There's been a numbing, sinking, unescaping feeling of dread at the pit of my stomach and the depths of my chest these days that continues to augment on the daily due to the current landscape of the world. Being in high school right now is such an experience in and of itself, I hear so much insensitive, immature, inaccurate, idiotic rhetoric, insults, and straight-up slurring left and right. Reading and any form of intellectual gain or self-actualization is immediately met with accusations of being a "nerd" or how it's some waste of time, which is influenced by the rapid consumption of social media in all of our daily lives. People in my circles are becoming radicalized and desensitized to really, really frightening ideologies that are facilitated through the lack of discernment and punishment for simply just wrong exclusionary statements that are said to attack people's integrity, race, gender, what have you. I am not hearing many positive things going on, and every insane headline I accidentally see, even when I avoid the news (not that that is the answer), is something straight out of a dystopian novel.
It hasn't been a month and a week if I'm correct. Left and right, I see exclusionary, xenophobic, homophobic, transphobic, racist, classist, chauvanistic, and outright outdated policies and rhetoric normalized and spreading like wildfire. We tried to tell ourselves it wouldn't be this bad. It is that bad. And pray to whatever you worship that it won't get worse. But don't leave it at that. Do your part. Please do your damn part.
Volunteer. Donate. Talk about it. Use your platforms. This post is not meant to catastrophize, but to shake you hard and wake you up. When tomorrow comes around, remember the plan. Please look up the "People's Union USA" for more information on the February 28th boycott, and try your hardest to do your part.
We are the people, the masses they fear. We have the power.

It sounds like youāre nervous because you feel like youāre not good enough or donāt know enough. Remember that they brought you on knowing your lack of experience and new-ness to the industry. They know you donāt know! So donāt be afraid to say you donāt know! Go in ready to ask questions and honestly say I donāt know what that is or could you explain that. Iām sure people would love to explain a bit more about what they do and maybe begin to see what they do with fresh eyes. They mustāve seen in you a desire to learn and passion for the industry, that got you through the door, and the knowledge will follow. You may not know, but you will learn.

The Southā¢ļø woke up to snow this weekend. My inner child was so giddy and excited!!! I havenāt experience the magic of snow in so long and itās so nice to be able to experience these things and still feel wonder. Made me tremendously grateful. During my lunch, my boyfriend and I built a snowman. Say hello to ACAB ALI!
