Do it HARD. 2012.
My name is Autumn.
Yeah, like the season.
And at the end of 2011, I made a decision. I decided 2012 is the year of "Fuck it. Do it hard." This blog is dedicated to that. This blog is dedicated to those moments of having the chutzpa to say, "You know what? Fuck it." I mean, aren't we all supposed to die this year or something anyway? Just do that shit already.

I’m in Amsterdam waiting for the last leg of my flight.
Yes.
Yes I am still en route.
And slowly and surely, having my legs shoved up against the back of some asshole’s reclined seat has driven me insane and when I left AMURIKA the sun was going down and now it’s rising and morning has begun and I’m going crazy.
I’M GOING CRAZY.
HUMAN BEINGS WEREN’T MEANT TO FLY EVER.
I HATE BABIES.

[Phone conversation with a client concerning a corporate animation.]
Client: “We don’t want people to think that everyone using our service is black. Can you make most of the people white?”
Me: “They are stick figures, I don’t think there’s going to be any racial profiling.”
Client: “Well you’re using black lines for all of them. We want to see most of them as white.”
Me: “Don’t you think that would look even more racist? Besides, it’s a white background, the white stick figures would disappear.”
Client: “Then change it to a black background and make the black people disappear. I don’t know, just figure it out.”
ADVERTISING.
GOTTA LOVE THAT SHIT.

Gossip
| Her: | People have been going behind my back saying things about me. And then it gets back to me and it's starting to piss me off. |
| Me: | Are these the same people that you told "act white"? |
| Her: | |
| Me: | |
| Her: | Yeah. |
| Me: | Welp, I'm pretty sure that solves that. |
| Her: | What? How? |
| Me: | What do you mean 'how?' I mean, you offended them, you said something offensive so they have a right be angry at you. |
| Her: | |
| Me: | I'm just saying. You can't say things like that and expect people who were offended to be nice to you. C'mon now. I mean, I don't know if you talk to them like that all the time, but- |
| Her: | Yeah, basically. |
| Me: | |
| Her: | What? |
| Me: | |
| Me: | ...I'm not there so I don't know what you really do, but if you're saying stuff to them like the stuff you told me before then it's not really a surprise why they're talking behind you're back. Sorry. |
| Her: | What? No. See. Ugh, no, it's not even like that. It's for some technical shit I messed up on. See, no. Just, no. |
| Me: | Ok. Fine, whatever. I mean, like I said, I don't know what goes on over there, so... |
| Her: | Why do you always go against me, why're you always picking the side against me? |
| Me: | |
| Me: | What? I'm not picking sides I'm just giving you my opinion on why they're probably saying shit behind your back. Damn. What the fuck? |
You’re looking up scholarships for queer POCs

In the middle of an hours-long business meeting with a client to discuss advertising design, she commented on my pregnancy, asked how it was going and then offered to purchase my baby in cash. She said that as soon as her business deal went through, she had planned on finding a pregnant woman who would sell her baby to her.
She told me “this deal is good for millions. I’ll be able to afford the best nanny.”
Wow…
Sounds highly illegal.
Highly.
Illegal.
