i don't like this summer.

today i am unshakably sad due to

• current events
• third world poverty under first world (corporate) exploitation and self-interest
  
• sexism and sexualization in mass media
• my (temporary 'til fall semester) summertime unemployment
• my dissatisfaction with my current role in the Grrls Project

usually bullet points 1-3 don't get to me, seeing as this is reality and i have to deal, but today i am particularly discouraged. bullet points 4-5 are really weighing me down.

i am also self-conflicted over my gut-feelings to write more, as in, maybe being published somehow someway someday. okay enough.
