@arb pops up every once in awhile on my recurring 3am cringe spirals.

[ev @pleinedevie]

@arb i was asked, “what are your hobbies?” and i don’t know why i froze/freaked out but i did, and all i could squeak out was I LIKE DOGS.

The relief is because we weren’t sure that a jury in this nation would find White men who clearly lynched a Black man in broad daylight guilty.

So the trauma is real.

We need continual justice, which my father defined as “love correcting everything that stands against love.”

[ev @pleinedevie]

my favorite sunday activity is taking minimum five different naps throughout the day and waking up progressively more panicked and confused after each one as daylight dwindles to darkness.

literally my whole life, white people have struggled not only to say “vietnamese,” but all mispronounce it in the same way. it’s not “vitMAnese,” please try 4% harder.

trying to think of clever tweet about how when facebook and instagram went down my social media career flashed before my eyes and i wondered if this is how it really happens, this is where i finally leave. but anyway IG is back now and i’m not very good at twitter BYE

This shouldn't be a hot take, but in our government it is: We should be increasing our budgets for education, health care, housing, and climate action — not the Pentagon.

first time back in a dept store! asked for a fitting room from someone that didn’t work there. butchered actual salesperson’s name. grabbed a size i used to fit in & laughed creepily in fitting room w/dress stuck on my head for several mins.

yeah. never leaving my home again.

no one:

my asian mom: “please take care of yourself, you look tired.”

[ev @pleinedevie]

“at least you’re consistent” - said no one to me ever.

[ev @pleinedevie]

i’m learning to listen to my body and my intuition when i feel the need to slow down. and accept that it means i’m not always going to meet the expectations of the systems in place around me, and that’s okay.

[ev @pleinedevie]

sometimes i catch myself competing with the ones who are “on” all the time. but i’ve realized that those people either 1. inevitably burn out, (and come crashing down hard when they do), and/or 2. are actually fucking miserable. because we’re not meant to function that way.

[ev @pleinedevie]

when we grind past our limits, something ALWAYS fails. often times the parts others can’t see.

@MaryBadThings miss YOU 🥺

[ev @pleinedevie]

when anxiety and depression team up to convince you that you’re the most annoying, awkward, difficult-to-deal-with person in existence and you go down a dark rabbit hole. if you feel this way today: 1. let this be your reminder that none of it is true, 2. i get it, i feel you. ❤️
