when i took the countries of the americas quiz and i got a low score i was so embarrassed i made a point of taking the quiz over and over until i learned the majority of them... idk how you can just admit publicly that you're that ignorant omg. and people will be defending this ignorance like oh i don't live there...i though africa was a country...wah wah bad school system...meanwhile if someone frm the global south posted smth like 'i didn't know new york was a state' they'd be made fun of relentlessly and get death threats in their inbox

how's the masters going? thoughts on academia?

the master's went! i feel nothing! i hated it! i somehow finished my damn dissertation. i don't really have a working relationship with my supervisor and i don't like him very much so i've been slow wrt getting his comments on my manuscript (i wanna publish, submitted a protocol and everything)

as for thoughts on academia...my key takeaway from all my time in undergrad and masters is not to take academia seriously at all.

(these are all thoughts i've been expressing over time so a lot of my anger and frustration has dissipated, but there are strays here and there lol)

i think more than any intellectual thoughts i have, i'm led by my experience and emotions here. my time in educational institutions + interacting with research fellows, teaching assistants and profs has been absolutely disastrous for how i perceive the world, the people around me, and myself - undid all the grounding and pragmatism of my childhood as well as the idealism of my adolescence.

especially studying here in the UK, the lack of critical thought is absolutely MIND BLOWING. what really ground my gears was *just* how racist profs can be; not overtly so (though some were), but just in how resistant they were to students questioning any paradigms + in how they never acknowledged the power and history behind knowledge production -- doubly surprising since my field is heavy on social science methods and cross cultural competency. and these are the people who get put on boards and panels for studies in the global south. meeting experts irl in some of the most renowned centres and programmes for my field...girl what a joke.

the farce of it all aside, academics are truly some of the most depressing people to hang around. truly corrosive to the spirit. i thought it was just a problem w my field (mental health) but it really isn't! i suppose people doing business or finance PhDs would complain less though. but yeah it all seems to be a sort of insecurity olympics where academics rile against corporations and corporate employees...while behaving in the exact same ways in the exact same work conditions! all while being in massive denial about it. AND while looking down at the same world we analyse from a glass house, without a shred of self awareness.

admittedly i'm still reeling from my biggest regret in life so far (this damn master's degree) but i know that this anger and bias arose out of something genuine. i wanted to quit my field and quit academia for good after i was done w my dissertation lmao. but with time and perspective, i've simmered down a bit. still, i think the only way i can survive in my field and in academia is to treat it like fun playtime. because ultimately that is what it is, like with any field: a bunch of white ppl in the global north treat the world as their cute little playgrounds where they have a silly goofy time while the rest of us break our fucking backs to get anywhere.

(i am taking a big fat break from academia...a far cry frm 19 year old me who was very committed to wanting to do research in this field and was convinced that he had the grit to make it through)

Read 01/10/23 - 03/10/23.

5 stars. A sensational and fantastic book! And if you read all of this review, I’ll send you a gold star sticker in the mail 🌟

To start, as the echoes of covid and all that the pandemic entails continues to reverberate globally, this book arrives as a crucial and timely piece of work. It doesn’t stop at just dissecting the systemic racism deeply ingrained in our healthcare and medicine and science here in the west, but also lays down the urgency of decolonisation, making it essential reading not only fr healthcare professionals but fr anyone concerned about the glaring disparities vulnerable and marginalised populations face.

Sowemimo’s eloquence in unravelling the complex historical roots of modern medicine is well-researched and accessible, and she confronts these uncomfortable truths head-on, forcing us to reevaluate our understanding of modern western healthcare’s colonial and racist past that’s still bleeding into the present. Overall, she presents us w a searingly truthful account that speaks to the heart of the matter.

Sowemimo’s lived experience in this book also really shines through, as a doctor, patient, activist, etc etc, that all infuse authenticity into her overarching narrative. Through her, I was able to further my knowledge and understanding of the stark realities of systemic racism, hidden histories, and healthcare myths that persist today, and her courage in sharing these experiences really underscore the urgency of this conversation.

One thing I really appreciated in the book was her discussion on how we perceive the advancements in modern science and medicine. As she explains, it challenges the prevailing narrative that attributes these advancements solely to individual “geniuses”, who were more often then not privileged white European men, while overlooking, ignoring, and concealing the collective and more diverse contributions that have shaped modern medicine. Like modern medicine is a result of collective learning and collaboration across cultures, borrowed and sometimes appropriated frm different traditions, and this perspective forces us to acknowledge the rich tapestry of medical knowledge that existed long before the advent of “modern” medicine, often held by Indigenous cultures and other marginalised groups.

