About This Blog
This is a personal blog. It's one part personal stuff, one part media that I'm into, and one part sociopolitical issues I care about.

Things on my mind lately include Battlestar Galactica, the fate of River Song, the challenges of traveling solo as a woman, and how to transcend misogynistic narratives in traditional Appalachian music.

Stuff I typically blog:
→ politics (American and international)
→ international relations
→ social justice (especially intersectional feminism)
→ language & linguistics
→ the Balkans
→ Palestine
→ gymnastics
→ personal stuff
Alison Krauss
fandom

This blog doubles as an Alison Krauss' boobs appreciation blog because for some reason, when you do a Google search for Alison's boobs, my blog is generally the first relevant result. I don't know how this happened, but I will accept it. If people are gonna be googling her boobs, better they find the blog of a fangirl expressing solidarity than that of some skeezy dude objectifying her.

If I ever disappear or get hacked, find me at iellaantilles.tumblr.com.

Pretty much how I love her the most. Perfect snuggly beautiful girl. Her voice is going to chill me the fuck out on the commute to my new job in the morning! I hope. Time to try and sleep…x

Ugh my perfect snuggly queen.

DID ANY OF YOU GUYS PLAY SUPER MARIO N64?

I JUST FOUND OUT THAT THERE’S A GLITCH THAT LETS YOU TAKE MIPS THE BUNNY OUT OF HIS ROOM AND INTO THE CASTLE AND KEEP HIM

AND

I

AM

DYING.

I ADORED THAT BUNNY AS A KID. I CRIED WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE HIM BEHIND BECAUSE YOU COULDN’T TAKE HIM OUT OF THAT STUPID ROOM.

SO NO THESE AREN’T TEARS ON MY FACE RIGHT NOW

I’M JUST LETTING OUT SOME STORED-UP MOISTURE THAT MY SIX-YEAR-OLD SELF LEFT BEHIND

Jesus Christ, I’ve never gotten such feels from two such opposing pairings before.

Queen, Mother, Martyr: Songs for Anne | Away Down the River, Alison Kraus 

I’m just away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Crossing over Jordan to the other shore.
I’ll be standing, waiting with all who’ve gone before
I’m just away down the river
A hundred miles or more… 

SOMEONE PUT ALISON ON A FANMIX FOR ANNE BOLEYN

Mumford and Sons, Old Crow, and Jerry Douglas all did Wagon Wheel acoustically. And I hear it was the absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait to see it!

Aaaaaand I’m done with life.

Somebody make me stop watching scenes from Before Sunset on YouTube.

Patti LuPone’s face when Toby starts to figure out what happened to Pirelli.

Oh god.
