The reality of the situation is that the pandemic was an opportunity for this horrible country to address the systemic problems that that the pandemic exasperated. In Philadelphia that was a looming eviction problem, and homelessness. And instead we got a bailout for landlords-

One of my most played songs on Spotify in 2017, the year I graduated undergrad - my most played song of the year was “From States Away” by Major League… and like I’m embarrassed about who I was so down bad about… lmfaooo

i will always stand with protestors in their righteous anger any time they take direct action. i do not care about optics and the opinions of bad faith critics who have never stood up for anything ever in their lives holds no power over me.

Obviously this pales in comparison to US govt & defense co. military support for Israel, but it's not like Goldie was the primary target of the march! Framing this as antisemitic w/o mentioning this context is what people trying to discredit Palestinian solidarity actions want.

This is the organization which Solomonov's restaurants donated over $100k toward in October - providing medical support, food, and personal care items to Israeli soldiers. Goldie was not just a randomly selected Jewish restaurant.

I learned today that South Korean women are doing a full blown birth & relationships strike to combat misogyny and other structural issues in their society, enough that it’s actually statistically affecting birth rates and causing the govt to talk about changing policies.

Hmm…

Refused to read the side effects sheet for the gigantic cocktail of drugs I take to continue to be able to bless you all with my presence. All that matters is “patient is a lovely young woman in normal spirits who presents with cancer.”

[janaya @westboundMFL]

I think the really cool and normal part about being a younger person who’s very ill is hopping on the mychart all hours of the day and reading the charting/commentary about my stupid ass in between sending messages to doctors about things that are happening to my body bc I

[janaya @westboundMFL]

Am I supposed to salute when a stranger says “god gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers”??? am I at war or do I have a disease??? Cancer not combat fellas

[janaya @westboundMFL]

The hilarious part of cancer is that since all your hair is falling out (eyelashes in this case) where do you think they end up?? In your eyes, obvs. I live in a hell of my own body’s creation.

[janaya @westboundMFL]

Reading Eloquent Rage by Brittany Cooper and this quote has me STUCK. “…the power of a good political analysis is that it can be a masterful cloak for the emotional work we haven't done.”

@salmahammoudaa Wait tag me in. I have had some fucked up shape living rooms

[janaya @westboundMFL]

Every time I get cancer I buy myself a present. First time, a stand mixer (cervical, initial diagnoses), second time a white doc martens (thyroid), what should the 3rd time (cervical reoccurrence) be???
