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.
twitter.com/ILYKETOTYPNCAPS:
It’s the first time since I’ve been here that the temperature has been under 90 degrees during the day.
It’s like 78 or some shit.
…
I don’t even know if I should be laughing or crying at that fact right now.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.
I MEAN HOW DO YOU CELEBRATE THAT, I’M GOING TO EXPLODE.
Yeah, so…
SOMEONE SEND UP A PRAYER TO JESUS FOR ME.
CAUSE HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS WHEN I’M GONNA GET MORE.
LORD JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL.
Writing on a blog in a coffee shop is weird.
People look at your screen and shit.
I’m dying.
No Netflix…no Hulu…
…
it’s fine.
Y’all got a lot of cowboy hats around here.
And the Latinos and Latin@s outside this hotel window are being loud.
And being fucking assholes.
Please stop yelling out, “DID YOU SAY NIGGA OR NIGGER? NIGGAAA OR NIGGERR?” “I WOULD NEVER SAY NIGGER BRO. I SAID NIGGA.”
…
Why that happen?
Why that have to wake me up?
I HAVE A FEELING I’M GONNA RUN INTO THIS TYPE OF SHIT A LOT MORE HERE.
Which is just…
I don’t even know.
Also, I just turned on CNN and they’re talking about Chavis Carter.
And the police.
They said he shot himself.
They said the police accidentally shot him.
…
The gun discharged accidentally?
…
JESUS TAKE THE WHEEL.
I think I wanna dye my front “bangs” red.
Like, red red.
I think after I move and get bored in Texas, I’ll do it.
“Ally Rainsman really reigned in Gabby in the time of need”— Gabby scored 1/3 of the team’s points. [n-i-h-i-l added]
“She trained with Shawn Johnson which REALLY must have had some effect on her”— many gymnasts have trained under professionals. [n-i-h-i-l added]
“Gabby has a lead…not by much but, we hope she takes advantage of it”—Gabby consistently scored better (on average) than her teammates.[n-i-h-i-l added]
Not to mention they contributed the all-around success to Alexandra saying that she was the clincher… [cum-fraiche added]
and “ooh, lets talk about Jordyn not making the all around ten times more than Gabby being the highest scorer in all four events” [withasideofswag added]
The first Women’s Gymnastics team win since ‘96, but it was deemed “not all that amazing” by NBC.
Airing a commercial featuring a monkey doing gymnastics right after Gabby’s win. During all the commercials for other athletes and their wins they showed appropriate commercials featuring them and their talents. For example: the swimmer Rebecca Soni was featured in her own commercial beating her world record score. Gabby got a monkey.
Also, when Gabby did her vault: NBC on Gabby - “That wasn’t great…but she’ll take it” (she gets the highest score on the fucking thing, a 15.966) NBC on Aly - “That was an AMAZING vault! She’s off to a great start!” (scores very well, but lower than Gabby) Yeah. NBC hates that a black girl won the whole thing. [boehner-trollolol added]
NBC’s “Fab Five” commercial that conveniently forgot she existed [cynical-douche added]
I believe Gabby was also the first American (female) gymnast to win a gold medal in both the group and AA events. As of yet, I haven’t heard much mention of that from NBC/other news networks. [alldolleddown added]
On Raisman’s bars performance, the ending comment was “very good.” On Douglas’, it was “Interesting.” [pluckyduck added]
honestly, these are the subtle ways in which racism is taught. as children, we don’t even notice them, but the effects are undeniable. and they’re EVERYWHERE.
this is how people are taught that people of color are inferior. this is how it starts.
