good days

Moon or sun? Lake or ocean? Roses or tulips? Silver or gold? Beaches or mountains? Thunderstorms or hurricanes? Past or future? Constellations or galaxies? Morning or night? Winter or summer?

You have no idea how many people lurk on your work. No idea how many times people go back to revisit your work. How big they smile when they simply think about your work. How fast their heart beats, how excited they get when they see that you posted something.

People are shy with their feedback. Sometimes it’s because they’re simply shy. Other times it’s because they assume you already know how great and talented you are. Could be both.

read your emails. especially now, when there’s no other form of communication with your professors (face to face).

don’t ignore the reminder emails that they send every week, and if they’re really nice, notifications of when you miss your assignments. 

read any and every email thoroughly for information about deadlines, instructions for assignments, heads up for grades. it’s not a good excuse to not be ‘tech savvy’. your professors are there to help, and you should be banging down their doors for assistance if you need it. don’t just sit there and say ‘you don’t know!’

Ok, this video is a little different but I just wanted to get something off my chest. I don’t know if this will affect my viewership but I can’t sit here and do nothing.

Breonna Taylor

She was someone who breathed. She was someone who loved. Someone who saved lives.

Why are we using her name as a meme…as some trivial caption…as a tool to increase our viewership? It’s disgusting.

When we use the quote: “Arrest the cops that killed Breonna Taylor” we are essentially using the passive voice. This means our attention is put on Breonna Taylor and Not the three cops that Killed her. 

I Bet most white people who use that quote don’t know the names of the cops themselves.

Instead of using that quote, I suggest…Arrest Brett Hankison

Arrest Jonathan Mattingly

Arrest Myles Cosgrove

Arrest them. Know Their Faces.
