Anyone who has dealt with/been adjacent to cancer before knows how much of a financial burden it can be, and how unclear that burden is throughout the process.
Please consider donating to Blizz's gofundme if you have the means. The last thing he & his family need to worry about right now is money💜
Full transparency…

It’s a little hard to pinpoint how much everything is going to cost financially, so Prof and I raised the goal for the GoFundMe.

There is no pressure to keep supporting!

But huge thank you for all of the amazing support while I go through treatment!

Good morning! I'm in Uganda to visit family and friends.

But depending on your perspective, don't worry or I'm sorry: I'll be back by the end of the month.

See you soon, NYC.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

My thoughts exactly
Yet another example of the lesser-ranked schools taking the stand that the bigger schools are too scared to.

Here: even as Ann Arbor caves on DEI, Eastern Michigan does not.

The courage of the smaller schools is laudable. The refusal of the bigger schools is frustrating.

Minnesota continues to amaze me.

Minneapolis has piles of snow taller than you if you walk along the street. But… you never have to walk outside.

There are ~10 miles of bridges and tunnels connecting the city in the “skyway system.“🤠

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.
