Interactions with my friends are feeling weird… I’m overthinking all the things and I’m tired. Despite literally not having the energy to expend on worrying if everyone thinks I’m weird, I’m managing to do it anyway.

How to know when you’re doing “enough” as an embodied, liberatory PhD student who has no interest in hustle, grind, or exhaustion?

I can’t wait to move through this funk. Like, I can because I have to, but it’s real funky. Do not recommend. 😒

It’s my Daddy’s birthday! I wonder if he knew. ❤️
Today in Black History: On Feb. 12, 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was formed by a group of black leaders, including W. E. B. DuBois and Ida B. Wells. A brutal race massacre in Springfield, IL, in Aug. 1908, led to the formation of the group. #BlackHistoryMonth
This Day in Black History: Feb. 12, 1909
The NAACP was founded on this day in 1909 by Ida B. Wells, W.E.B. DuBois and others.

I get personally offended whenever I start engaging with a post and it turns out to be an ad. I don’t care what it’s for, as soon as I see “Sponsored,” I’m out

Detecting an “I don’t want to do anything” theme in my life right now. And I have done nothing for most of the day so far, and am about to slowly and gently bring some order to my space. I hope that makes me feel better. Then we’ll see what’s next.

Washed my hair and I feel brand new a little.

Next up:
1. Getting dressed
2. Moisturizing my damp hair
3. Finding some sustenance (maybe Moe’s? 🤔)
4. Landing at the library

Okay, now I need Kendrick and his people to get our mans with the Sudan/Gaza protest flag out of jail. I hope they’re already making moves in that direction.

Uh oh. I’ve started messing with my blocking app so I can use IG longer. 😬😰

I keep making my stomach upset!!! Just eating things that my brain says would be good when I know better. Or like my stomach seems kind of on board, but there’s a section that’s not and then I have gas. 😩

I want to get better at leaving a movie that I’m not enjoying. 😒

I keep waking up in the morning and briefly forgetting that the fascism in the U.S. government is out and proud. And then I’m like “damn, we’re really here, huh?”

In a way it’s good for them to be saying (and doing) the quiet part out loud.

May the collective radicalization toward liberation be swift.

Made it to the library:
1. Buy ticket for my friend
2. Send feedback to 3 students
3. 30 min. Instagram break

Repeat 2 + 3 until finished, which should only be 3 rounds. Leggo!

I literally don’t feel like doing ANY of the things. But here are the things I need to do:
1. Laundry, mainly because I’m going to dance class tonight and I have nothing to wear

2. Return feedback to 7 students.

I woke up at 7:12, then passed out again until 10. Not feeling today, but baby steps.

This (the U.S.) doesn’t feel like a real place. It’s giving surreal out here.

Just settled in a little more here:

*theme: dark/dim
*font: theme/smaller

Hell, yeah. ☺️

Okay, I can do an hour on this observation feedback. Me to me:

So, I did one thing and now I don’t know if I can do more things. But I need to! 😩😭
