They say the eyes are the windows to the soul, but this blog is one of the few to mine.
I'm Kristin. I'm 21 years old. I'm the kind of person who looks down while walking to try to avoid stepping on bugs because I believe that every life is precious. Animals and my loved ones are what my heart beats for. I'm vegan because I respect and love all beings. Stitching words together on paper is my therapy and passion. All I really want to do is to make a difference in the world.

Who is this?
“There is nothing more degrading than turning a beautiful animal into a hunk of rotting flesh on your plate, then, after all that, having the nerve to call her a ‘steak’.”

Student expelled from college for being a lesbian, forced to repay scholarship funds
A conservative Christian college in Omaha expelled a student one semester before her graduation when they found out she was a lesbian — and then demanded she repay them for scholarship funds she had earned.
Grace University has refused to transfer Danielle Powell’s credits to another school unless she pays $6,300, the tuition from her spring semester in 2011, when administrators found out she was gay. Powell would have been the first in her family to earn a college degree.
Michael James, executive vice president at Grace University, justified the college’s actions to The Huffington Post, affirming that its student handbook forebade “sexually immoral behavior.” Quoting from the handbook, James stated:
“Any student involved in sexually immoral behavior, including premarital sex, adultery, and homosexual acts, is at minimum placed on University probation and may be subject to a Judiciary Hearing.”
Powell and her wife started a petition to get Grace University to drop its demands. (By the way, they’re the couple who got engaged onstage at a Macklemore concert — watch the video!) She deserves better than this. Help her out?
Ignorance at its best.

Weird Stats of the Day: Toddlers killed more Americans than terrorists did this year
Opposing Views brings some frightening (though obviously tongue-in-cheek) statistics about the future of America: more American lives have been claimed by gun fatalities involving American toddlers than terrorist attacks this year. In the past five months, a total of 11 people were killed by preschoolers with firearms compared to the four that perished in the Boston explosions — the only terrorist attack to occur this year. We can only hope the NSA will ramp up surveillance on children less than 5 years of age in order to counter this threat to national security.
fuck the war on terror.
