How Does Misogynoir Effect Black Women?

Hello! This is yet again another assignment that I did for an English class. It’s one of my proudest works and I hope you enjoy it!    Abstract The main topic of this paper is misogynoir, and how it effects Black women and feminine presenting people. We’ll be looking at a series of personal experiences, studies, and definitions to explore this topic. There will be sections that focus on misogynoir in school, workplaces, protesting, and childbirth. I felt that these were some of the most important and/or interesting presentations of misogynoir. There will also be some ways you can help combat misogynoir and be of support to the Black feminine community. Keywords : misogynoir, racism, intersectionality, misogyny, feminism, Black women, obstetric racism, feminine presenting         What is Misogynoir?                First and foremost; what is misogynoir?

2 Simple Crochet Bookmarks

 Hello hello! Today I will be sharing patterns for 2 crochet bookmarks. These are beginner friendly and work up very fast, as I was able to finish both of these within an hour. The first is a beautiful flower and the second is a corner bookmark. Before we begin, please read my disclaimer policy and my privacy policy. 


What you need to know: For both of these patterns, you will need to know how to

  1. The magic circle 
  2. Double crochet
  3. Slip stitch 
  4. Chain 
  5. Fasten off 
  6. Weave in ends 
Materials: Since none of this is very stitch specific, and the corner bookmark will be a triangle regardless of your yarn or hook size, you can use whatever yarn and hook(s) you wish! 

Flower Bookmark



Row 1: Magic circle, 5 double crochets into the circle, slip stitch into circle. Repeat 5 times (not including making the magic circle. You only need to do that once.) Slip stitch into the first stitch to close and chain 40. Fasten off and leave a 1-inch tail. Weave in ends. 

Corner Bookmark 

Sides: make 2. 
Row 1: Magic circle, chain 3, double crochet 2, chain 1, double crochet 3. 
Row 2: Chain 3, turn work, double crochet 2, corner (double crochet 3, chain 1, double crochet 3), double crochet 3. 
Row 3: Chain 3, turn work, double crochet 5, corner, double crochet 6. 
Row 4: Chain 3, turn work, double crochet 8, corner, double crochet 9.

“Passing” by Nella Larsen: An Analysis

  “Passing” by Nella Larsen: An Analysis by Willow V.  Hello! This is an assignment that I did for my Harlem Renaissance American Literature class. This essay is my own original work.            In Nella Larsen’s “Passing” a Black woman named Irene Redfield, who is usually seen as “an Italian, a Spaniard, a Mexican, or a gipsy. Never, when she was alone, had they even remotely seemed to suspect that she was a Negro” (Larsen), finds out that her childhood friend, Clare Kendry, has been passing as White after seeing her in Chicago for the first time in 12 years. There are 3 sections of the novella; Encounter, Re-Encounter, and Finale. The first section, Encounter, includes the event in Chicago mentioned above, along with Irene being invited to visit Clare at her hotel in Chicago where Clare Kendry and her extremely racist husband, John Bellew. Mr. Bellew has absolutely no idea that Clare isn’t actually White, and calls her “Nig” because “When we wer...

Black Swan: A Psychological Analysis

  Hello! This is another original work that I did for one of my past classes. Our teacher had given us an assignment of watching a movie and psychologically evaluating one of its characters, I chose the movie “Black Swan”. Please do not copy this work or claim that any of it is yours. I’ve cited all of my references for this essay in the last section. I would also like to say that some of the content in this post may be triggering for some people, there are mentions of sex, suicide, death, eating disorders, and multiple other mental illnesses. I suggest you look up the trigger warnings for this movie to see if you would still like to read this essay. Remember to take care of yourself and try not to put yourself into triggering situations if you can. I hope you enjoy this essay!  Black Swan: A Psychological Analysis Introduction In Darren Aronofonsky’s “Black Swan”, a New York ballerina named Nina Sawyer goes through a series of trials and tribulations related to her mental hea...

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...
