The Accidental Nerd

I don't know how it happened. Or When. But it did. This is my life as a PhD student trying to be more than the quintessential Nerd

Being Fat—Again.

THIS is what i have been trying to tell some of my family members…not dramatic, just real life! diabetes kills, period.  Wishing him luck….as someone with a grandfather who had a stroke and died at 48, a dad that had a stroke ALSO at 48 (but lived luckily) this stuff is real!

breakingelonce:

For most of my adult life I had one single claim. 

“I used to be thin.”

Growing up I was abnormally thin. Didn’t matter what I ate I wouldn’t gain a pound. Then somewhere around 20-21 something happened. I soon got fat and I stayed there. I’d on occasion lose  few pounds but gain it back. This continued right up until my 30th birthday. A few months after I turned the big 3-0 I found out something about triple bypass surgery. 

Stay with me now…

We aren’t postracial, no matter how much everyone says we’ve gotten past our race issues or denies the racist language of so many in the GOP — including Trump. Perhaps there should be some rephrasing: The folks who have gotten past race are largely the same folks who didn’t have to deal with it in the first place. Privilege has its, well, privileges.

Episode #69 - "RAGE"

elonjames:

Today’s episode of Blacking It Up. Dealing with the Trump. Only listen if your rage is in check. Mine isn’t. 

I haven’t played b/c my rage is not in check….SO NOT IN CHECK. Like when I saw the press conference today I looked around for someone to punch.  Then I left the lab and went home because really I can’t afford to get the angry black woman tag this late in the PhD game.

Filed under racism sucks. trump is stupid ABW syndrome (over it) rage not in check
