Ok but can we talk about how Elphaba not only says she doesn’t want a future with the wizard once she understands that future to be unjust, but she says she CAN’T want it any more? That’s the profound truth of having a real justice and liberation framework. Once you know, you cannot desire it.

When you’re stuck on a project or manuscript, sometimes you just need to talk it out with a friend who has ✨no clue✨ what you’re working on. Explaining context and your inner thought processes to someone is such a game changer! #phdlife #phdsky #academicwriting
