Renting an apartment in New York City is an absolute horror. I applied for a place on Saturday and they are STILL kicking my tires. The anxiety is MUCH. #NewYorkCity

Fellow college writing teachers, I have been grading constantly for weeks, and I have a question for you all: Do you mark sentence level mistakes? If so, a few? a generous plenty? every single one? I’m trying to see something, here. Please help me out! #AcademicSky #TeacherSky #Grades

The guy who just picked up my laundry asked me on a date, and I am confused. Dude: the woman you just asked out doesn’t even have it together to wash her own garments. You can do so much better, man 😭😭😭

Decided to sweep the entire floor and pulled my bed out from the wall. So many treasures! Scrunchies and socks, dust bunnies and empty lip mask tubes. Best find? See below. Unopened and within expiration date #luckyme

I took about half an hour let the tension leave my body before heading home — teaching is done. Exams and a grading bonanza next week ✍🏻

Last class of the week just released and oh my goodness, look at them all run for the train in the cold! I love my job, and I love my students. This moment is pretty good #academicsky

Vegan stir fry for me today. I rarely do Thanksgiving style Thanksgiving — but I am so grateful for so many things, too numerous to count. I hope you all are feeling happy, safe, and grateful this Thanksgiving 💕

Inwood neighborhood in New York City yesterday afternoon. Simultaneously excited for the red tailed hawk and mournful for the unfortunate pigeon. #birds

Best weather to read Julia Heaberlin’s “We Are All the Same in the Dark” #booksky

Winesaps = best apples ever. Yesterday was the last day to buy them this season. We bought 30 🍎

The papers are graded and the cooking is (mostly) done, so now I can read in the delicious quiet of my empty apartment. Peace, friends.
