i’m not sure if we’ve made this clear, but we VVs meet up every sunday for brunch. it’s heartbreaking when one of us can’t make it, usually due to a rugby game (sarah) or the sudden onset of a particularly vicious cold (allie).
this sunday, it was just adina and krista and i that met up in the…

vegan vaginas: austin & good greens! →
veganvaginas:
i am down visiting my aunt and uncle (the loveliest, funkiest pair) in austin, texas this week. if you’ve never been to austin, GO - it is wonderful.
i haven’t been cooking too much since i’ve been here; my aunt and uncle work a lot, so they tend to eat out, and as a result, they seem to…

i’m collaborating with four wonderful friends on a new blog – we are the vegan vaginas (as a group, we’re 1/5 vegan, 1/5 kosher vegan, 1/5 gluten-free vegan, 2/5 vegetarian, and 5/5 vagina). we’re all part of femsex at school, and so on sunday mornings, before our group meetings, we make brunch together, paying heed to our dietary restrictions. we try out lots of fun recipes. we...

austin
is a city that feels very alive. it’s like new york, in that way, but austin is freer – it wears its hair down. everyone mostly wants to be outdoors and sip something refreshing and have fun.
my dad and brother and i flew in today to find a cool, misty afternoon (what a. would call “seattle weather”) and my aunt waving emphatically by the baggage carousel. hooray! we stuffed...
wheeeee!

barnard women are neither better nor worse than columbia students – we got here of our own accord, we are taking the same classes, we work just as hard as the students at columbia college do. we are all a part of the same (great) institution, and when asked which school i attend, i will answer “this one.”
All the new thinking is about loss. In this it resembles all the old thinking. The idea, for example, that each particular erases the luminous clarity of a general idea. That the clown- faced woodpecker probing the dead sculpted trunk of that black birch is, by his presence, some tragic falling off from a first world of undivided light. Or the other notion that, because there is in this world no...

character study #2
my poetry professor’s name is saskia hamilton. she always always always wears black, and has long brown hair that reminds me of feathers. she has young hands and is always carrying a mug of something steamy.
sometimes she speaks with one sleeve rolled up, while the other one falls forgotten at her wrist. she likes to put her hands in her pockets. there is always chalk on her black pants....

"tellement"
is a french word that means “very” and “a lot” at the same time.
there are some days that feel tellement to me, when the sun comes streaming through my windows and i don’t want to put on a coat and i don’t have to, because it’s fifty-five degrees. my first class was cancelled. there is an ice cream truck parked outside of my school. i’m in love...
