Just a reminder of that time Kevin O’Leary did so bad at Jeopardy he had to be given $1000 just to participate in Final Jeopardy. Aaron Rodgers won, and Mark Kelly was also there. Weird episode in retrospect.

Did Ring Fit today and did about 1.75 miles trying to be mindful of striking on the balls of my feet and pushing up rather than lifting my legs. In other news, my ankles are tired.

Whenever I’m in a hotel I like to look through the drawers to see if there’s a Gideon Bible so that I can quote Mission Impossible, “Those damn Gideons.”

So. Maybe this is my mid-life crisis happening, but I want to run. It seems like most people my age go for marathons or triathlons but I just want to sprint. I just recently learned about the USATF Masters, and maybe the goal would be to run in a meet? Anyone have advice? #track #trackandfield

Made a decision today. I want to be a writer. I’ve been working on a story centered around a character named Fay for over a year now, and have had the idea since 2019. I hope that someday in the hopefully not too distant future that you all can meet her. #writersky #booksky

I only started creative writing seriously about a year ago. I dabbled before, but nothing quite stuck. I'm still new and my work is really rough, but I absolutely love when I sit down and write a character's back story. This one in particular has been a long time coming! #writing #creativewriting

In my mid-20s, I thought I was done with Star Wars. The prequel trilogy was finished, The Clone Wars launch was disastrous, and the EU, which I loved was a hot, never ending mess where I made the realization that my favorite characters would never have the happy endings I wanted for them. 1/2.

Working out for the first time in weeks as I was working on the final push of my dissertation and listening to my FDT playlist. This is how it should be. #FDT

The last few days have seen me getting back to my pre-grad school self. I'm reading This Gilded Abyss by @rebeccathorne.bsky.social , watching the Witch Hat Atelier anime, getting caught up on the Frieren manga, and playing the first Dark Deity game. It's good to be back! #nerd

I submitted my dissertation to ProQuest this morning. For the first time in years, today was the day I felt like there wasn’t a weight on my shoulders or a task that couldn’t wait, but I honestly didn’t know what to do with myself. #phd #dissertation #phdlife #imadoctornow

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I always thought the end of 1984 when the Party announces they’d switched allegiances in the war and were now enemies with their former ally, and the people accept it immediately and unquestioningly after a few seconds as unbelievable. MAGA and Republicans have shown me otherwise this past year.

Society has simply progressed past Firefly. We don’t need to bring it back.

I hadn’t used ChatGPT since playing with it right after it came out, but when I saw OpenAI is courting the Department of Defense, I logged in and deleted my account. I hate it here.

The chief of police of quakertown Pennsylvania choked a teen girl on camera and the footage is on the Pennsylvania subreddit.

I submitted my dissertation to my committee yesterday. I cried a little because this is finally happening after COVID and life interrupted everything. There may never be a job out there in the field for me, but I will have my PhD. #phd #phdlife #dissertation #medievalliterature

My mentor approved the final chapter of my dissertation. Looks like this is finally going to happen after COVID and life got in the way. Still need to do some editing and get through the defense, but I feel pretty elated atm. #dissertation #phd #phdlife #medievalliterature

I just realized Home Alone 2 is actually pretty prescient. Trump owned the Plaza Hotel at the time, and the employees we meet are a bunch of incompetent buffoons who clearly have no business working in those positions. #homealone #trump #FDT youtu.be/fspbzM-yWbM?...

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

The weekend snowstorm made my car lose its mind. So, I’m sitting at the dealership waiting hours for them to replace the air pressure sensors in the tires (modern cars drive me crazy sometimes). At least I have some boon (book) companions for company. #booksky #gawain

I’m doing my 2025 reading wrap a few weeks early because I don’t think it’s likely I’ll finish my current book before the end of the year. So here’s my full list per Fable as well as my completely arbitrary “awards.” #booksky #starwars #starwarsbooksky #fantasy #fantasybooksky

I’ll be making my own list of books read in 2025 soon, but here’s what Fable came up with. #booksky #starwars #starwarsbooksky #lightnovels #fantasybooksky

Picked up some old fantasy books at the thrift store recently, all with female protagonists. Decided to start with this one, The Wanderer by Cherry Wilder and Katya Reimann. It’s a spin off or a standalone, which I didn’t realize, of another series by Wilder, but oh well. Liking it so far #booksky

More of this nationwide please!

"The injections Suza needed had traveled thousands of miles to the [Democratic Republic of the Congo], USAID and other records show, only to be stranded in a regional distribution warehouse in the same city where she was gasping for air." #USAIDsaveslives

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident” Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

Today's my birthday! 🥳🎉 If you enjoy my art, a like or retweet would be such a lovely gift. PS: I love to draw pretty elf ladies 🤍

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong. Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

We are moving dangerously close to martial law. Trump openly said he intends to “go after” Chicago and New York in his next federal crackdown, saying he’s prepared to deploy U.S. troops against civilians.

Reading Wind and Truth, Stormlight Archive #5 currently (yes, I’m late), and I just have to say that I know these books are long, but the character development is incredible. Seeing Shallan really step into herself in this one has been just so damn rewarding. #stormlightarchive #windandtruth

It was a lot of work but this book is finished. My first deluxe edition YA romantasy with printed edges: Thorn Season. #thornseason #booksky #romantasy #YAbooksky

Trump knows his agenda is wildly unpopular, so instead of selling it, he’s doing what he does best: cheat. His plan? Push red states to redraw their congressional maps to wipe out Democratic seats and lock in a GOP House majority. First up: Texas with a special legislative session set for next week.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on, the President of the United States even joking about revoking someone’s citizenship should be met with universal condemnation.

I don’t care if he doesn’t back this up with further action, in a normal time, this is a major scandal, showing the president of the United States has nothing but contempt for the first amendment, basic rights, and his fellow citizens and will act accordingly in various ways.

So somehow I’m over 150,000 words into my first book. Not sure how it happened and it’s longer probably longer than I want, but I’m shocked I’ve written that much. I decided I’m going to just finish it and let it sit for a while before editing and cutting. #writersky #booksky

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers. Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street. They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery. Make it stop!!!

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

I waitress while I run for Congress. I know what it’s like to stretch a paycheck, juggle bills, and still show up for your community. Washington needs more people who live like us — not just talk about us. Derrick Van Orden talks the talk. I'll walk the walk.

Thousands of New Yorkers march in lower Manhattan calling for ICE out of New York. Starting at Foley Square and organized by PSL, the masses have flooded the streets and are moving west. This demo is permitted but even if it wasn’t, it would be far too large for NYPD to contain.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

The folks hollering about “family values” are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government. All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families. Are the family values in the room with us?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
