we moved to dc and 1) the cats have never lived somewhere with stairs, lots to process 2) Abe and Harry hanging together no matter where I live has become something of a gag and I love it very much

I feel like every woman I know has told me that their 30s, if not their favorite decade, were at least way way way better than their 20s. it gives me hope!! lots of good happened in the past 10yrs but I am not sad to say goodbye to this period of my life lol

fr though my 20s were like laughably bad—had to escape an abusive relationship, got a grapefruit sized tumor that cost me an organ and much of my sanity, had a generally horrible and traumatizing time in graduate school—but in my 30th yr I’ll finish the PhD, am moving to DC, starting a new job

its worth asking whether this ending would have happened without the endless, gleeful, hunting and dismantling of Arday's choices on Twitter, where he represented all the sins of DEI made flesh for a range of assorted disgruntled academics who once had to go to a training and hated it

yesterday my phone died and simply never turned back on again (which was ultimately some kind of factory defect) but it meant I had to drive from Charlottesville to the Apple Store in Richmond with no phone and directions on a sticky note like Lewis and Clark or some shit

5 years of living in charlottesville means 5 years of finding out from Instagram when Dave Matthews is 2 blocks from my house and missing the random casual run in of my dreams every single time 💔

I love how every day in charlottesville they’re digging up a new road and then giving it the worst patch job imaginable so no matter where I go I’m driving on a mariokart course

I made dinner for my abuser a bunch of times. You have to play nice while you're planning your escape so you don't get dead. Max Miller is a textbook abuser.
