I would date an actor just so I can tell people that my boyfriend’s an actor and then they’d be like “oh? What’s he been in?” And I’d say “me” and raise my wine glass and laugh because in this scenario I’m at a fancy cocktail party.
Listen. You ARE nature. You’re an entire ecosystem. Your flesh sculpted from the dirt. Your blood brewed from rain water. Thousands of creatures living inside of you, on your skin, who wouldn’t be alive without you just like you wouldn’t be either without them. You are born from the forest and the sea. Be kind to yourself.
Please try to stop doubting yourself. Truly. Be confident in the person whom you are becoming.

Countdown to the Massachusetts Bar Exam: 46 Days.
I wasn’t actually super productive today in terms of actual bar studying because I spent the bulk of the day refreshing a writing sample ad coming up with a generic, but still personalized-seeming cover letter, so I can start applying for jobs.
I am officially more than 50% of the way done with my Barbri program, which feels huge. I feel like I know roughly 50% of the material, so, well, I hope that means where I’m supposed to be. I struggle the most with the essay portion of the exam - 30 minutes is NOT enough time to articulate all of the information that they want us to articulate.
day 66 of 100 days of productivity
rest day!! although my decision making app decided i was gonna do chemistry all day so...

throwback to the last few times i actually went out for classes and studied/chilled in cafes. how time flies and how things change within such a short span of time. we’re into the second half of the year. and no, 2020 isn’t cancelled. better days are ahead of us!!
Don’t be upset when someone calls you out on your ignorance; learn from it.
Don’t get angry when someone calls you a racist; become anti-racist and spread that message and knowledge.
Don’t deny it when someone points out your privilege; use that privilege to do good.
Don’t let racism and hatred learnt from anywhere and anyone continue to feed that negative emotion in your heart and open your mouth to spread vile words.
BE THE CHANGE.
PAVE THE PATH.
SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE.
I learned in a Latin Studies class (with a chill white dude professor) that when the Europeans first saw Aztec cities they were stunned by the grid. The Aztecs had city planning and that there was no rational lay out to European cities at the time. No organization.
When the Spanish first arrived in Tenochtitlan (now downtown mexico city) they thought they were dreaming. They had arrived from incredibly unsanitary medieval Europe to a city five times the size of that century’s london with a working sewage system, artificial “floating gardens” (chinampas), a grid system, and aqueducts providing fresh water. Which wasn’t even for drinking! Water from the aqueducts was used for washing and bathing- they preferred using nearby mountain springs for drinking. Hygiene was a huge part if their culture, most people bathed twice a day while the king bathed at least four times a day. Located on an island in the middle of a lake, they used advanced causeways to allow access to the mainland that could be cut off to let canoes through or to defend the city. The Spanish saw their buildings and towers and thought they were rising out of the water. The city was one of the most advanced societies at the time.
Anyone who thinks that Native Americans were the savages instead of the filthy, disease ridden colonizers who appeared on their land is a damn fool.
They’ve also recently discovered a lost Native American city in Kansas called Etzanoa It rivals the size of Cahokia, which was very large as well.
Makes me happy to see people learn about the culture of my country :D
Also, please remember that the idea of a nomadic or semi-nomadic culture being “less intelligent”, “less civilized” (and please unpack that word) was invented by people who wanted to make a graph where they were on the top.
Societies that functioned without 1) staying exclusively in one location or 2) having to make complicated, difficult-to-construct tools to go about their daily lives… were not somehow less valid than others.
This is why I fucking hate it when Europeans make jokes about how they have “more history” than the Americas. “This church is older than your country hahaha.” Actually, it’s older than the country you put there, massacring millions in the process, but go off, I guess.

Take this with you
to all my white followers who stew in unnecessary guilt trying to come to terms with the privilege you have, watch this

A super chill day. Needed some fresh air today so went to the nearby forest park in the neighbourhood. Took a short walk while practicing social distancing, of course. There weren’t a lot of people anyway so it’s good. From where I live, a full lockdown isn’t enforced since people are doing their part to protect themselves and others. Local news have been reporting that we’ve been doing a great job flattening the curve.
Good and simple things are enough to make me happy these days. Super grateful that my fam and I are staying healthy and still able to work.
Feeling Blessed.
As protests against injustice in legal system, discrimination, police brutality spread through the US, it is necessary to educate yourself about these issues.
