lol 🤣🤣 it gets more of a breeze off the coast but still super hot, still super humid hahaha

and yeah, i live near campus in Orlando. my boss moved to Tampa a while back, it's pretty much the only other place in the state i go, but i mostly stay here in the swamp 😆

what area did you visit?

and you too!

"explicit sexual images" is wild 🤣

idk how i'd feel somewhere else but it feels necessary here. i love Orlando but it's still Florida, and anyone could see us out together and follow us home just cause we're together and that makes them hate us. in the last year i've very much pivoted to a "the left should be armed too" mindset

went for a swim today and now i'm gonna spend the rest of the afternoon and evening in my a/c 🥵

it was hot af yesterday & there were a couple times i thought i'd pass out but i had lots of extra water with me and just found a spot of shade and doused my whole head with water to cool off. the turnout was so surprisingly good, very proud of our community for coming out & standing against fascism

if there was any doubt before, the news yesterday was a good reminder why we decided to go down this path in the first place. learning about that just as we were getting ready to go downtown for protests only reinforced my resolve to get past my anxiety and make sure we aren't sitting ducks at home

but after that it was good, like strangely therapeutic in a way. we're repeating the intro class later this week and gonna try with different sizes to see what's most comfortable
