Still not liking this new interface... but whatever

Art teacher requires us to make a blog for his class.  That seems simple enough.  Except, like I've said, I'm on the tumblr drug.


I take pride in the clusterfuck that thing is tealrallythong.  It's everything that I am & I update as much as I possibly can.

This, on the other hand, I'm not so certain.

A could copy-paste the about me I have on that blog... but I won't.

I'll just be pretty straight-forward about big interests:


  • photojournalism - since I hope to be in that field.  I'm big on exposing truths & I'd like to partake in the neo-muckraker movement of social awareness eventually
  • food - I'm a fattie
  • profanity - I'll try to abstain here, but no promises [wait I already violated whatever uptight rule "professional" people have created with clusterfuck... oh well]
  • Damon Albarn related music projects - because he is my world.  One of the better musicians of our time.  I mean he's only created a Chinese opera, a magical musical, a cartoon band, 3 or 4 supergroups, his teenage boy band, wonderful song lyrics, & a shitload of other things.  The man just embodies creation.
  • Fringe - the tv show; it is the perfect mix of horror, sci-fy, romance, & existentialism.  Unfortunately it's entering its last season... but it one of the best made things out there.  There's epic cinematography, gory stories, high-end science, & human relationships.  & the latter really makes the show, especially with the talented actors that are really underappreciated by the world
  • Giants - right now I've tapered myself away from that drug since I've been so busy, but it really is an obsession.  
  • Tim Lincecum - especially.  Favorite player.  That kind of rhetoric.  Too bad his pitching has been really not that great as of late.  yeah.
  • reading & writing in general - I'm a nerd.  I write furiously in books I read.  I highlight & underline & jot notes & little reactions.  People get appalled & accuse me of malicious book acts.  Chillax, broski.
  • graphics in general - I don't make them, but I love to just save other people's work on my desktop & gaze fondly @ it from time to time
  • sports... like when the Olympics happened - like that took over my life.  Good thing it's only for 2 weeks
  • "social justice" - it has a bad name, but it's really just awareness of our world @ large.  & I like to be aware.  & just open your eyes.  We DO live in a shady world; a shady world that caters to the patriarchy of white, cis, rich, able-bodied, "attractive" males
  • well artsy fartsy stuff sometimes - I'm a sucker for Jamie Hewlett.  & the impressionists.  & mainly a lot of modern artists.
  • I just like to learn, really
  • I'll stop for now

Right now [like honestly like in the past week or so] I'm really into:

  • Slenderman / SCP related youtube vids - they really give me a good scare; I'm lucky I haven't had any nightmares...  but they're really fun
  • Superjail - it reminds me of Happy Tree Friends, except it has better character development & really intriguing art.  My favorite character is The Mistress, followed by The Twins.  Of course tumblr has given it the Supernatural - Onceler - Homestuck - every anime ever treatment of fetishizing the cis guys & pairing them all together.  That's where all the hate from The Mistress comes from.  It's a shame
  • misandry - I'm kidding I'm not kidding I'm kidding I'm not kidding
  • all the hot people in my sociology 101 class... 
  • I'm on this Damon Albarn kick - it's an unsustainable rate.  I go through these spells, but so does he.  It's not my fault he'll just come out with EVERYTHING @ the same time.  Comeback tour 2.0, the Olympics, Africa Express... & before that he had new Blur material.  & before that it was this other supergroup.  & before that...
  • I wish that TRON: Uprising thing would come back faster - because I'm really into that.  I'm really into TRON in general.
  • Lee Pace looks really hot as the Elven King.  
I think I'm done.

My Letter to Markiplier After His Curtis Lepore Collab

Hey Mark. You're probably not going to see this, given every bit of a mail you get, but I have to get this off my chest.  & you have to know what's happening.  What’s REALLY happening. Let me start off with this: I have been a committed fan since September 2012.  I have been an active member of the community on Tumblr [I remember when it was EMPTY & literally only me & six other people posting videos.]  I have been to a number of livestreams & donated to a number of charities.  I’ve been a part of many Facebook groups that have come & gone.  & I have gotten to know other Markiplier fans in schools & communities that I have been in.  Believe me when I say that I adore you & this channel.  You inspire me to be a better person with your charity work.  You have been the reason I keep going through tough times in my life.  You have been a motivation for us all. However, I have a multitude of issues...

re: VIDEO-GAMING / LP SERIES - This did not age well

I forgot this blog existed. My life is so utterly different now. I used to maintain this blog as a middle schooler, then for a variety of arts classes two colleges ago (you can imagine the cringe I deleted at that time to save face). It was an outlet to my fixations at the time, one of them being the rise of Let's Player content and Gaming Personalities on YouTube.  I was a fan of many content creators. Unfortunately, almost all of them have been subject to extreme scrutiny and various cancellation attempts - for a variety of Valid reasons. I will get into this, don't worry. I have since deleted and/or privated posts singing the praises of these content creators. I don't make those decisions lightly. And in my mind, there's a difference between being embarrassed at the "cringe" nature of my "takes" a decade ago, and wanting to remove any content that praises people who have since been outed as groomers, predators, abusers, racists, and even fascist...

controversial essay response

Discussion prompt: In this module, we briefly touched on the topic of compassion fatigue as it relates to public exposure to images of war and human suffering. With these sources in mind, consider the following question: Can compassion fatigue be reconciled with the need to bear witness? Is it possible to bear witness and reach an audience despite the risk/existence of compassion fatigue?   Use examples from the module content to illustrate your argument. Another element must be considered in order to bridge the gap between the two extremes of bearing witness and experiencing compassion fatigue.  Simply witnessing or exposing situations falls short of what is truly required.  An event doesn’t just need to be perceived; there needs to be a call to action.   If there is no nuance, no greater purpose, exposing or recalling an event becomes repetitive at best, exploitative at worst.  But sadly the formula for conflict photography (identify conflict area, photo...
