We talked to the founders from Texts from Hillary, and tracked down the original photographers:
Texts from Hillary is the brainchild of Stacy Lambe and Adam Smith, both communications professionals in Washington, D.C. The Tumblr post features the photo of the sunglasses-adorned secretary of state using her Blackberry paired with various politicians also on their phones, along with imagined texts being exchanged.
Lambe and Smith dreamed up the site over drinks Wednesday night after watching the photo bounce around social networks that day. “We quickly decided it should be turned into a meme (that the two of us would have a laugh about),” Lambe told Yahoo News over email. “The site is meant to be a compliment to Hillary. Hopefully, everyone gets that.”
The story’s out. PS, follow Adam on Twitter and his org’s Tumblr - he does really great work!

I am so sad all the time. It’s like it is impossible for me to be happy. I love him. I really do with all my heart but why do I get the sinking feeling to just run away. I want to run far far away. I want to start over I want a new life. It’s taking everything in me not to go in my car and drive away. I feel like I don’t even know myself as a person.
I want someone to be concerned about me for a change. I never really have a chance to self-reflect on what I really want. I am always doing everything to please others. Even if I’m not sure that’s what I really want.
Sometimes I get the feeling that he hates me or doesn’t even love me anymore now that he finally has me. Maybe this was a mistake but then my whole life has been one big mistake after another.
I wonder if its normal for a person to want to get hit by car everyday when they drive to school. I feel so pointless and nothing I do is ever going to make me feel worthwhile. I’m not happy. How is this possible to be this depressed or even towards the line of suicidal?
Doctors always ask me if I ever felt depressed and I always say no. but I really just want to scream at the top of my lungs yes! I am depressed! I do want to kill myself! Help me! But I just sit quietly and put on a brave face and say no.
I just want to hit the reset button and start all over. I don’t want to hurt anyone and it has nothing to do with anyone else. I just want to slip out quietly and have everyone just forget I even existed.
This is how I feel everyday when I see you
Agreed :)

Me too, darlin’.
Occupy Dublin. Occupy Dame Street is the Occupy movement’s Dublin branch, and they have an encampment in a square outside the Irish Central Bank. Their encampment is also conveniently located near Leinster House (where the parliament sits) and Trinity College.
These photos were taken and submitted by Anthony Keane. Check out his Tumblr here!
You can view the rest of The Political Notebook’s project to gather photography, documentation and experiences from the OWS movements nationwide. (I love photos of protest signs…) Check out the Call for Submissions page and email your photos to me at torierosedeghett@gmail.com!
