@NewsHour I can’t speak for others, but the music in the background isn’t that bad for me. It’s actually kind of nice. Very much enjoying y’all’s conversation. Thank you for your analyses and labor.

@KempoJesse Happy early birthday!

[Queer Melancholia @queermelankolic]

@KempoJesse This is very true for me too—such a struggle.

@lynam_jessica But I honestly don’t know if the death of the university has already happened—people were calling for it back in 2015—or what. But it does feel like I am and many others are barely holding on to a sinking ship.

@lynam_jessica I feel so much of this—and it’s at my institution too. I get the feeling that it’s pretty structural. And I keep thinking about how to escape this and get out of all the acceleration and intensified isolation and competition. It just isn’t sustainable, and I also burnt out.

@Jordan_T_Camp Why is everyone so scared of grief…

"Melancholy, the rethinking of the disaster we are in, shares nothing with the desire for death. It is a form of resistance...Melancholy reconsiders just how things could have gone this far. In the description of the disaster lies the possibility of overcoming it.” --W.G. Sebald

In the diaspora, there is always a silence between the generations, sometimes it is so loud it keeps secrets from the future.

What does it even mean to be safe and secure in a free falling settler colonial empire rooted in antiblack racial oppression?

[Queer Melancholia @queermelankolic]

@slow_turn_ Well, now I’m curious lol

@SamClarke__ @decolonialcommi It’s just to emphasise that history isn’t a linear path to progress; that class isn’t the only aspect of capitalism that needs addressing; and that cultural, epistemological, and ontological issues must be connected to material analysis.

As for the woman seeking care, her story ends about as well as these things could: after getting jerked around by specialists for a few years, she gave up and went to Sweden, where she finally got her fucking surgery.
