Just a Black queerdo trying to make it through life. I spend too much money on books. I love Black women so much. I'm in a perpetual state of rage. A troublemaker in my university's School of Social Sciences - I should broaden my horizons.

For those engaging in divestment at a larger scale, don't fall into the trap of new tech when we are still battling with the unethically sourced materials to build it and the effects of that tech in daily life. Yes, I'm talking about the iPad.

I had planned to just do nothing the whole varsity break, but I ended up taking on work I didn't really have the heart for, and now I feel I'm in too deep and there's no way out. I feel I'm being forced to write about things I've no interest in.

I'm just here crying about how my trauma has broken my brain and how the coping mechanisms I used in the past no longer work. My brain won't function the way I need it to. Can't do shit. How do I build the bridge to where I want to be? Can't even read my work. I'm tired.

A thought just came to me about able bodied people seeing people with physical disabilities going about their day, and the able bodied person thinking they need help. Do most able bodied people think a person with a physical disability, through simply existing, is in need of their help?

South Africa may have cut diplomatic ties with Israel, but remember the personal historic and current ties that some of the political parties in the country have to zionists.

My life is so empty. I want to be wrapped up in the things that bring me joy, but that's not realistic. I have to figure out how to make my brain perform basic memory and comprehension so that I can finish this PhD. I need to get a job and get out of my mother's house.

One of my mini succulents is flowering. It should be completely open in the next day or two.

Do you ever feel like your tongue is too big for your mouth?

Woke up 3 hours ago but already want to go back to bed. That's depression for you.

Sometimes it's best to just take a deep breath before taking the next step.

I don't care anymore

I don't want to go home.

@phililen3.bsky.social I've been extremely depressed for a week now, more so than usual. Turns out I'm starting my #period in a few days. #menstrualcycle #menstruation

What do you do when you are depressed out of your mind?

I got upsetting news today. I need to figure out how to make myself feel better.
