I just uploaded a short essay about centrism, connecting it to some characters and storylines from Star Wars. This piece was originally a slideshow presentation, then a youtube video, and eventually became this essay. I had plans to start a youtube channel combining my loves of Star Wars and political theory, but school got in the way and it hasn't happened yet (though I still want to do it). Regrardless, I had a lot of fun writing this essay, and wanted to share something with the world while I eek through my last few quarters of undergrad.

I want to note that my writing expressly isn't non-partisan or unbiased. I have strong political beliefs, and my assertations aren't always going to make immediate sense to a lay reader (though hopefully they will make sense to people interested in this kind of content). This essay, for example, isn't meant to be an unbiased evaluation of centrism; it's a takedown of a political ideology I see as ineffective. If an essay I write is unbiased, I will explicitly state that. Barring that statement, assume my writing incorporates leftist, Marxist, abolitionist, queer, and trans ideology.

Fall quarter this year has been busy. Ruminating on my fast-approaching graduation has left me reckoning with my future career plans, especially my lack of said plans. I never knew what I wanted to do as a kid, I just wanted to be a girl. During high school and early-college, I was too depressed to take internships or fellowships. Now I'm about to graduate, have very little experience in my field, and have a shortage of life plans. All this to say, I'm stressed. I try to write when I can, but life is a lot sometimes. Bear with me, and please reach out.

I just read the book Nevada by Imogen Binnie, and then I read it again, and then I wrote a really short review of it. Read it here! I kept the review purposefully short because I didn't want to spoil too much, but trust me when I say I could've wrote like forty pages about this book. Seriously, if you're a trans girl, please read this book, I cannot recommend it enough.

On another note, yeah, it's been a while. I'm always saying that though, aren't I. My school quarter ended and I went home for the Summer and I had a major depressive episode, so I wasn't really writing that much. I guess I kinda missed my chance to write a review for Trials of the Jedi, which was really good, but yeah I don't think I'll be writing about it here. I did write some poetry, so maybe you'll see that soon, I just kinda have to revise it a bit. My Summer classes have started up, so (almost counter-intuitively) I have a bit more time to write while I'm back at school. That being said, I'm gonna try to get a job, and on top of getting back into dating again I don't know how much time I'm gonna have.

I guess the reason I feel like I always have to apologize during these blogposts is because writing is something I really enjoy doing. I mean, over the past couple years, one of my major aspirations has settled into wanting to be a writer. So it's more like an apology to myself rather than to anyone reading, though I am generally convinced no one is reading this. Maybe I just need to dedicate more time to the things I love rather than watching Seinfeld reruns for the one-millionth time. I love who I am when I'm writing, and I love anyone who takes the time to read this silly little website of mine, so I'll work on it, I swear.

Just uploaded a short essay that I wrote a while back on some contemporary trans issues, and my experience growing up with depression/dysphoria. I think it'll be rather interesting for other tgirls who struggle with body image and the like. It is very personal, so I hope you enjoy it; please let me know if you do, or if you have any feedback. Still have a couple larger projects in the works, so uploads may be sparse (aren't they always though?). Stay posted for more, you just might have to stay posted for a little longer than either of us would like. Anyway, hope y'all've been well :3 ^^
