Went for such a fun house party last night. Perfect mix of personal conversations, ridiculous dancing and drunkenness. And I don’t have a hangover today. I hope the scientist experimenting on me so I live in this Matrix perfects this formula so this can happen several more times this year.

Bluesky has all the right political opinions on my feed and feels like a breath of fresh air unlike Twitter’s horrible experience now but I am missing the casualness of Twitter where I could chat with random folks about their lives.

I actually enjoyed Kalki 2898 AD. Yes Hindutva adjacent, annoying elements like a very irritating kid and almost all its visuals are too strongly reminiscent of Star Wars, Dune & Mad Max. That said it was entertaining and some moments gave me the dumb thrills of reading Amar Chitra Katha as a kid.

Rewatched it recently after seeing it years ago and I really appreciated it so much more. It’s being dropped into a fully formed world in a way very few TV pilots since have done.

Seriously. Thankfully I have some South Indian friends but I need someone to understand when I share trash Vijay vs Ajith memes.

Got rejected for a cool thing I really wanted. 😩

I am such a Peter but being in grad school where all my South Asian friends speak non-Tamil languages has really made me ache to speak Tamil (in person since it still happens over WhatsApp).

It will work out!! Fingers crossed.

Someone who knows Sadanand Dhume irl should give him a tight slap. These are rambling school child thoughts written by a prepubescent boy who makes up fake scenarios with toys.

Every day there’s something new and horrendous.

MLA 2027. Four of the then-remaining seven tenured literary scholars, all independently wealthy, delight the audience with fresh takes on the "novel of tariffs." Groundbreaking stuff: Knausgård, Rooney, Pynchon. All panelists agree: "These are no Little Dorrit."

I would love to see the readings if/when you decide to share them!

Maybe in this break I just want to re-read books I love.

Please stop making cringe videos with that "In the clurb we all fam" audio clip. They are not fun cringe videos. They are deeply sinister.

I was upset at getting a B for a paper in a subject that is very much my field/interests & I was told by a prof that grades doesn't matter! They might make a very slight stronger case when you're applying to PhDs but even then it's almost entirely based on SOP + writing sample.

No! Don't worry too much. Grades matter more when you're solely relying on good college transcripts for PhDs/jobs.

Attempting to write an autotheory final paper for a course and it's a mess. Here are some fun diary entries when I hooked up with this person. Let's now bring in some Jóse Muñoz. "I am afraid of aging as a queer person. Elizabeth Freeman says that...

Going to use this essay to explain to my writing and rhetoric students how "I know it when I see it" applies to queer writing particularly when it features a 'gaping hole'.

This is me all the time with India. 😭

Re-reading this for a class and I'd forgotten how vibrant & moving this book is.
