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.

“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.
