@arnesa.bsky.social gave an amazing speech on stages of genocide at the National Education Union Srebrenica commemoration event. I was proud of her scholarship and brokenhearted we still need genocide scholars.

I am genuinely so tired of hearing anti-medicine conspiracy theories propagandise about their anti-chemotherapy and “alternative treatments for cancer”. People are dying because of these assholes and their conspiracy theories.

Wealth is built on the backs of many innocent abused workers
It has taken me far too many years to learn that when you are the type of person who truly & deeply cares—about humans, about social justice, about humanity and helping it—there will always be someone ready to exploit you and your work.

You are only good to them while they can exploit you.

I don’t know how I am able to be so continuously and almost constantly utterly disappointed with people.

And even more so, I cannot help but wonder why they continue to behave in ways that are so deeply unethical, immoral, and exploitative. Does it not tire their souls?

Things I have done since returning to social work:

Helped supervise visitation between parents and children while helping the parent learn more about trauma-informed care, autism parenting, adhd structuring and helping the children relax, provide counselling while they relax, provide all the hugs.

It feels so good to be back to myself. To feel strong again. To be sure of myself again. To have goals again. To have an actual plan for the future again. To realise just how deeply horrific these past few years have been for me. How many traumas I had to endure all on my own.

Do I take my child to the Sabrina Carpenter concert for her birthday or…..?

I really do believe that everything happens for a reason. A part of me was really dreading going back to corporate, academia was out of the question and I’ve gotten disillusioned with the non-profit/NGO sector too.

& then one call to fill in for a few days on a social work case suddenly & bam.

How desperate do you have to be to dig up a 5–6 year old video of me—taken after cancer, major surgeries, a hysterectomy, and everything that came with it? That body saved my life. I’m proud of it. I lost that weight & then some. You, on the other hand, are still ugly. Always were. Always will be.

Your so-called “work” is just a recycled mishmash of Chomsky quotes dressed up in faux-intellectual posturing. You parade it around like it’s groundbreaking, but it’s painfully derivative. You’re not a revolutionary; you’re a parrot with a thesaurus.
May 11, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Your insecurities are deafening…so loud I can practically hear them before you even speak. It’s honestly painful to witness. You strut around like we’re in some grand intellectual duel, but let me be very clear: we are not.The desperation leaks from every word you say.

I really think it’s so funny how me talking about how much I like shopping with MY own money that I obtained through working is some “gotcha” but the fact that Kit grifts with a podcast & the “buymeacoffee” donations, all while being paid by Russia TV and other dubious orgs…is actually totally fine.
May 11, 2025 at 4:32 PM
Kit’s meltdowns in my mentions have been mainly funny to me but they are increasingly getting more disturbing.

This whole “prove you’re more pro-Palestinian than I am” weird competition he has placed himself in with me is wild considering the fact that people are literally dying.

It’s so gross.
May 11, 2025 at 4:00 PM
Sending me the same insult twice is really a new low.

Anyway…bla bla bla you look like a thumb with a mustache that got a little too cozy with some pubic hair…

I have stuff to do, my dear thumb! Feel free to continue your meltdown elsewhere.
May 11, 2025 at 3:44 PM
Hahahahahahhaha

you look like a thumb with a mustache that got a little too cozy with some pubic hair like come on now.

It must be amazing to be a delusional Western man who believes stalking and harassing me for almost two years, lying, making up stories, libeling, and defaming me across multiple accounts and platforms gives him the right to demand I prove something to him. All while searching for more to defame me.
May 11, 2025 at 3:31 PM
I’m going to say this one final time so that you can finally understand it:

I do not care about you or your imaginations about me. I do not think of you ever until you pop up in my mentions to harass me, something you’ve done repeatedly the minute I mentioned the Bosnian Genocide & Palestine.
May 11, 2025 at 3:17 PM
Funny, because following October 7th, it was a Palestinian organisation that reached out to ME…not you. My followers were already Palestinian as were my friends.

No Palestinian, no Bosniak, no Serbian, no Black or Jewish or any person I know has ever heard of YOU…until you jumped into MY mentions.
May 11, 2025 at 3:08 PM
My dude, your obsession with me is genuinely unhinged. Not only have you made multiple accounts in order to evade my blocking of you but you try and find me on every app I am on.

Your weird jealousy of my experience and knowledge is truly pathetic. We get it you’re a paid pro-Serbian nationalist.

Top 5 worst things to experience:

1. Spending hours of your day preparing a wonderful dinner for your family.

2. Missing ingredients for such a meal.

3. Having to stop the meal to go get the ingredients you need.

4. Burning yourself while cooking.

5. Your child not liking the dinner anyway!

I’ve not been this broke in a long time…and it has made me realise just how privileged I have been for a while now. I worked my ass off to get to where I was, to have a stable, peaceful, happy and secure life…and then as an emergency after an emergency occurred…it all went *poof*.

One time I had a friend who was white…okay..but she was a white girl that did that very forced Blackcent…and she still to this day claims its b/c she grew up around Black people.

Meanwhile, we grew up in the same neighbourhood. I also had the same Black friends she did and yet I sound as I should.
