FOX NEWS FLIP FLOPS ON WAR ON MARRIAGE HEADLINE
I'm Kristina. I'm the copy chief and a columnist for the Arizona Daily Wildcat. I'm also a pretty big fan of books, cardigans and coffee mugs.
It's hard to get enough of me:

“There is nothing wrong with you. You’re amazing. I love you. When I look at you I see a complex human being with awesome potential but some others will look at you and see a thug. Even if their only evidence is your skin. Their racism relates to larger anxieties and problems in America that you didn’t create. When someone is racist toward you—either because they’ve profiled you or spat some slur or whatever—they are saying they have a problem. They are not speaking about you. They’re speaking about themselves and their deficiencies.”

This is wonderful.

A year of overcoming in review
I was asked by the Daily Wildcat’s opinions editor to write a column for our special “Year in Review” spread in the last issue before winter break. I don’t think any lesson I learned this year was more valuable than the one I learned from Jan. 8, and the year of recovering that Rep. Gabby Giffords and her family have gone through.
It feels a little silly since it’s only the beginning of December, but here’s to working toward a brighter future.
Better. Stronger.
Sometimes when you want to say “chair,” the only word that comes is “spoon.” But not forever. What a lovely sound. Also nice to hear after watching the ABC special with Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and Mark Kelly.
such a needed campaign. i wish they’d have included native americans as well, though, as cultural appropriation of them in costumes is just as awfully common.
Think twice about your Halloween costume.
This was such an excellent campaign that I had to write about it for the Arizona Daily Wildcat. I hope it spreads.

Reproductive rights, not women, need protecting
Classes have begun, the Daily Wildcat is back, I’m pissing off conservative readers again. All is right with the world. Except not really right, otherwise I would irritate much fewer people.
