I fell in love with Felix Gonzalez-Torres through the work of the poet James Crews. I was lucky enough to get to engage with "Untitled (L.A.)(1991) at the Colorado Springs GOCA and, unsurprisingly, experienced deeply. If you're interested in such things, you can read about it here:

Had surgery today. Found out that I've been misdiagnosed for literally a decade due to medical fatphobia. I have been to several specialists throughout the years and not one of them mentioned the thing that was actually wrong.

Well...my divorce will be final in about a month so that was a wild thing to find when I logged back into this app. I haven't been brave enough to listen to any JRB this year.
Jason Robert Brown is the MONARCH of big divorced feelings. No one does it better.

My friend Kameelah Janan Rasheed has been sharing these Slow Factory “roles for collective liberation,” and I’ve found them motivating at a time when such tragedy and dysfunction can cause paralysis. They popped up in my inbox again this morning. slowfactory.earth

I was pissed that somehow "quixotic" is pronounced kwik-zotic instead of kee-hotic, being named after Don Quixote and all. But now I find that I've been pronouncing Don Quixote wrong my whole life and it would more accurately be "kee-show-tay" so I'm even worse off than I started

I’m watching Grey’s Anatomy for the first time and I desperately want to tell them that most of these situations would be made better by calling in the chaplain or the social worker. 🕯️
