Starving ppl is an act of war & is so colonial history coded.
It’s a literal war crime according to international law.
However, seeing as the U.S. continues to get away w it, whether it’s mass starvation or illegal occupation, I guess contemporary genocide gets a pass too huh?

Passed my comps with major revisions.
I knew I was gonna get dinged for not focusing on “disparities.”
I’ve resisted public health in that regard & no longer wish to contribute to damage-centered narratives (Tuck, 2009).
We are more than our disparities & my PhD wasn’t dependent on deficit lenses

I recently sat in a class about how important it is to listen to others.
When autistic and disabled folx spoke up about how the things that being said weren’t relevant, we were shut down and told we don’t know how to listen.
Love it.

I been dating someone who reflects both the strongest and softest parts of myself. & y’know how they say you attract your energy? Well, I think I’ve genuinely attracted someone who I don’t even have to explain myself to.
And honestly, I’ve never felt so seen, vulnerable, and accepted in my life.

Too many people keep saying, “They're just trying to get a reaction out of us.” A fascist government is not your petty ex. They don't need a reaction out of you. They're carrying out their agenda whether you react or not. Talking about the administrators of a fascist state like this is so detached.

People trip out bc I work with individuals experiencing homelessness, incarceration, mental health/substance use, child welfare & it’s bc I’ve been through it too.
I work in spaces & with people who walked similar paths as me & that’s nothing to trip about. I’m no different than the people I serve.

It is such a privilege to be so loved and cared for by my hoa aloha. I kēia manawa, my hoa aloha gifted me this gorgeous ribbon skirt in my favorite colors, and I brought out my kihei I made of kapa to engage in cultural protocol and ceremony here in Aotearoa ♥️

Which is a better move?
Signing the NDA and accepting severance?
Or saying to hell with it and flip birds?

If they are really cancelling NSF REUs, then we need to change graduate admissions to exclude or minimize the importance of past research experience. There's just no way to compete unless you are well connected or monied otherwise.
🚨 Many NSF-funded Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) are being cancelled for Summer 2025.

I found a word I don’t like.
Pragmatic.
I feel like it should be pragmatistic.
I make the words extra. I make the words sassy. It’s needs that extra-ness for my brain to comprehend.

I think coming home was a mistake. I’m so triggered. I left home 2yrs ago bc my Dad wasn’t taking care of himself & threatened to shoot himself & I haven’t been back home since. Now, seeing repeated patterns of neglect is something I don’t wanna be a witness to. I just can’t.
