I was promised flying cars and tech advancement that actually do something for humanity. Instead, we got data centers drinking all of our water and ConEd reducing voltage in the middle of a heat wave like this is the year 1882. I can't.

Back with some Saturday gratitude for the things that keep me going amidst the times we find ourselves in...1) community, 2) a nice cup of Puerto Rican coffee, 3) writing papers from the comfort of my bed, 4) day dreaming, 5) summer Friday picnics in Central Park, 6) my favorite jazz playlist.

Yet another semester of gringo academia recycling knowledge that Caribbean Black Scholars have been writing/researching for a century without citing said scholars. So here I go, another doctoral semester of walking into class and screaming it from the top of my lungs.

Hiiii! @mayor.nyc.gov I know we are currently in the ✨pothole blitz era✨ but after that can we check-in on these train wait times, especially for the A/C lines? (i.e. 12-15min wait for the A-train AT RUSH HOUR? 😭😭) thank youuu 🩵

All newyorkers yearn, on the weekends particularly, is for train service to return to pre-pandemic times. Why are we waiting 15min for an A train on a Saturday? stations are absolutely packed.

Every time we try to get policy that actually helps working people, Republicans say "it's too expensive." That lie has never been more clear. If they can find $1 billion a day to bomb schools overseas, it's not a budget problem. It's a priorities problem.

I have such a visceral reaction to bombarding marketing methods for “big ticket movies” (i.e Wicked, “Wuthering Heights” etc). It makes me not want to watch it. Not that I was going to watch this rendition of Wuthering Heights anyway…like enough, we don’t need a Wuthering flavored popcorn.

De-catastrophizing

What is my anxious thought?
What evidence do I have for this thought?
What evidence do I have against this thought?
What is the likelihood of this happening?
Best possible outcome?
Worst possible outcome?
How would I cope if the worst outcome happens?
Would it matter in a week?
Would it matter in a month?
Would it matter in a year?
After examining the evidence how has my thought changed?

This latest ICE killing looks like a gang initiation! ICE is now the most dangerous gang in the country. They have a mandate by the POTUS to murder citizens. Every other country should treat us as an occupied nation where gov't funded gangs are going around murdering and terrorizing people!
