Primer: A Molecule that Serves as a Starting Material for a Polymerization Process

I am born. Now on to the business of growing up. This is my first post, the first of many.
Welcome to my blog, now bookmark me! I will have many enlightening things to say and complain about in the weeks, months, and years to come.

Stay tuned!

But in the mean time, check out my college/political activism/biographical website.

You know it's funny, up until two months ago I had never heard of "blogs." Now I am inundated with them. It started with visiting my poetry instructor's blog and then I read an interesting "hypothetical blog" in The Advocate that was set in 2008. Then I was introduced to Wil Wheaton's blog. After I had published my webpage on UTA's server, I decided I wanted to publish my own blog since I will lose my school website upon graduation this May.

It was so liberating to have a forum for expressing my opinions that I had to continue.

And continue I will.

I have also added her to my litany of reasons for truly despising this fucktard state in which I live. MEMO TO THE GOP: Your true (lack of) colors are showing. Smarmy sanctimonious bastards.

Here's the thing about explicitly disliking a "political other" that the media doesn't want to cop to: There is actually clearly a right and wrong side at this point in history. Once upon a time, the differences in the Democratic and the Republican parties were simply regional and political stances on tax policy and fiscal spending and a myriad of other procedural thingamabobs. Precisely because both parties were inherently and inexorably racist, misogynistic, and LGBTQ-phobic because America  was vastly racist, misogynistic, and LGBTQ-phobic. Some might argue that it still is. And they're right. It is. But it used to be FAR, FAR worse and much more banally violent about it, too. POC, women, and LGBTQ people were freely beaten and murdered, with little
