Chicago is a weird city for me these days. I’ll be navigating it single again, and even in such a huge city filled with people I know, it feels very lonely.

As a higher ed professional, the days since January 20 have been stressful to say the least. Students look to me and others with despair and uncertainty in their eyes, wondering if the tremendous diversity and differences present in our college community are now seen as a threat and not an asset.

Disappointing that the LinkedIn posts of federal agencies are now flooded with right wing propaganda. Time to scrub my follows and block the anti equity cowards.
