Fully vaccinated—but I still don’t feel comfortable in large parties. And prefer to be outdoors when I am around 10+ not from my household. Masks are still a thing in almost every setting. The pandemic is NOT over. I feel like people need to hear this.

I was in a U.S. middle school during 9/11. The first protest I ever attended (in highschool) was an anti-war protest in downtown LA. I am so extremely proud of gen-z finally exposing and rejecting the racist and dehumanizing rhetoric of "terrorist/terrorism"

The overturning of Roe v Wade doesn’t end abortion. My ancestors had abortions and people will continue to have abortions. What it does is end reproductive health and crimminalizes abortion…

But, I write with the hope that each word is a chisel — or at the least a scratch— against the prison/border state. Because I know, that one day, we will win. And that makes this all worth it.

I need clarity. Is being a generational perpetually displaced person supposed to make moving for an academic job/position easier or harder? #academicchatter

Dear liberals: pregnant people do not need to be 1.) victim/survivors of rape or 2.) have risky life threatening medical conditions to deserve bodily autonomy and access to safe abortions. Reproductive healthcare should be available and granted for ALL. 1/2

Had a great time checking out the Undoing Time Exhibit at the BAMPFA with the one and only Dr. @jorgenleal . So many great community artists grappling with and contesting the aesthetics of carcerality.
