Reasons why I should be cast on #Survivor: 1. Historically, every Jenna on the show has been entertaining 2. I write with a 2 time Pixar director and EP 3. I became a professor at 22. 4. My neurodivergence and my extroversion go crazy together 5. I'm bisexual which automatically makes me cool.

Power got wiped out, and I finished Ulysses, so I'm finding new ways to entertain myself.

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I enjoyed all of these, but damn we need more grand scale romances like Titanic. The original ending was also very funny.

Titanic: 5 stars, Saving Private Ryan: 3.5 stars, Supergirl: 2.5 stars, Jaws: 4 stars

I'll never forget the way Cooper Ingle loved and cared for my big brother, Bill. Go get 'em, Cooper!

Whoever was President on January 6th 2021 has some explaining to do.

Donald J. Trump on Truth Social: THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD IN JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What A SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

The Falcons lost this game 30-27.

Twitter AI claiming that the Falcons beat the Panthers 21-19. The final score was 30-27, Panthers.

If you want to know how Twitter's AI is doing, this game is in the second quarter and the score is 6-3.

"Dolphins Dominate Commanders 45-15 in NFL's Historic Spain Debut. The Miami Dolphins defeated the Washington Commanders 45-15 in the NFL's first regular-season game held at Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, marking the league's latest expansion into international markets. Running back De'Von Achane starred with 225 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns, helping Miami snap a losing streak in their 3-7 season. The event highlighted the stadium's innovative underground natural grass system, prompting discussions on potential adoption for NFL venues in the U.S."

I wanted to explore my art style, and I'm happy with how this piece turned out :)

Howdy! I'm Jenna Perkin, I'm the writer for the iOS app With Love, and I'm a college professor in the Detroit area. I'm not going to be at GDC this year, but I'll be back home working to create impactful stories for With Love users to connect with!

The toughest part of transitioning to a wheelchair was not being able to go on walks. But I've started going on "rolls" around a few blocks. I can't go very far before my arms give out, but it's euphoric just to be wandering outside again.

Since my cat loved my old wheelchair so much I was excited to surprise him with a new wheelchair!

It's been just shy of 2 years since I directed a version of The Bookstore by Adam Szymkowicz. Feeling nostalgic... I had so much fun on this production.

I saw this reddit post the other day, regarding an able-bodied individual using the handicap stall when a wheelchair user arrived and waited by the stall door. I've been feeling a certain way about the comments on the post, and as a wheelchair user, I'd like to talk about it!

A reddit post titled "my worst nightmare finally became a reality." Included is a picture taken from a handicap stall, with a wheelchair user waiting outside.

I've heard about the Midwestern bag of bags, but I'm so Midwestern I have a BOX of bags.

Had someone come up to me today asking if I was an "internet star," because they recognized me. I'm, like, pretty sure I'm not. But if you do follow me online and you asked me this today, then yes that was me.

I made a butter chicken chili recipe this evening and my first attempt filled me with so much joy. This was a winner, for sure.

After 27 days away from home, TODAY IS THE DAY! There is still a longer road to recovery, but I'll get to do it from home.

Jenna Perkin @jennaperkin.com · 01/11/2024

Today marks three weeks since I've been home. But good news: I'm getting discharged next week 🎉🎉 My road to recovery is still long, but at least I'll get to do it at home.

I've been away from home for 2 weeks now. You know, you never really expect when you drive to the hospital that you're not going to be back for a while. I know I've posted a lot about this zany medical adventure, but it's something I think I'll be glad to have documented.

Jenna Perkin @jennaperkin.com · 23/10/2024

1 week here. I can walk with some help, so we're making small progress. But it'll still take some time to get stable again

Jenna Perkin @jennaperkin.com · 20/10/2024

Rehab facility day 5... ... I can't wait to go home. Still working on walking again.

I feel like "fun" isn't the right word to describe a GamerGate conference, but I had a great time at Alt+F4 connecting with other scholars and having good conversations. I didn't take any pictures, so instead, here's me with a cat on my lap. #altF4conference

I made butter chicken poutine with homemade fries. I also made a ton of naan. The consensus: Chicken curry and fries belong together. This was DELICIOUS.
