The only time I really try hard is if it’s “necessary” but after the paper or conversation my mind feels so tired.

I’m not sorry for not expressing something so academia sounding at times, I just don’t speak that language. Those who understand know what I mean. And if you put anyone down for this, step back and think about how that’s such an internalized elitist, colonized mindset.

don't take it personal girl, academia is SUPPOSED to make your head hurt after reading. It's built to gatekeep us out. It does need you to understand a lot of jargon in that field, but don't think you dont belong just bc you're still young & learning. We all started somewhere.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I have faith that these younger generations on the come up will have some radical beautiful orators & passionate people fighting
But as Chamorros many of us come from non-academic backgrounds so it doesn't come natural. The struggle we go through belongs to all of our islands.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

If you ever need help editing papers, or understanding anything academic, I am not an expert but I can help you as best as I can. Send me a screenshot. Always open to helping for this! I didn't have this and I wish I did.

Lol yes I fully understand this. My tweet is more directed at people who don’t and have adopted this elitist mindset. And truly I don’t think I don’t belong, I know I don’t belong. I’m not personally interested in getting better at the smarty language lol I’m just persevering -

This made me question why I’m even in college knowing I’m not interested in academia and knowing you don’t gotta be an academic to be knowledgeable or an activist
