The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.

i've been so fucked up for months i haven't been able to go downtown to pick up my work from last spring from my school's textile studio and they always have a cutoff date like if you don't pick up your old work by x date they toss it and they're pretty strict about that unless you arrange with the studio tech beforehand, and the studio tech doesn't like most people she's pretty curt with most students. not rude but just keeps things professional and a bit distant, a very serious person. but i know she grew to like me over the past few years/warmed up to me a lot and we'd chat a lot about different textile things and she would say really kind things to me a lot which felt rare and special, and she let me have special treatment with some of the equipment because she trusted me to use it properly. and i haven't seen her in nearly a year and i expected her to have tossed my work out when i didn't come to pick it up last fall and emailed her to explain why and dropped off the face of the earth, i made my peace with losing that work and accepted it, it is what it is, i will survive, etc.

but she emailed me earlier this week and said she didn't have the heart to toss my work and has kept it safe in her office for me if i'm ever able to come pick it up and if not she's going to keep it as an example piece to show other students when teaching weaving because it's too lovely to get rid of and my heart swelled like 10 times its size bc she didn't have to do that and it meant so much to me that even a year from seeing her last she was still thinking about me and being kind to me. and i emailed her back and picked it up today and saw her and we chatted for a bit and it was so nice. I love her I miss my school's textile studio and weaving in there and talking craft with her... sigh

The fact I honestly thought I'd pull off playing College Craze and being normal about it, and then less than a week later I've already played it multiple times, made a duel MC au, a Pinterest board, and recreated some of the PopMe pages, is genuinely not lost on me.

the thing abt ur little guys being an inseparable set of 4 is that it makes making physical merch really annoying. like man i cant just make two of them. it has 2 be all 4 of them!! which gets real clunky real fast.

sometimes i feel so hopeless about the world. but then i drive up the hills on a chilly evening as the winters approach, stare down at my town and share a few cigarettes and a few joints with a friend over a cup of lemon chai while our 420 playlists alternate in the background and for a moment there my existence transcends the material.

for a moment there the world isn’t hopeless. i’m none of my social identities and contexts, i’m just a being and force of life flows freely through me. my friend and i don't exchange a word, occasionally smiling at each other. for a moment there i am happy, for a moment there, i find this world worth saving, and for a moment there, i know what being human really means.

ever since my graduation a week ago i've just had this feeling of "damn what now" that won't go away 😭 i have college starting in the fall but it feels so different than knowing i have another year of k-12 to go back to because i'm only going to need to show up on campus on tuesdays and thursdays for like 2 hours. i may eventually get a job once summer's over just to pass the time so i don't go stir crazy
