Really enjoyed attending the Two Tribes of Florida symposium at FSU yesterday!! And got to see @kathleenconti.bsky.social

A good introduction of me: standing outside my favorite bookstore with a freshly wrapped new tattoo, pointing at a Beetlejuice reference and holding a chai tea latte and cheese straws. This sums up a lot about me. Hi Bluesky 👋
