I’ve decided that 2025 is going to be amazing. I’m going to read more. I’m going to practice self-care without guilt. I’m going to finish my dissertation. I’m going to take time to celebrate my accomplishments.
Whatever your goals, we got this, fam! Together we will rise. Have a blessed New Year.

Bless the LA community for continuing to fight. This kind of community spirit is what we need right now. It really makes me miss living in SoCal.

I know talking trash about California is a hobby for some, but CA produces a significant portion of our strawberries, avocados, nuts, plums, and a lot of other fruit. Their economy is huge.
The more Trump hurts the labor force and plays with tariffs the more expensive everything will become.

There was a trend 10/15 years ago of big Hollywood disaster movies where the hero was a dad estranged from his family. The family had moved on, had a new perfectly nice step dad, but during the movie the step dad would die in some horrible way so the dysfunctional hero dad could reclaim his family.

If I'm accidentally ignoring your emails, know it's because I'm still thinking of #Sinners. Word of advice, if you're trying to be productive, DO NOT start listening to the soundtrack.

Funny how the administration hates the DOE until it's time to collect debt. This is not going to go well. Most students don't have the money to pay back these loans due to insane interest accumulation and a challenging job market. Go ahead and keep making threats. People still won't be able to pay.

Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says
The Education Department will begin collection next month on student loans that are in default, including the garnishing of wages for potentially millions of borrowers, officials said Monday.

I was okay until Senator Booker started talking about saying goodbye to John Lewis. #GoodTrouble
Watching #CoryBooker in the 23rd hour of his filibuster speaking about #JohnLewis, and I can't stop crying. THIS man is a leader and an inspiration, and I'm so glad and so proud that I'm watching the mantle being passed. Thank you Senator Booker. #GoodTrouble #History
