senior at virginia commonwealth university, walking a thin line between fear and joy at the freedoms (and downfalls) of my upcoming full-fledged adulthood.
it's no longer definable what i blog about but as a person i'm trying to be more conscious of myself and the world (and how we all relate within it).
i'm also a weed smoker and i blog a lot about that too.
disclaimer: none of the photos posted are mine (unless stated) nor am i trying to take credit for them, if you see your work and want credit message me :)

After the Civil War, you pretty much got shot for having one.
Probably because it’s the symbol of a failed rebellion against the federal government, and the Stars and Bars was a fucking battle flag. It had no political symbolism. It was a battle flag. It meant the person carrying it was going to shoot at you.
It was gone for a long time, and guess when it came back. It came back at the start of what we call the ‘Civil Rights Era’, as a counter to the Civil Rights Movement. The flag said, ‘the person carrying this, and the organization behind this person will fight to keep non-white people from standing as equals with us’.
That’s what it means today. That’s all it means today. That’s what brought it back. It has nothing to do even with the Confederacy. The modern heritage of the Confederate battle flag is, literally, I stand and fight against equal rights for people who are not white.
That’s. All.
