In January, Twitter deleted my old account because I deactivated it for too long. Quick update: I passed my AMST prelim exams in June & spent my downtime celebrating my ABD status in Minnesota. 🎉 Back home in Kalihi now for fieldwork.

I love being a PhD student.
it feels like I’m expected to be miserable or overwhelmed.
but as a first-gen student, I’ve had to overcome a lot worse to get here.
