brb putting myself in time out

desperately trying to crane my neck around 180° but i can't get there. she's laughing at me i'm so embarrassed...

sometimes when a youtuber runs out of ideas they'll do some shit like "I Got Tricked By My Friends Into Going Skydiving And It Was Crazy!!!!!" and like

isn't the point of skydiving getting to know a cute instructor and then getting harnessed to her chest and pushed out of the airplane together and noticing that she seems to really enjoy watching you flail around and panic, and then when she finally decides to activate the parachute you spend a few tender moments floating to the ground as she caresses you and tells you that you're so brave and adorable for her?

i feel like nobody understands these things like i do. mr beast should hire me.

im gonna make statements. tired of all the clever people. sometimes you just need to be boring for a time. real ones know..

thinking of ways to remove humor from my life

don't shave against the grain. i have become bloody and sad. my face will be smooth for about 5 hours. the deity that created me is laughing. at my farce.

i went to the dentist and i made sure not to swallow a single time while the lady was working in my mouth, in hopes that it would let her know about my gag reflex. just In Case

I talk frequently about how ignorant most Global North citizens are about the immigration policies of their own and other countries. When my husband and I (Global North citizens of different countries) got married, we had conversation after conversation with people who assumed that by producing our marriage certificate we could simply become residents of each other’s countries— and that we could not be refused residence in each other’s countries, as separating a husband and wife could surely not be allowed. 

More interestingly, a lot of people seem to refuse knowledge about immigration, perhaps because it can’t be integrated into some deep and important picture of the world that they have. My parents can’t make themselves believe that my British husband would get in trouble if he overstayed his visa “just a couple of days” in the US, or that I (an American) would ever get deported from the UK, no matter what the circumstances. This is not only because they believe that British and American citizens, as Global North citizens, are specially exempt from the systems that are “meant” to regulate other kinds of people, but also because fundamentally they believe that government and its processes are rational and just. They must believe that government and its processes are rational and just, because otherwise their whole picture of the world— the means by which they understand it— would collapse.

This is all fairly simple and obvious. What is not so simple and obvious is the way that their privileged ignorance, the hothouse resilience of their fantasy world, is part of a mechanism through which the “work of knowing” in our society is outsourced to the underprivileged. (The privileged do not have to know in a way that disrupts their fantasy, because not-knowing has no consequences for them.) This is an interesting dynamic, because many postcolonial theorists (Sara Ahmed, Dipesh Chakrabarty, etc) have explored how the Global South is typically portrayed as that-which-is-known-by-the-Global-North, and therefore as not capable of knowing. So what does it mean that the tools of regulation remain in the hands of the Global North, but that the knowledge of regulation is a burden borne by the Global South? There is an element here of knowing as knowing-your-place, for sure— learning to be interpellated as the illegal and the undesirable. The knowing that is happening also constitutes the production of the illusive “just and rational” world that sustains the Global North. I’m interested in the way that the dehumanization of the Global South therefore serves to sustain the rational and just Human and humaneness of the Global North. There’s an abjectification that is necessary for this— as anyone who has experienced universal healthcare knows, more just and equitable care/distribution of resources often means that more privileged people get less-nice things than they have been led to expect, so if they want to continue to enjoy the same standard of living allowed them by unjust and non-equitable care, they must rationalize this somehow. And how does one rationalize having been, by chance, born in the right geographic area? One can’t. One must, instead, believe that this is not how privilege is allotted, which required not-knowing that this is how privilege is allotted. 

get it twisted, the only way for you to make friends is to get so good at something that everyone else becomes forced to keep you around. make them need you or you'll be thrown away.
