (Eastern time).
I will be hosting it on my page/channel.
So if you are down please...

i feel sorry for people that don't like reggaeton
Watching Aladdin (for nostalgia and mocking) with my PLP and Daniel.

Alex is horrified, I think I’m brilliant.
love-resist asked: I reblogged your "Tomorrow, I Leave" post but now feel slightly uncomfortable after reading your responses to your asks where you say how difficult it is for you to reveal your emotions. If you don't feel comfortable with having that post reblogged, I want to respect that so let me know.
whereismimente asked: Interesting how we think so much of what might happen in the future. What if this… and what if that… but we’ll never really know if we don’t give it a chance.

Two weeks ago I was called and offered a job that I knew would be a step up for me. A chance to work as an adviser and life coach for non-traditional students (albeit over the phone). While I’m not in love with working with a...

angstiosis said: I’m so sorry. I’m here if you want to talk. I mean that sincerely.
I’m not really good at talking to people about my problems/pain/issues/etc because I have this internalized voice that tells me “You shouldn’t complain, others have it worse” and “you are just being weak, get over things” and “Don’t...

Because really all I need to say is this day has been a very bad day.
