I'm enjoying being alive. Not addicted to a to do list, not thinking of the next goal, not grinding, not trying to take over, not competing. I am simply basking in what life is right now and so, so grateful.

I have literally been saying I don't understand why anyone bothers to buy property in Kenya. Inflated. Corrupt. And you could wake up tomorrow to discover what you paid for isn't even yours anymore. 🗑️

'When students begin to defy established authority it often appears to besieged administrators that 'someone must be behind this,' the implication being that young people are incapable of thinking or acting on their own.' - Howard Zinn, reflecting on Spelman students rebelling

Something I’m not hearing a ton about is that Gallaudet Students, from the historic college for the deaf, are also participating in solidarity encampments in the DMV area.

My clumsy ass would tap yes 😭😭😭

Aimé Césaire: 'No one colonizes innocently, that no one colonizes with impunity either; that a nation which colonizes, that a civilization which justifies colonization—and therefore force—is already a sick civilization, a civilization which is morally diseased.'

This is so funny. Were they not burning witches, beheading their mistresses and spending their extra time torturing your ancestors? Why are you people so desperate to believe that you’re inherently barbaric? Do people not evolve? Do cultures not evolve?

Everyday I wake up and write. In my ig stories. In my journal. In my notes app. I want to exhaust my own story. Exorcise this demon, this rage and this shame. I want nobody to say I didn’t know. The next victim should never question if those hands around her neck were real.
