Alright, full disclosure. I hoard. I hoard people. Before you Google episodes of “True Life: I Hoard…People…?” (spoiler: they don’t exist), and consider signing me up for an intervention (please don’t, it’s my last semester, and I don’t got time for that), remember back to about a year ago when I discussed the airy sensationContinue reading “On Twitter imbalances, being a people hoarder”

A purpose-driven blog
A wonderful friend of mine has RSS alerts set up for this very blog, and takes the sweetest pleasure in reminding me that “reliable content and quality create loyalty”, not site themes or widgets, regardless of the AMAZINGNESS of my Pinterest page. So, to quiet this petulant bestie, I post. Here, world. Another WordPress post,Continue reading “A purpose-driven blog”
XOXO: Live-blogging Gossip Girl series finale
Join me as I liveblog the series finale episode of Gossip Girl! After five years, countless headbands (don’t lie…), and over 100 episodes, the show that taught a public school generation about high society power grabs and super-rich-kid machiavellianism is neatly packing up its LV carry-on bag, and setting out for the wild unknown ofContinue reading “XOXO: Live-blogging Gossip Girl series finale”
Recent article: Substance unsurprisingly lacking in “Real Housewives” reunion special
Any excuse opportunity to turn my reality TV habit into writing is a welcome one! I’ve been into RHONY since season one, day one (for the record: Bethenny all the way). The season finale of season five left me wanting. In short: ‘meh’ and transparent. Even for RH standards. Is it the editing, or the ladies? Continue reading “Recent article: Substance unsurprisingly lacking in “Real Housewives” reunion special”
Boston Fashion Week: Merrily we flow along

Good morning, and good life.
I’ll write whatever I damn please, whenever I damn please, and as I damn please. William Carlos Williams …any questions? 🙂
And now, for something completely different!
A few things have been saving my life lately (aside from the obvious, of course ;-)) 1. My Black Feminist Theories readings. No words. But I’ll try to find them. Essentially, there’s nothing quite as empowering, awe-inspiring, and frightening as reading the stories, histories, research, findings, etc of black women regarding what it means toContinue reading “And now, for something completely different!”

Updates!
Alright, last year. Let’s go. Updates: School has begun *cue the Scream 2-esque freakouts and fear*, I’m still a News editor, but my primary focus is execing New Media. So far, so good! Once I get into my academic groove I’ll be able to focus intensely on NM, and The Daily. Check out JumboSlice, theContinue reading “Updates!”
I’m not much into reblogging (at all), but I appreciate Thought Catalog, and this article speaks to my existence. Especially on the seperate checks. You find out who your real friends are when the waiter at The Cheesecake Factory brings out a group bill.
On writing, life.
Say what you mean, and mean what you say. -my elementary school motto. More relevant now than ever. *** But seriously. Say what you mean, and mean what you say. Think about it. And then put pen to paper, or fingers to keys. #justsaying.
We’re gonna have a good day.
This exchange happened a couple of days ago. I can still feel the dull, throbbing burn. My boss, to me: “Brionna, send me your story ideas for Basic Black?” Me: scours emails I sent to myself, my Google Docs, notebooks for story ideas from earlier in the summer Her (one minute later): “Did you sendContinue reading “We’re gonna have a good day.”
Meanwhile, back at the ranch…
I was ELATED to hear about Elizabeth leaving her EiC position at The Observer to focus on her own endeavors and a startup! Her new endeavor sounds like a worthy undertaking! Under her watch I can tell The Observer has grown by leaps and bounds. She’s truly a self-made woman, a powerhouse, and a creditContinue reading “Meanwhile, back at the ranch…”
Let’s go to the movies! …too soon? Reflections on the cinema in the wake of Aurora, CO killings
FIRST: As we criticize, analyze, and politicize the happenings in Aurora, Colorado a few days back, let’s not forget to PRAY for the victims, both living and deceased, their families, and for changes in the systems of power that spend so much time policing the Hakeem’s and Juan’s of the world that they let theContinue reading “Let’s go to the movies! …too soon? Reflections on the cinema in the wake of Aurora, CO killings”
Reflections on a weekend of film, in light of Colorado shooting
It’s disgusting to read that the Colorado “thing” is done–it’s a story Americans are familiar with, with an almost predictable “plot”–we cry, we mourn, we talk, we talk in circles, we plan, we don’t commit, we move on with the news cycle. But these are lives, not a story du jour. Can we put thisContinue reading “Reflections on a weekend of film, in light of Colorado shooting”

France in Photos
I’ve been home for just over three weeks, and already Talloires feels like a distant, plesant memory, a place I was, once, where I “did” my study abroad, ate some cheese, took some classes, travelled to Paris and around the Haute-Savoie region, went hiking… To people who ask, that’s all Talloires is: a sentence orContinue reading “France in Photos”
So…what’s new with you?
VIDEO: Parapenting magic! What’s new with me (please, feign interest. It’ll make it go by faster): I’ve been in Talloires, France for about a month now, enjoying the sun, the beach, classes, and the nectar of the heavens: French food. I’ve yet to consume something that I downright didn’t like. Yes, I like some dishes betterContinue reading “So…what’s new with you?”
Meanwhile, in France…
Hello, readers! There’s no excuse for my neglect, and for this I’m sorry. The semester ended somewhat messily, but all is done, and behind me. What’s new: I”m a co-exec for the Tufts Daily New Media Department! I’ll still stay on as a News editor, but not on the masthead (can’t be on the mastheadContinue reading “Meanwhile, in France…”
Cleaning out email inbox: journalistic hoarding: E-Hoarding.
Does anyone else do this: save the voice recordings of interviews, talks, etc (all acquired with permission, of course!), on a flashdrive or in your mailbox? What about saving all relevant notes and versions of an article in several word documents? What about keeping all pieces of literature, hand-outs, press releases, or scheduling correspondences inContinue reading “Cleaning out email inbox: journalistic hoarding: E-Hoarding.”
