My name is Luann. This is my personal blog. It serves to spark inspiration during writer's block moments or to simply get lost in the dwellings of my odd mind.
I can go to school and be ‘the feminist’ and explain things really technically and read about feminist theory. But when you’re really frustrated like if I’m really fed up having to live in a sexist world, I don’t want to read a complicated essay. I want to listen to girls screaming.

Lol truth.
I think for fall term, since my summer term schedule is already set (OMG IT JUST NEVER ENDS) I’m going to try and have a Monday-Thursday schedule. Like, I’d really PREFER that over any kind of schedule. I miss having Fridays off and having three-day weekends!
Oh and I miss my life. How the heck am I going to survive grad school?!?!

Morning Fluff: When a group of Chinese cyclists came across a stray dog sleeping in the middle of the road, they gave her a drumstick, then pushed on with their 1,000-mile ride to Tibet. But to their surprise, the homeless mutt spent the next 24 days accompanying them on their trek.
Xiao Sa, or “Little Sa,” as the cyclists named her, climbed 10 mountains over 13,000 feet high, and she ran on uphill sections where many bikers prefer to take the bus.
The journey now completed, Zhang He, the cyclist who fed her the drumstick, says she is “a buddy and a friend.” He said he “would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home.”
CUTE!!!!

Kang Tongbi (Kang Tung Pih) 康同璧, circa 1905.
The daughter of a Chinese intellectual, Tongbi was the first Asian student at Barnard. After the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, Tongbi returned to China and became involved in feminist causes. Unlike many other women of her class, Tongbi’s feet had never been bound as her parents objected to the practice. In Shanghai, Tongbi co-founded a Tianzuhui (Natural Feet Society) with a female doctor. Tongbi also edited Nüxuebao (Women’s Education), one of the first women’s journals in China, and published a biography of her father Kang Youwei. In the 1920s, she helped organize the Shanghai Women’s Association, which petitioned the Nationalist government in Nanjing for a new constitution under the slogan, “Down with the warlords and up with equality between men and women.”.
