Wow, I get to have something in common with someone I deeply respect: Robert Reich. Hate that it's epilepsy. robertreich.substack.com/p/subject-to...

I always admired how Dolly Parton epitomized grace, good humor and an accepting attitude, even while enduring sexist nonsense and navigating clumsy efforts to draw her into culture war craziness. I never bought an album, but always remained a fan. RIP to the queen: loom.ly/oZvgPRA

Do you think the Grindr servers in South Carolina are experiencing their first day of rest in 20 years?

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

Damn, Belgium just basically scored an empty net goal. Didn’t realize we were watching hockey 😂

A month ago my screen time on my phone topped 4 hours and I flipped out (it’s back under 3 for each week now). Then people started telling me what their averages are…

The nightmare is over. One of the worst runs of Star Wars comics I’ve ever read is finally coming to an end. And not a moment too soon. Please let someone else write Star Wars

Thankful for all my degrees from IU. It would be cool if they win tonight. I’m also learning that the contempt I hold for the IU administration seems to be greater than the amount of school pride I possess. Ready for the championship game 😇

I am a different person today than I was 10 days ago. The horrors I have seen with my own two eyes. Be informed. Be vigilant. Stand up. Resist. Look out for each other. But rest. Find joy. Sleep and recover. Breathe. I have neglected this part. But we must rest to be able to fight tomorrow.

Do y’all remember when we were just a couple of gals obsessing over the gay hockey show? Wasn’t that fun?

“Why are you so angry?” WHY ARE YOU NOT?! Our state is occupied by a paramilitary, white nationalist force. The PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES wants to invoke the insurrection act and deploy the fucking MILITARY against US Citizens trying to protect our neighbors from cruelty. Wake. Up.

Editing my silly little dissertation while I can see ICE vehicles drive by out the window of the coffee shop evokes an indescribable feeling of hollowness and “what the fuck is the point?”

I think my youth pastor growing up wanted me to evangelize Jesus how I evangelize Heated Rivalry. Have you met my sweet, gay hockey boys? Let me tell you the good news of Shane and Ilya. I’m here to spread the word.

The Caribou next to my house always has decaf coffee ready in the morning now (rather than later in the day) because I often stop by on my way to work or practice. If that’s not being a disability advocate idk what is 😭❤️ Happy epilepsy awareness month 🥰

The Caribou Coffee app was down today because of the AWS outage so I couldn’t use my rewards and I didn’t get any points for my coffee this morning. Please think of me during this time. I’ve certainly been hit the hardest by this outage.
