I feel like my mum named a baby and didnāt really think about me being an adult
I spelt my name differently for a whole year of school because someone else had the same name as me
I love names that you can nickname but mine canāt be

which was embarrassing + frustrating as a child. As an adult I figured out a joke to teach people to say my name correctly and now I really love having an un-nicknamable name + also basically a mononym cos U have probably never met another one of me in Ur life !!

never liked my name growing up because most of elementary school was spent in florida. it was a huge culture shock coming from the north then being one of like two or three kids of color in my class at any given time. i wanted a stereotypical āwhite girl nameā with a middle name like marie or rose. spent a lot of middle school going by daisy.
i also am greatly tired of the ādeja vuā jokes.
my mom got my name from tyra bankās character in āhigher learningā/a tony! toni! tonĆ©! song. i guess thatās cool. she just spelled it very phonetically, which didnt help peopleās mispronunciation of my easy name but (to me) looks very dumbed down on paper (day-JAH) and then people pronounce the j really hard idk.
most of my friends call me day āļø i like that at least. i wouldn't have minded the name raven, and i think my momās other name contender was tia (like sister sister) but that would have kind of rhymed with my last name so im good on that.

in kindergarten i hated my name cuz it wasnāt āordinaryā but by 3rd grade i learned thatās BOOORING (people called me weird, like thats an insult??)
i couldnāt imagine myself with another name but i do wish i had nicknames. sometimes people call me sagey but thatās a rare occasion
i was named sage because of female empowerment š«¶š» sage = wise not just an herb ya smelly bastards

I really hate how dependent activism has become on social media. If you are like me and try to stay off ig etc as much as possible - let the one thing you do for Palestine be talking to your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. The mainstream media is sooo terrible and that is what the older generations are consuming. Talk to the older people in your life and make sure they have an accurate understanding of what is going on in Palestine.

Just watch it. Opened Letterboxd for the first time in ages just to log it and it wasnāt enough I need to scream it from every proverbial rooftop. I will be thinking about this film every day for a long, long time.
