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

Be yourself! Not like that. Speak up! Not like that. Relax! Not like that. Advocate for yourself! Not like that. Meet your needs! Not like that. Find what works for you! Not like that. Being different is awesome! Not like that. Find your passions! Not like that. Take care of yourself! Not like that.

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.

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.

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.

TW: g*n violence + SI 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.

I haven’t been home in two years because I left after enduring such a traumatic experience. Now, I’m heading home to care for my Dad who’s in the hospital and have so many feelings about everything that I don’t even know if I’m strong enough to even be headed home. I need my therapist.

I might get fired from my job all while both my parents need medical attention. My Mum’s been in & outta the hospital. My Dad just got admitted. & yet, I might lose my job because I support unionizing & advocated for basic employee rights. & I might lose my job when I have my parents to care for.

I’m Indigenous & a union organizer. For the last couple of weeks, I have received emails harassing me about my job security & union voting. Those messages violates my federally protected rights to unionize. I hope the lawyers come through & this union comes through otherwise, I’m screwed.

Last year, I was in a very dark place. I went from survival mode to giving up. & I share because capitalism expected me to perform. Instead, I stood on boundaries & honored the capacity I did not have to give. So I lost colleagues in the process, but losing them is better than losing myself.

Me: why didn’t you teach me Spanish and Portuguese fluently? It would’ve helped living on the continent. My Dad: you understand though right? Me: 😭😭😭 that’s all I can do is understand. I only speak broken and choppy pidgin Hawaiian, Spanish, Portuguese and can’t respond fluent in any language 🫠

My heart is too soft and I’ve endured far too much to keep enduring anymore hurt, confusion, or instability in my life. I’m only accepting what aligns with me and reciprocates the same softness and grace I give without expectations or transactions. Respect and reciprocity are valuable to me.

I wanna delete everything about you like I do with all my traumas: Forget it ever happened & remain in a dissociative state. The memory of you lost like the other memories I can’t retrieve bc my hippocampus is so inflamed from years of trauma that I never have to be reminded of the memory of you.

Everyone is getting on my arse about getting out there again, tryna play matchmaker, tryna claim me as a partner & I’m not ready. After 6 years of being single, I actually found a human I loved with my whole heart & I’m grieving the loss of that love. & I want everyone to leave me alone now.

The reason why it’s hard for me in the field is because everything is personal. I was that kid in foster care, I was that family with parents who were incarcerated or on substances. I was that unhoused person, and I was all those damn data points that others are so eager to make a living off of.

I’m having an existential crisis because why tf am I doing research as a job? Like this is so gross. I’m gonna finish school because I’m damn near done but I think I’m definitely going back for a clinical degree after this because that was actually more meaningful than whatever ~this~ is.
