Or Nikki, depending on how you know me. 21+. She/Her.
A few years ago, a friend of mine and I found a recipe for mac and cheese muffins. Food aside, we thought the ending frame of the video was hilarious. I made it my email's profile picture and forgot about it.

Until I'm sending an email for professional reasons.

A great first impression, certainly.

Why take accountability for anything when you could take others' adulation instead?

Got some bad news from my doctor: my CA-125 is going up again.

She's going to enroll me in a clinical trial before having me start chemotherapy.

I'm just...

I'm trying so hard, you know? And it's all amounting to nothing.

UPDATE: At least three people are in critical conditions after being wounded in a shooting near Evergreen High School, officials said Wednesday.

Officials said they were responding to an “active assailant” near the Jefferson County school.

It's 2a, so I'm just going to quietly say...

I have a big day tomorrow, and I'm scared.

If anyone wanted to share something that makes them smile, I wouldn't mind it at all.

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

Back at my old stomping grounds -- UCSF's infusion center, for a blood transfusion. I'm okay; hemoglobin levels are just low.

I'm weirdly nervous though, lol.

"Attorney General shall initiate appropriate action to repeal or amend the implementing regulations for Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 for all agencies"

What's Title VI?

"prohibits discrimination against or otherwise excluding individuals on the basis of race, color, or national origin"

Another update! My regular oncologist messaged me to basically say those two 'concerns' were actually non-issues. So, uh.. Good news?! Good news.

I'm so relieved. 😭

Good news: the radiation seems to have worked.

Bad news: the scan showed 2 nodules in my lungs (4mm, 2mm). Too small to know if they're cancerous, so I'll be having a follow up scan in 2-3 months.

As you can imagine, I'm less than thrilled. But.. time to try to forget for a few weeks. lol. lmao.
Scan on Friday and then a meeting on April 7 to discuss how everything is looking.

Honestly, this waiting period has been the hardest. Not knowing anything and not being able to take any sort of meaningful action in the meantime is driving me up the wall.

But at least there are plans on the books.
Having my first radiation treatment tomorrow -- and every day for the rest of the week.

More than anything, I'm just eager to get it started.

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵

legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...
a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

With everything else going on in the world, it feels silly to whine about something so banal...

For the last few months, I've felt on the outs with some of my friends. In one case, I put myself there. On that last one, I've been trying to fix it, and I think it's working out.

On the others...
