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? I would define misogynoir ...

Froggy Water Bottle Holder

 Hello! How are you? I hope you're doing well. 

Today I'll share a crochet pattern for a froggy water bottle holder. I made this pattern for my HydroJug (not sponsored, but it'd be cool if it was), so you may need to adjust certain parts so that it can fit your water bottle. But, before we begin, please read my disclaimer policy and privacy policy. 


Materials: 5mm hook, weight 4 yarn in green (I used dark green), white, black (you can also use safety eyes that people use on amigurumi instead), yellow or light green yarn, 1 stitch marker, and scissors. 

Bottom: make this the circumference of the widest part of your water bottle, use green yarn. 
Row 1: magic circle, chain 1, 8 single crochet in magic circle, slip stitch into first single crochet, close magic circle, and insert stitch marker into last single crochet. (8) 
Row 2: Increase in every stitch (2 sc in every stitch), move stitch marker. (16)
Row 3: (sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (24) 
Row 4: (inc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (32) 
Row 5: (sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (40) 
Row 6: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (48) 
Row 7: (sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (56) 
Row 8: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (64) 
Row 9: (sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, inc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (72) 
Row 10: (inc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc, sc) 8 times, move stitch marker. (80) 

Body: make this as long as your water bottle, use green yarn. 
Row 1: single crochet into the back loop only of every stitch, insert stitch marker into the last sc. (80)
Row 2-40 (row amount is an estimate): sc into every stitch, move stitch marker to the last sc of every row. (80) 

Eyes: make 2, use green yarn. 
Row 1: magic circle, double crochet 8, close circle. (8) 
Row 2: chain 3, turn your work, 2 dc in every stitch. (16) 

Scleras: make 2, use white yarn 
Row 1: magic circle, double crochet 8, slip stitch into first sc, close circle. (8) 

Pupils: make 2, use black yarn, can be replaced with amigurumi safety eyes 
Row 1: magic circle, single crochet 8, slip stitch into first sc, close circle. (8) 

Attach pupils on top of the scleras, then attach the scleras on top of the eyes. Sew the eyes onto the bag, and make sure there's sufficient space between them. I allowed there to be 1 1/2 inches between the eyes. 

Straps: use green yarn
Row 1: chain 12 (12) 
Row 2: half-double crochet into the 3rd stitch from the hook and every stitch after that, chain 2, turn work. (10)
Row 3-40 (row amount is an estimate): half-double crochet into the back loop only of the 3rd stitch from the hook and every stitch after that, chain 2, turn work. (10) 

Fasten off, and use loose ends to attach straps to the body of the holder. 

Belly Pocket: use either white, yellow, or light green yarn. 
Row 1: chain the width you want your pocket to be + 1. 
Row 2-20: single crochet into the 2nd stitch from hook and every stitch after, chain 1, turn work. 

Fasten off and attach the pocket to the body of the holder a few rows under the eyes. 

Now for some glamour shots! 

Thank you for reading! Come back soon for more words from Willow! <3

“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...