And by perpetuating this notion that modern medicine is primarily a product of white European male genius, we unintentionally (but also intentionally) erase the contributions of Indigenous and other historically marginalised communities. As Sowemimo explains, this erasure not only distorts the history of medicine but also reinforces harmful stereotypes and power imbalances. Likewise, the deliberate obscuring of the full history of medicine serves a colonial and white supremacist agenda, suggesting that Indigenous and enslaved people lacked the intellectual capacity to care fr themselves before European colonisation, and this viewpoint is not only entirely inaccurate but also incredibly harmful, as it dismisses the resilience, knowledge, and contributions of these communities. As she says, “We believe that Western medicine heralded progress, but the reality is that it could never have progressed were it not for colonial exposure to ‘traditional’ medicine practised in the Global South.”

Sowemimo also highlights a critical issue in the criminal legal system, in that her proposal to seek alternatives to incarceration challenges the conventional notion of retribution, drawn frm her experience as a doctor treating victims of sexual violence. She recognises that our current system in place in the west often fails to provide victims w the necessary tools, such as therapy and monetary reparations, to address the psychological traumas they endure after sexual violence, and this forces us to question the efficacy of punitive approaches, raising important questions about rehabilitation, healing, and addressing the root causes of criminal behaviour. As she says, we must envision a more compassionate and effective way of addressing crime and supporting those who have suffered its consequences, as the current system we have in place is very clearly not working.

I also found a lot of value in Sowemimo’s exploration of another critical issue in modern healthcare: the digital divide. In an age where technology is becoming increasingly integrated into healthcare services, there’s this steadily growing disparity between those who can easily access digital healthcare solutions and those who cannot. This divide disproportionately affects vulnerable populations, including the elderly, the homeless, the working class, and those w limited computer education. She explains that it’s evident that as healthcare services move online, those who are already at risk of poor health are further marginalised. As we continue to build internet-based healthcare solutions, we must ensure that we leave no one behind and work to create a healthcare system that serves all members of society, regardless of their digital capabilities or socioeconomic status.

All up, this book not only exposes the racial biases within medicine but also provides an illuminating perspective on how our world operates and, also importantly, who it serves. It’s a wake-up call that demands our attention, and it’s impossible to read it w/out being profoundly moved. ‘Divided’ has helped further reshape my perception of health and medicine, in a similar vein to ‘Inflamed’ by Rupa Marya and Raj Patel, and if you enjoyed that book you’ll undoubtedly appreciate this work as well. ‘Divided’ deserves nothing less than five stars fr its eloquence, urgency, and the profound impact it can make on our world. My gratitude to the author fr this monumental contribution to our understanding of healthcare, racism, and the pressing need fr decolonisation.

One Word Kim Kardashian Used To Let Kanye West Know The Marriage Was Over, Here’s Why It Works

Kanye West May have saved Kim Kardashian’s reputation with one simple act, but the rapper still walked out in the middle of his wife’s SNL monologue because of one simple word.

The relationship between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West has many well-documented ups and downs in the 13 years since they started dating. They got married. They had four kids. They got divorced. West had multiple public breakdowns while Kardashian held her head high and tried her darndest to stay out of the drama for the sake of her sanity and for her kids. 

While Kardashian and West were together they made headlines globally. Now that they are in the midst of a divorce, they are still making headlines – but of a different sort.

RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About Kim Kardashian’s Emotional Breakdown Over Her Marriage

In October 2021, Kardashian started dating Saturday Night Live’s Pete Davidson and this set West off in a big way. He recorded a diss track, made a video burying a clay effigy of Davidson, and made several not-so-veiled threats on social media, which have since been deleted. 

Understandably, Kardashian hit her breaking point and it was during her monologue on SNL on October 9, 2021, that she uttered the one word that made West walk out in the middle of her monologue and planted the seed of retribution for Kardashian that has been growing ever since.

On the morning of Kardashian’s inaugural hosting of Saturday Night Live, Kanye West had a package delivered to her room. In it was the 2007 sex tape that catapulted Kardashian into fame along with the original computer and hard drive it was on. The tabloids claimed that there was additional footage of the infamous night with Ray J and were threatening to release it. 

RELATED: Why We Need to Talk About the Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian Dating Rumors

Kardashian , now a 41-year-old mother of four children, was understandably upset about the possibility of her kids one day seeing their mother in flagrante delicto. West may have saved the SKIMS founder with this act (if the original owner has never heard of the cloud). However, what happened later that day during her monologue proved it was too little too late. 

