I just wrong a long rambling post
and then realized that I’m a crazy sick person and deleted it. I have strep throat, yes, but also I’m pretty sure my head is full of, like, horchata or something. I know. It doesn’t even make sense. Haven’t even taken my sleeping pills. Anyway, I’m about to be off tumblr for a moment, graduating from college and recovering from le sickness, but I just wanted to...

AIDS will go away if we stop focusing on AIDS so much. Everybody knows that those notions are ridiculous. Why then do people insist on thinking that racism, which is...

Today,
because good friends are here and because I passed my math class and because even pale, pock-marked skin looks luminous in the light, I didn’t look in the mirror all day And I didn’t think about how I looked And I didn’t care, And I didn’t even bother to pat myself on the back about it until now. How about that.

But actually
seesectionc: my favorite thing is when I go out and I see girls who clearly left the house thinking they looked cute but after catching a glimpse of my look they completely re-evaluate themselves.  My friend Harry does not fuck around. And yes, I am one of those girls.
