iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

In 2025. I think a lot about the failures of feminism, but still very much believe in it. (end)

When the onus is on all of us and within a dynamic that’s equitable. This struggle is physical, mental and emotional, from mothering to sexual gratification. From toleration to the utter bottling of our own emotions (cont.)

And though this has largely changed since I’ve spoken up about it, it has been revealing in how familial gender dynamics under patriarchy perpetuate (internalized) misogyny and this idea that women need to struggle to uphold the family unit (cont.)

I would receive a lot of criticism or pushback on ….almost anything about myself lol, where as my bro he would get by criticism free most times (cont.)

Thankfully the dudes in my fam aren’t (all) jerks and us fem folks aren’t submissive by any stretch, but it’s the subtle things about some of the dynamics that really has me gagged (cont.)

This and the whole storytime (thx for sharing). As someone who grew up with that conditioning straight from the family, I can attest it is truly difficult to deprogram. (Cont.) #academicsky #academicchatter #writingsky

Writing about this. It’ll be clearer what I’m saying soon. (end)

This is reflected in the fact that the systems that be are utterly failing us. Something that I’m thinking about with this “turn around” is the aspect of “ruinousness.” We reflect the ruins of a society when it begins to fall (cont.)

She gives historical context to what we’re seeing from gen z now. The turn to conservatism, which I call “diet conservatism”, she claims is a form of gen zers wanting to “hack the matrix” and not hustle in the same ways millennials do/did (cont.)

Is Gen Z A Flop Generation?

I used to hate speaking in “generationals” when it first became a thing, bc it was giving divide and conquer. It still is, but I think more of us talk with nuance about it now. I like this vid from Becauseimmissy_ on YouTube (cont.) #academicsky #booksky #academicchatter youtu.be/mjHGucZCYU0?...

Believe it or not! The roller skating community often refers to skates as “8-wheels of freedom.” 🛼💨 #skating #rollerskating #skate #skater #rollerskate #Skate #Community #QuadSkating #RollerRink #RetroSkating

At least the rule of law would be upheld, and we’d make progress on winning the war for human rights. It would make our fighting easier (end)

At least there wouldn’t be this rapidly growing precarity, this deepening darkness, this culture of fear (cont.)

100

But at least there wouldn’t be the establishing of a *regime* through fraught-ways of artifice, performance, competent incompetence, and chronic substance abuse In which we become incredibly bound up in (cont.)

It would still be uphill battle after uphill battle And the -isms would persist, which were still not at the midway point of the hill or close to the center of the flank (cont.)

100

But to say that liberals would also conduct the same business as the maggots in a soft girl era is where you loose me (cont.)

I agree with the “liberals and maggots are alike” argument to an extent. To compare them makes sense within the context of a binary and levels of extremity (cont.) #academicsky #academicchatter #phdsky

Treating myself to “Sinners” at the theater later this week as an award bc I need an award #Blackademics #academicsky #academicchatter #phdsky

Bc social awareness has dimmed significantly in the last 20-30 years as hyper-individualism has ramped up to the X-treme. #Blackademics #academicsky #academicchatter #phdsky

Literally. The nail should have stayed in the coffin in 2020. This pedestalizing truly has something to do with fanaticism and religion in the west but my brain can’t today. #Blackademics #academicsky #academicchatter

Not our first and only Black president beginning his two consecutive terms almost 20 years ago. #Blacksky #Blackademics #academicchatter

Omg another person who sees this dilemma. Yes, too much talk and naming of things. Necessary, but…

Thank you!! Thankfully my program is pretty conscious and I just end up with full plates inside and outside school 😭 I need to simplify the things of life maybe lol.

And yes can’t forget the outside world at that. Can’t forget. That.
