So happy that the Birds won the #superbowl on the year of my 20 year Philaversary!
I moved here on 4/6/2005 at only 26 years old 20 years ago and made Philly my home.
I’m so proud of my city and proud of the Birds!

Just viewed my IPhone usage report. Since quitting FB and Insta, I’ve gotten back an average of 51 minutes of my life each day. I quit both on 1/23. It’s a solid reminder of the time-suck these platforms are & how much calmer I’ve been without them.

Protesting works.
I’ve marched in countless protests and will continue to do so for as long as my body allows.

Root for the Eagles if you want a team that’ll definitely not go to the White House if they win.

Rock and roll was created by a Black woman — Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Known as the Godmother of Rock and Roll, Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a singer, songwriter, and guitarist who served as inspiration for artists like Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash. We honor her as we still feel her influence today.

Showcasing my Strong Women of Gettysburg - Baking Bread & Burying The Dead shirt by Blood Rose Gettysburg that I bought at Gettysburg Goods yesterday!
My dad lives out here and my partner and I went browsing in the shops yesterday when I saw this badass shirt!
I love it so much!

I can understand how Zuckerberg would be upset about everything he says being leaked. I can only imagine what that would be like for me.

*hours and hours of audio of me telling my dog that he’s the best dog in the world, how handsome he is and how much I love him*

"But between banning travel, banning communication, and banning spending, it felt like all functions of our job had just been completely stripped away, like the system had been completely crippled. There was no central, clear message. It felt a little bit like that was part of the plan."
I work at NIH. The fear among staff is palpable.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence.

He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials.

It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

They want so badly for me to live in fear and despair. But I’m cuddled in bed right now with my girlfriend and cat, in the house I share with my beloved roommates, and every single one of these heartless bigots I see raging against us looks like they’ve never known love in their lives. I’m grateful.

just want to take a step back from the relentless churn of news to recognize how fucking terrifying things are for trans people right now. and i just want to say that i will always fight for you—in my capacity as a journalist and as a human being—and i’m here for whatever the trans community needs.

Resignation offers were sent to federal employees yesterday.

There is a shortage of air traffic controllers and yesterday, many of them - already stressed - had their livelihoods threatened and their mental health compromised.

There is surely correlation between this crash and mental health.

I’d rather see people try at writing than phone it in w/ AI.
Keep writing. Keep practicing. Writing can feel hard, but you will improve if you keep it up.
You’ll also become a more effective communicator and you’ll improve your critical thinking skills. Take it from this journalism major.
#writing
learning to enjoy bad writing on websites because that means that at least a person wrote it, somebody who cared about what they were writing about enough to try. totally non-dystopic state of affairs
