Gave up on turning in my paper for today. Allowed to turn it in tomorrow for a 10% reduction but I feel like I can take that. Even emailed my TA a heads up.
Concentration absolutely was not happening since, yknow, I was watching militarized police attack protesters in my hometown. Was feeling a little stretched thin already regarding all that but this really sucked.
It was weird. Because. I didn’t know any of the people in those videos. But it felt like I did. It felt like those were my neighbors, my classmates. Getting attacked with the backdrop of the streets and buildings I know and love. Reader, I cried. And I couldn’t stop watching. I couldn’t look away from the systematic injustice that was hurting my people. It felt wrong to.
‘Course, it doesn’t help at all that my best friend who I’ve already been worried about bc she’s an RN has to drive through downtown to get to her hospital. Such a freaking relief when I got the response.
So I gave up for the rest of the day because y i k e s
