haven’t seen this said nearly as much as I think it ought to be said, so I’m saying it: for sober folks, staying sober is resisting. and if that’s the “only” way you resisted today, by refusing to numb, you did a great job resisting and I hope you’re proud of you ✊🏻

I didn’t expect “My Mother’s Wedding” would get me so emotional, but it did. What a lovely, poignant film 🥹 Will have to see it again to fully appreciate it.

even though I did an online placement exam (went super fast since I know maybe 20 words in French, 11 of which are zero-ten), I’ll also have a placement interview to confirm which level classes I’ll be taking. Gonna be a really quiet interview after I’ve told them my name 😅😂🤪

when I got home from work last night, there was an Amazon mailer for me. I knew I didn’t order anything (and checked anyway to confirm it wasn’t me). Inside, there was this wee pretzel plush, but no note!!! A gift AND a mystery!!! Best day ever. Gift giver has been identified and thanked 🥨♥️

I had forgotten that the second anniversary is sooooooooo much worse than the first anniversary and did not build a week-and-a-half-long derailment into my spring term scheduling 😬 Grief sucks, y’all.

it’s been a very interesting season for me: lots of revelations, many struggles, some complicated anniversaries… but oh, when they come, the wins are so sweet 🌈🌊

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

Just filed an official complaint with studentprivacy.ed.gov for FERPA violations that occurred when Elon Musk and his DOGE minions accessed my and millions of others private personal and financial data during their raid on the Dept. of Education.

Every student borrower should do this.

What a writer finds beautiful and moving, what they write about as aesthetically pleasing, what they struggle to and manage to get in front of a reader as a thing of beauty—all of that, independent of the “message” or “moral” or “theme”, is political
