So let’s be clear. I can be deemed a domestic threat because I have “anti-american, anti-religious” ideologies and am critical of religious institutions, but the pastor who plead guilty to sexually molesting a young girl gets 6 months of jail time? Yeah, burn it to the ground.

I miss reading casually and I don’t think that makes me any less of an academic to say that. I honestly crave the feeling of staying up until 2am because I am so invested in characters and story lines. I love reading philosophy, but it’s hard and it’s work. I miss turning my brain off sometimes.

I am banning myself from ever drinking a Celsius again. I can handle caffeine, I was a barista for 5 years. I drank a Celsius before work and am literally trembling. I have such bad anxiety and I’m having heart palpitations, if a dog barks somewhere in the hospital I am jumping at my desk!! 😭

Listen, I am a firm believer that we must pay attention to things happening politically and that falling into a dogmatic slumber does not help anyone, but also if I don’t take wellness breaks from watching the news I will crash out. There is so much evil in the world right now.

Me sitting awkwardly outside of the doctor’s office, not wanting to bother them but needing to ask a dire question about a patient. I hate talking to authority figures!

degree and that’s the notes in the background of this picture. Studying philosophy, even in the very beginning, was already beginning to change my outlook on life.

I remember, way before I switched my major from forensics to philosophy, I had started having doubts about my field of study. Like CJ majors were spewing victim-blaming rhetoric and it was so sad and disheartening. It’s funny, because I had to take an “Intro to Ethics” course during my forensics

I specifically see the show as depicting Marx’s theory of alienation! When the show highlights how, in a capitalist society, we alienate the worker from the products of their labor, from their fellow workers/community, and ultimately alienating them from their own sense of who they are as a person.

To those that have seen the Apple TV series Severance - we all agree this is a Marxist critique of capitalism right? Specifically of his theory of alienation? It’s so good, also bringing up questions of the mind-body problem, consent, bodily autonomy, and much more. #severance #marxism #philsky

Me waking up my engineering boyfriend to go over in great depth my hours worked and differential to finally come to terms with the fact that my job underpaid me HELLA and I’m so angry about it. If they try to say they’ll add it to my next paycheck I will actually crash out. 🤚🏻

My new job shorted me almost have my paycheck! Now I have to go into work acting like the bad guy and being all pissed because there’s no way you can micromanage your team to an outrageous extent while also being this incompetent. 😀