What Kim Wanted and What Kanye Wanted Were Too Different

When it comes right down to it, no one is ever going to know exactly what happened behind closed doors (in Kardashian’s world this means the rarely used phrase ‘off camera’). West’s bipolar disorder and resistance to treatment are well documented, a situation Kardashian dealt with for more than a decade.

In the end, what West wanted was a loyal wife but what Kardashian wanted was a loyal friend. She could no longer be the wife West demanded and he proved he wasn’t the loyal friend she craved. 

The One Word That Made Kanye Walk Out on Kim’s SNL Monologue

On October 9, 2021, Kim Kardashian made her debut as a host of Saturday Night Live. By all accounts, she crushed it, coming across as charming, sweet, funny, self-deprecating, and friendly. 

https://b92880c5a51633adac561ec014dd51e8.safeframe.googlesyndication.com/safeframe/1-0-40/html/container.html

One person who did not love the monologue was her soon-to-be ex-husband. As she made light of the media circus that is her life, she joked that the reason she divorced West, ‘the best rapper of all time,’ and ‘a talented, legit genius’ was because of his ‘personality.’ 

But the reason West was so upset and stormed out mid-monologue was not the comment on his personality, it was because she said they were divorced. In West’s mind, she should have said that she ‘filed for divorce’ because he was still trying to win her back and the divorce was not finalized. 

RELATED: The Shocking Truth Why Kim Kardashian Is Leaving Kanye West

While divorce is inevitably hard on anyone going through it, it can be tough on couples in the spotlight. Paparazzi lurks behind every car waiting to catch celebrities at their worst moments. To go through something as heartbreaking and life-changing as a divorce with cameras tracking your every move adds more fuel to a devastating fire. 

Kim and Kanye’s Divorce has been Wild

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce from Kanye West in early 2021. In the aftermath of the filing, West made several high-profile moves to either get back together or creep her out. He made public statements declaring that they were or would be back together. He bought a house across the street from the home he used to share with the family to be closer to his four kids but it also puts him with a clear view of the comings and goings of Kardashian and boyfriend Pete Davidson (whom he’s made threats against).

Oh, and as was revealed on the May 11, 2022 episode of The Kardashians (which was filmed in November 2021), West trolled Kardashian, saying her career was over due to a dress she wore to the Wall Street Journal Magazine’s Innovator Awards. During their marriage, West styled the celebrity superstar, taking her from tabloid fodder to appearing on the cover of publications like Vogue. Now Kardashian wears what she wants and West doesn’t like it, even texting her a photo of Marge Simpson wearing a similar dress, according to Cosmopolitan.

In March 2022, Kanye wrote in an Instagram post that said he hadn’t seen his kids, “This was on my daughter’s back pack (SIC) whe n I was “allowed” to see her last week. This is why I go so hard for family. I am wired to protect my family at all cost as the priest of my home. Don’t worry Northy God is still alive.” 

Kardashian was quick to respond, “Please stop with this narrative. You were just here this morning picking up the kids for school.”

Kardashian has tried to, in her words, take the high road. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, during which the former talk show host commented on how well she’s handling West, Kardashian said, “I think that’s just who I am, and I always had such a good example in my mom and my dad and their relationship. So I’m always just hopeful, and no matter what goes on, it’s the father of my kids. I’ll always be protective. I always want my kids to just see the best of the best. I just try to—as hard as it can be sometimes—I do try to ignore it and try to do whatever’s best for the kids. Take the high road.”

Where Are Kim and Kanye in the Divorce Proceedings Today?

Kim Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021 after seven years of marriage. In March 2022, a judge officially granted her a request to have her legal status changed from married to single. She requested this change in status in December 2021, effectively legally ending her marriage to West. Being declared ‘legally single’ means the divorce is split into two parts. The first is Kardashian’s single status and the second is settling the custody plans for their four children and splitting finances.

RELATED: In Defense of Kim Kardashian: How She Earned Her Riches and Fame – But Not the Hate

As of this writing, no formal custody arrangement or announcement of the finalization of their divorce has been made. In late May, West released the song True Love, which contains the lyrics “Wait, when you see the kids? I’ll see y’all tomorrow/ Wait, when the sunset? I see y’all tomorrow/ Wait, when I pick ‘em up, I feel like they borrowed.” The song continues, “When I gotta return them, scan ‘em like a bar code/ Wait, no hard feelings, but these feelings hard though/ Wait, who got the kids in those ‘What are those?’”

West may think that no good deed goes unpunished and he is the victim in this story, but Kim Kardashian continues to hold her head high during the tumultuous time and favor humor over negativity. Kanye’s fourth attorney recently quit.
