finally got my semester-long grades back - ended the semester with a 4.0. fuck yeah. i worked my ass for this in spite of so many crazy life shifts, and through pure planning and determination too.

I have flopped so many times in making Melee predictions, but I was totally on point with my thoughts on SDJ at the end of last year

What an insane run to WFs they’ve had (beating RapMonster, Hbox, and Cody)

few feelings in recent times have given me as much personal shame as a close friend asking me to sell him on radiohead without me ever talking to him about them. he got my ass

while i have some questions & qualms with the survivor 50 cast i think the same could have been said for HVV and cambodia, and those two ended up being goat tier seasons. i have faith this is gonna be a beast season

i can’t get over how many otherwise reasonable and lovely people i know in my regional diaspora community who have turned into bloodthirsty hawks over the india-pakistan conflict. feels like a mirror version of post 9/11 america

i like where i’m at in life right now but it does suck to be at a point in my life where the thoughts and fears i’d had about mortality started to be harder to ignore. i see it everywhere, either when it actively confronts me via processing horrible news or in more subtle ways
