I had a dream about my maternal grandmother the other night. I haven't seen her in my dreams in a long while. But I needed her. The original Engracia, and she came to me. She came for me🌸🌸🌸

Western media has had a blackout on both Congo & Sudan, & people there have had less access to social media, this is the primary reason why genocides there have not been discussed by Westerners.

Super interesting
Our experience of time is powerfully shaped by boundaries between events (i.e., going from one meeting to the next). But what about time *within an event*? In new work, we find reliable distortions of time based on internal event structure (e.g., beginnings, middles, and ends)! tinyurl.com/n8mn2sn7

Its graduate school recommendation season. So happy to write for some of my undergrad students. Pleased that my aunts partner made it through his surgery. Cancer is rough and I know his recovery will be slow, but one step at a time. My dad has chemo tomorrow, stage 4 liver cancer.

Not once.
No one on earth ever de-escalated a situation by saying “calm down” or “it’s not that deep”
October 28, 2025 at 9:45 PM
Not once.
Update: the surgery was a success! The recovery process will be long, but at least this first step went well. I am relieved 😌
The 12 hour surgery has just begun. Three golf ball sized tumors around the kidney and liver. Holding space for him and my aunt. Fu** cancer!
Tomorrow, my Aunt Maria's partner is going in for surgery. He has stage 4 cancer and golf ball size tumors that have to be removed. They were planning a wedding before this...All this to say, I absolutely hate cancer. So many people in my close circle have or have had cancer. /1
