So this is the part where
you learn all sorts of random shit about me that you never really needed
to know, just cuz you're nosy and I'm willing to blab my shit all across
the internet. And you thought that anonymous
sex was bad. Well. we could start with the exhilirating
stuff- you know, the things that they always make you say in go arounds
in classes and conferences that you never remember anyways because you're
too busy wondering if the girl across the room with short spiky hair is
a dyke, and if she is, is she looking at *you*? Yeah, those. I'm 20 years old, a true blue saggitarian
if there ever was one, a junior in the Agriculture
and Life Science school at Cornell
University. I'm majoring in Rural
Sociology, which is one of the more obscure majors out there. For me
it means that I'm studying social justice, ethnic studies, feminism and
oppression and trying to figure out how participatory action fits into
education, research, and democracy. What am I? I'm a queer feminist activist
Indian writer, artist, vegan, dancer, survivor, musician, activist,
and geek extraordinaire. I'm not a big fan of labels defining *who* people
are, but I definitely think that the identities that I claim shape who
I am on a day to day basis. More on identity politics later. I don't really know exactly what I want
to do with my life yet, or at least how the things that I am passionate
about will come together into an occupation. I definitely want to do some
sort of grassroots social justice work, I'm just not sure what that will
look like for me at this point. Me and every other starry eyed idealist,
huh? That's all I'll say about myself for now.
Updates as I think of them.
