    I miss dressing up for work, actually seeing my co-workers, and the idea of conversations that is not prefaced with "Hey, do you have a minute?" So done, ugh.

    I start a new job in June and god I can't wait to head back to an actual office. As someone who started working from home way before Covid hit, I've been at my wits' end trying to keep the motivation up, and pretending that my mental health isn't affected by working in isolation

    Sure. In brief, Aurangzeb's name is a dog whistle to signal that it is acceptable to hate and use violence against present-day Muslims. Here's a bit more on how it works --

    How many votes did Brinda Karat and her party get in Delhi? Did that stop her from standing in front of the bulldozer and raising her voice? That’s the difference between treating political activism as a career choice and championing it as a social movement.

    Going to bawl my eyes out when finally ends... I have such a strong mix of memories associated with every season over the years, and it truly feels like the end of something so special. 🥺 🥺

    Still thinking about the random man at Bandstand who interrupted my otherwise peaceful walk to tell me I have a very "athletic structure" 🤮 🤮 and attempted to make small talk. And had the audacity to ask me where I'm going when I picked up the pace and said I'm not interested

    Period leaves are crucial, but while we're at it can we acknowledge the absolute monster that pms is? I want nothing more than to lie in bed, read, occasionally cry, and eat cake.
