If you're a “decolonial” scholar waiting until you get tenure to denounce Israel’s genocidal settler-colonial project against Palestine, stop calling yourself decolonial. Stay complicit in your silence but don’t call yourself something you’re not.


People keep asking me how the strike is going; this sums it pretty well. What a disappointment. Then again, this is what I expected during a union sanctioned strike where the uaw is policing and suppressing any real disruption.

Being the only brown woman working with a bunch of settlers be like: Am I being micromanaged, or am I being surveilled?👀

But fr, how y'all pro-war but anti-slap?


My best friend’s life was taken in 2020. I still grieve and hurt daily. Grief is complex and unclear in many ways. I honor her name, though it cuts to memorialize someone who should be here. Please share and spread the word about this scholarship. Keep Sylvia’s legacy alive.

i am taking a break from my mental health to focus on my career


UCSC in a nutshell

This’s how racism is deeply ingrained in American institutions including universities. A university will make proclaim its commitment to diversity, declare a Day of Racial Healing, & still eliminate its Afri/African American Studies major while acting as if it’s all normal.

Im tired of the lengths we have to go to in academic writing to prove something is “missing” from history when it was clearly violently erased. Missing is passive. “Lost histories” - “forgotten histories” are passive. All denied histories.


Stay safe Santa Cruz!

Another huge surge in the back harbor. Bigger than the first one. #santacruz



I’m so honored to share space with you @TommyAlejandrez Your story inspires so many 🖤

"For him just to sit down and have a cup of coffee with me, he thought he was doing a random act of kindness. When he did that, he changed my life." Tom Rinaldi shares the story of former Lions LB Zack Follett and how a simple act of kindness from him saved a life.

Students and faculty: “We are not okay.” Admin: “We choose to believe otherwise.”



Please support if you can! Students like myself have been supported through these grants.

As of today we have distributed more than $57,000 to archaeology students in need! The last few months have been particularly hard, donate if you can, spread the word if you cannot, & apply if you are in need. #MutualAid is not charity, it is cooperation, solidarity, & support.
