The Deeper Game of the Florida Blueprint

So, shit is happening in Florida’s education systems and I need to process. One of the things I need to write through is, what is probably an unknown move, Florida’s approving the requirement of Asian American history in Florida’s public education system. Being AANHPI Heritage Month, it is no surprise that Florida passed legislation related

Processing the Rainbow-phobia

A purely scattered ranting to just get it out of my system after another week of ridiculous politics and continual anti-LGBTQ+ shit. There’s rainbow-phobia going on in America y’all. There is a tidal wave of legislation being presented in state legislatures that is anti-LGBTQ+. Much of this is guised as “protecting the children” or “freedom

Processing 13 February

A meandering ramble to process some things before my biweekly counseling session tomorrow morning. So feel free to ignore the grammar and spelling issues. For as much as of a Wolverine that I am and, if you know me, the struggles I endured while on staff, I equally fell in love with the Green and

Before You Say Amen

Happy Pride Month! One tradition I have for Pride since coming out, is to watch primarily queer films, or works by queer directors and actors during the month. Over the years, and out of all the queer films in the world though, I always watch Prayers for Bobby. If you haven’t seen it, it’s based

Not Just an Alternative Option

Roe v Wade is vital to the health and well-being of people across America and I stand in solidarity and fight for the decision to be held by the people who are in the horrible situation of deciding if they should have an abortion. The act of overturning Roe v Wade instills so many issues:

Happy Seollal!

And as we know, holidays, specifically, are foundationally grounded in religious or cultural moments of our communities.

2021 P.A.N.D.A. Awards

You know, I’m late already with my initial 2021 blog schedule, so figured why not make my first blog of 2021 be a celebration! It’s time for the P.A.N.D.A. Awards! Started in 2015 on the night of the 87th Academy Awards, the P.A.N.D.A. Awards were created in a 10 minute time span. They were originally

Reminiscing 2020

I can’t believe that 2020 is finally coming to a close! This year has been the Takabisha Rollercoaster of years. Amongst the obvious reasons of COVID, the Presidential Election, and the continuing fight again racism, homophobia, etc. I went through a lot as well.  In January, I was on boarding a new supervisor after I

Co and Extra

In recent weeks I’ve been finding myself being asked to define “co-curricular” and “extra-curricular” activities as it relates to higher education and I want to unpack some of my thoughts on this.  Much of this comes from a context in which we are working to break down the plethora of silos and barriers on campus

Meandering Update

We’re just going to traverse my mind today LOL. I’ve been in counseling for the past year. Situations prior to COVID19 guided me to the decision to overcome my fear and distrust of counseling and it has actually been a saving grace for me during COVID19. One of the many things I am unpacking in
