Update and Such

Hello all. I know I've been lax in writing recently, but life has been busy and rather monotonous. However, I find myself with a little time this weekend so I'm going to write a few posts. This first one will simply be an update. I might make a separate picture update, but as I load a lot of pics to twitter and instagram, and I'm not sure where my card reader is, I might not.

My school year ended well. I'm looking forward to the next year. I applied for a funded research seminar for my thesis and got it. My thesis is going to be about the gaps in modern feminism, specifically relating socialist feminist thought and historical figures. I want to look at actual historical women, how their ideas were erased from second wave feminism and how that erasure continues to impact third wave and modern feminism. It's a big project, but I have a start on it because I wrote my history paper on the general topic. I'm also quite excited for it.

This summer I am working a lot. Not only am I working as a barista, which I generally enjoy, but also I am doing research with a friend/my roommate for a faculty member at Simmons for a new edition of a textbook. Both of these will continue in the fall.

The last part of this update is a bit of a disclaimer. My next few posts will likely be about politics or current events. I know some of you will disagree with me, and I'm willing to discuss differences civilly. But, for some of these topics, I don't care about some opinions and I am in no way obligated to listen. And on some level, I just don't care.
