💌 Send this to the twelve nicest people you know or who seem to have a good heart and if you get five back you must be pretty awesome. 💌

Thank you, luvvie! 💛

I’m pretty sure I’ll be late to my own funeral, doing a running jump into my casket like the inconsiderate jerk I am, right before the pastor tells everyone how awesome I was and the choir sings a rousing rendition of “I Luh God.” Please tell everyone that the dress code is all red everything, and check with my best friend to see if you’re on the list of people who aren’t invited, because leave it up to me to be petty from the Great Beyond. If I didn’t mess with you while I was here, I surely don’t need to see your feet at my highly exclusive homegoing.

Tagged by the awesome @sussexualtension FOREVER AGO I am so sorry.

1. Name / Pronouns? Kelly, she/her

2. How would you describe your approach to writing / creating art?

I don’t think I really have an “approach” so to speak? I just let whatever’s in my head come out when it feels like it. Any time I try to take a more deliberate approach, or make an idea happen, it all just dries up. So I guess if I had an approach it would be “it’s gonna marinate in your head until it’s ready, and then you will spend weeks writing it by hand, sorry about that”.

3. Literature / art / films you’d recommend?

I’m not really someone who appreciates art, and I’m so bad at recommending things when I’m not given parameters lmao. But I did just read The Charm Offensive by Alison Cochrun and it was delightful. And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie is one of my favorite mysteries of all time. Big fan of I’m Judging You by Luvvie Ajayi Jones. Her writing is so accessible, it’s like having a conversation with her. The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller is one I slept on for years and I shouldn’t have. Chef’s kiss.

As for films, I am very bad at watching movies. I either do full tilt movie marathons (I watched probably 20 when I was on vacation for Christmas), or I do not watch them at all. My most favorite of all time is Clue. 

4. What are some themes / imageries you like to explore in your work?

I love internal conflict of all flavors and the way those conflicts influence us as people, how they dictate our decisions. Basically character studies is where I think my sweet spot is. I haven’t had a chance yet, really, but I would love to find the right time to explore morally gray areas. I love living between the black and white of situations.

5. What type of art did you make during your childhood?

Not a lot, to be honest. All I did was read books or hang out with my friends. I think I did the occasional drawing, and it was enough to know that I am no artist lol.

6. What are you currently working on?

No writing projects, but I’m working my way through “Listen to Me” by Tess Gerritsen, the most recent in the Rizzoli & Isles series. After that I’ll probably go back to my queer romances, but I needed to break it up a little.

7. Where do you like to write / create art?

Wherever, honestly, but it almost always winds up happening in my down time at work. I also have a lot of snippets of things in my Notes app on my phone from when inspiration hits when I’m taking a hot bath lol.

8. Which writers / artists (dead or alive) would you like to get coffee / brunch / dinner with?

Oooh, um. Maybe Adam Silvera, because I need to know why he thinks it’s okay to make me cry all the time.

An excellent, excellent read. Make sure to watch the video at the end as well.

White women tears are especially potent and extra salty because they are attached to the symbol of femininity. These tears are pouring out from the eyes of the one chosen to be the prototype of womanhood; the woman who has been painted as helpless against the whims of the world. The one who gets the most protection in a world that does a shitty job overall of cherishing women. The mothers, sisters, daughters and aunties of the world’s biggest bullies (white men). But the truth is, white women have been bullies themselves because they’ve been the shadows behind the white men who get all the blame. They have been doing much of the subjugation in white supremacy without any of the accountability, because: innocent white woman is a caricature many have chosen to embrace, even subconsciously. Why? Because it shields them from consequences. We talk about toxic masculinity but there is toxicity in wielding femininity in this way.

This. 100% this. No one is comparing Taylor's assault to others. Time put Taylor on the cover for sales. It’s insulting to the women who have risked everything to be pushed backwards in this article.

Signed Saturdays

I saw Luvvie Ajayi of Awesomely Luvvie and The Red Pump Project talk privilege, friendship, and doing better at the Printer’s Row Festival last year in Chicago, and she had the audience laughing so hard their sides hurt. “The idea that women don’t support each other is trash,” said Ajayi at one point in the program. “All I know are women who support each other.” I had always been a huge fan of her blog, and I was thrilled to get my copy of I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual by Luvvie Ajayi signed.

Signed Saturdays is a weekly series at While Reading and Walking. I’m an avid book collector, and have been lucky enough to meet many of my favorite authors over the years. Each Saturday, I’ll celebrate and tell the story of one of my signed books. Feel free to join in at #Signed Saturdays.

OMG, I’m dead. Really, RACHEL?!!

Luvvie: “ This woman is a troll of the highest form.”

I agree, she’s trolling and it’s disrespectful.
