Just a Black queerdo trying to make it through life. I spend too much money on books. I love Black women so much. I'm in a perpetual state of rage. A troublemaker in my university's School of Social Sciences - I should broaden my horizons.
The thing about being penniless is not being able to afford even one thing that makes you happy. Can't even get myself a bag of coffee. All I can think about is all the debt I have. Still haven't paid school fees for the year. At least in past years, my fees were taken care of through scholarships.

At the hospital to pick up my meds. When I was going through the gate, there were some random people asking to see my ID. Immediately gave the🖕🏿 and carried on to security. Security then asks to see my ID. Has never happened before. So security is in cahoots with the bullshit of enforcing Afrophobia.

For those engaging in divestment at a larger scale, don't fall into the trap of new tech when we are still battling with the unethically sourced materials to build it and the effects of that tech in daily life. Yes, I'm talking about the iPad.

I had planned to just do nothing the whole varsity break, but I ended up taking on work I didn't really have the heart for, and now I feel I'm in too deep and there's no way out. I feel I'm being forced to write about things I've no interest in.

I'm just here crying about how my trauma has broken my brain and how the coping mechanisms I used in the past no longer work. My brain won't function the way I need it to. Can't do shit. How do I build the bridge to where I want to be? Can't even read my work. I'm tired.

The Guardian did a similar thing in a lovely little display of mask-off racism then hastily removed it from the article with no editors note when they were pulled up on it

A thought just came to me about able bodied people seeing people with physical disabilities going about their day, and the able bodied person thinking they need help. Do most able bodied people think a person with a physical disability, through simply existing, is in need of their help?

South Africa may have cut diplomatic ties with Israel, but remember the personal historic and current ties that some of the political parties in the country have to zionists.

My life is so empty. I want to be wrapped up in the things that bring me joy, but that's not realistic. I have to figure out how to make my brain perform basic memory and comprehension so that I can finish this PhD. I need to get a job and get out of my mother's house.
