I often get overwhelmed with decision making nowadays, mostly because I’m so exhausted from needing to have the answers and being alone during processes that require action.
It almost feels shameful to say I look forward to true partnership to fill that void, but I do.
it’s really important to analyze the way social media has regressed your interpersonal communication because it has absolutely shifted the way we speak to each other, our daily manners, and how we conflict.
tonight is the first time I’ve really cooked for myself since nyayom died six weeks ago. lentil soup and roasted potatoes. also seasoned wings i’ll fry tomorrow.
i survived the first two weeks w/ door dash gift cards from friends & bogo jamaican entrees. then i traveled for the funeral so my mom was feeding me for two weeks. and i came back to new york w/ a cooler of her food.
The NYPD is sending undercovers and/or informants online to pretend to be interested in donating to Gaza to start conversations with Palestinians inside Gaza and in the U.S.
As we talk about what happened at Cornell, there is a young Black woman student Kendall Francis down at LSU who also came forward this month to talk about the way LSU mishandled her report of sexual assault from a football player. She reported the assault immediately, went to the hospital and had a kit done. The school found him liable (Title IX); he admitted it. He was suspended but not for as long as is standard. Appealed. He was allowed to return to football, despite the finding.
one of the hardest things about living with sexual trauma is being re-traumatized every time there’s a heavily publicized case in the news. watching people litigate and demonize other victims. makes you wonder what the point of any of it is, if it’s even worth speaking up at all.
also convenient discourse timing as millions are being kicked off of medicaid & disability rights are being dismantled. gee i wonder why there would be a concerted effort to dehumanize & discredit a marginalized group of people as the gov is actively stripping them of support
Three months ago, we warned Sudan was facing three crises at once: a record El Nino, a war nobody with real power wants to end, and a health system already gone. We said the window to prepare would close by August. It closed. Here's what actually happened.
Working on an archival project and found these photos of my Granny and her queer community from the late 80’s/ early 90’s. It’s so beautiful seeing us love in every era 🥹
When I got sexually assaulted in college the only option Bard gave me was a restraining order type thing where I would have had to tell him my entire schedule so he could avoid me, thereby letting him know where I was at all times
There needs to be justice for this young lady who was failed and betrayed by the administration of LSU. They and the rapist need exposing and shaming.
I don't care who has a problem with this, drag all the demons into the light for their reckoning.
i keep having to remind myself that back to back abusive workplaces and long term un/underemployment stifling my creativity is normal & not a reflection of who I am as a storyteller
@Cornell At Cornell, one person— Christina Liang — handles every disciplinary case, including the Cornell Seven’s and the suspensions of over 40 protestors. Liang wrote in 2025 that “2024 was one of the most challenging years of my career…and it helped me learn that caring less is okay.”
