Interactions with my friends are feeling weird… I’m overthinking all the things and I’m tired. Despite literally not having the energy to expend on worrying if everyone thinks I’m weird, I’m managing to do it anyway.

How to know when you’re doing “enough” as an embodied, liberatory PhD student who has no interest in hustle, grind, or exhaustion?

I can’t wait to move through this funk. Like, I can because I have to, but it’s real funky. Do not recommend. 😒

It’s my Daddy’s birthday! I wonder if he knew. ❤️

I get personally offended whenever I start engaging with a post and it turns out to be an ad. I don’t care what it’s for, as soon as I see “Sponsored,” I’m out 🏃🏾‍♀️💨💨💨

Detecting an “I don’t want to do anything” theme in my life right now. And I have done nothing for most of the day so far, and am about to slowly and gently bring some order to my space. I hope that makes me feel better. Then we’ll see what’s next.

Washed my hair and I feel brand new a little. Next up: 1. Getting dressed 2. Moisturizing my damp hair 3. Finding some sustenance (maybe Moe’s? 🤔) 4. Landing at the library

Okay, now I need Kendrick and his people to get our mans with the Sudan/Gaza protest flag out of jail. I hope they’re already making moves in that direction.

Uh oh. I’ve started messing with my blocking app so I can use IG longer. 😬😰

I keep making my stomach upset!!! Just eating things that my brain says would be good when I know better. Or like my stomach seems kind of on board, but there’s a section that’s not and then I have gas. 😩

America, 1619-2025

Hot chocolate. That’s the skeet. 🤭

I want to get better at leaving a movie that I’m not enjoying. 😒

I keep waking up in the morning and briefly forgetting that the fascism in the U.S. government is out and proud. And then I’m like “damn, we’re really here, huh?” In a way it’s good for them to be saying (and doing) the quiet part out loud.

Anyway, we're here now. We've gotta save ourselves and each others.

This must be read. By every person who cares about the hijacking of this nation. By every Democrat in Congress. @democrats-judiciary.house.gov Thank you @jamellebouie.net. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/o...

May the collective radicalization toward liberation be swift.

Made it to the library: 1. Buy ticket for my friend 2. Send feedback to 3 students 3. 30 min. Instagram break Repeat 2 + 3 until finished, which should only be 3 rounds. Leggo!

I literally don’t feel like doing ANY of the things. But here are the things I need to do: 1. Laundry, mainly because I’m going to dance class tonight and I have nothing to wear 2. Return feedback to 7 students. I woke up at 7:12, then passed out again until 10. Not feeling today, but baby steps.

This (the U.S.) doesn’t feel like a real place. It’s giving surreal out here.

Just settled in a little more here: *theme: dark/dim *font: theme/smaller Hell, yeah. ☺️

Just got some puppy love from Nami, the poodle. Day made. 😌

Okay, I can do an hour on this observation feedback. Me to me:

Oh, this is delicious! 😋

So, I did one thing and now I don’t know if I can do more things. But I need to! 😩😭

Ooof, missed my last 30 minutes of IG scrolling time before my bedtime Opal block and I’m sad about it, but now I guess I have to find something else to do before I go to bed. Maybe read?

Since when has there been a smoothie place on my street? 🤯 Where have I been?? (Answer: inside) I guess I’ll find out soon if it’s good.

Finally picked up Fugitive Pedagogy because the times are screaming for it and find myself even more excited to discover that Jarvis Givens is explicit about his exploration of black embodiment and black feeling in this work on the art of Black teaching.

I feel crappy. I might have stumbled upon a lil burnout. But I will rally to do these student teaching observations and see what my body has to say after that.

I’m co-leading a thing and I notice that while it’s a good thing, it doesn’t really feel good. And I want to understand why. Is it that I don’t want/need to be doing it? Or am I not showing up fully to it? Am I afraid of it? Either way, by 6PM (if not earlier), I’ll be able to release it. 😮‍💨

I asked a friend how a former friend was doing in all of this and knowing how they are was painful, not because they’re doing that badly (relative to *everything*), but because I can’t really be part of how they’re doing anymore. It hurt to know and remember that it’s not my business. Yay, grief. 😒

Also, waiting for my Opal block to end so I can get back on IG.
