my brain is expanding so much

Me: I don’t wanna do homework I just want to read

“Illness is not only a biomedical phenomenon but also a constructed one. And how we *imagine* leprosy or OCD or tuberculosis matters.”

“Nothing is so privileged as thinking history belongs to the past” oof. I wish I could annotate audiobooks. I would want to quote this in my Cultural Anthropology class
