By Bella Takata

Hey everybody, so sorry I haven’t written in a while!! 

I bet you’re all wondering… Bella! Where have you been loca??

Well, it’s a crazy story.

My whole family died and then I got hit by a bus and had to move to a small flotation device in the middle of the Arctic Ocean, but I finally got my computer back so I have more chapters for you all! Sorry the updates have been short, my hands got cut off so I had to build new ones out of seaweed and fish bones and it took FOREVER oof. 

Worst of ALL, my articles have been getting stolen! Last week, my article was published under a different name. I have been feeling pretty underappreciated in my job lately, especially since I haven’t had a single article published with my name on it all semester 🙁 [Editor’s note: this is false]

I think it’s because I’m a strong, powerful woman and they hate that. That’s making me pretty anxious, so I’ve been working really hard on my ENG-210 Diary Studies final project. All semester, I’ve been obsessed with cataloguing my fanfiction circa 2020, all published on the online platform Wattpad. I scour months of content to locate the excerpts which best describe the society of the time, utilizing the feminist lens to observe the impact of the young feminist voice on pop culture at the time. 

Posted below are cornerstones of the feminist voice in my life– the one which my coworkers so clearly desire to silence. Strong women have always been here. Like my idol always says, you’re gonna hear me roar! Hear me roar Grinnell!


Sorry for any spelling errors, English is my first language 😛
