a strange effect of the massive https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇨🇱" title="Flagge von Chile" aria-label="Emoji: Flagge von Chile">uprising that happened while doing my diss fieldwork is that i& #39;ve felt disconnected from work that i had done up to that point. everything felt TOO relevant. i https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⛽️" title="Benzinpumpe" aria-label="Emoji: Benzinpumpe">lit myself into feeling like i hadn& #39;t rly been thinking abt relevant issues beforehttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧵" title="Thread" aria-label="Emoji: Thread">

i knew i was disassociating from my own experiences w/ it all bc i could feel myself not feeling the gravity of things that i was definitely witnessing in person. i knew it was traumatic. i was able to do amaze interviews/data collection/thinking but couldn& #39;t talk about my feels.
