got home last night and had to show up in my super smart and independent lesbian roommate's room and ask her to kill a spider for me and she got out from under all her blankets and paused her movie just to save me

i see this view multiple times a month — sometimes multiple times a week — and somehow the knowledge that the earth is turning and that once again another day dawns anew simply doesn't get old. it's cloudy on the ground today, but i know the sunshine is up there. i saw it.

is everyone familiar with that old tumblr post that was like "when i was 17 i wanted to die but right now i'm on my couch listening to my husband and child laughing in the next room" just thinking about that so thoroughly these days

curling up on the couch with your roommate and a cat and some mexican food and a movie and showing each other met gala outfits and critiquing the hell out of them. heaven is real and lives on my couch.

mentioned this to my super smart and independent lesbian roommate and she fist-pumped

worked an all nighter again as one does and suddenly feel so full of love that i'm NAUSEOUS because there is literally so much love in my life even amidst all the bad things in the world that i am so rarely if ever lonely and i have seen full proof that i am loved unconditionally

my main life hack is to get a super smart and independent lesbian roommate and also a super masculine devoted gay best friend because between the two of them you will never have to do anything ever again like i am passenger princessing my way through life so smoothly right now

one day you're sad and worry you'll never find friends who love and care about you unconditionally and then suddenly one day you're sitting in an airport drinking beers and getting on a plane with two of your favorite people in the world to take them to one of your favorite cities in the world!!!!

"do you think you're a plane expert" on planes in general? no. on this plane specifically on which i have extensive training and have spent 75 hours on so far in the year 2025? yeah, kinda!

every couple of days i have a really brutal moment where i go "oh, god, when did i get happy?" and this has been happening for over a year and i have no idea when i stop being surprised that i'm happy to be alive

🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 literally any 🕯 good news 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯 🕯

There we go. Support this man.

generative AI is so devastating to me personally because catastrophic environmental impacts aside, the weird love and obsession with generated products only serves to highlight how little folks can identify the soul of human-created art — and how sad it is to have lost that!!

people who have a passionate hatred for small dogs and no willingness to admit that small dogs are often loud and aggressive as a result of their loss of agency (being treated like dolls/stuffed animals and grabbed/picked up/carried constantly) make me go 🤨🤨🤨🤨

i think the worst part of being an adult post-college thus far has been the loss of having writing workshops and other people who wanted to share work and have a shared interest in discussing said work :((

me: "did i tell you i bought assless chaps?" my best friend: "...no..?" -silence- my best friend: "honestly i just assumed you already owned some"

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

trying to fall asleep alone in your own bed after falling asleep listening to someone else breathing is soooooooo stupid

you spend all this time thinking nothing will ever get better and then you wake up one day and you're planning trips to europe with your friends and kissing pretty women and hosting brunch once a week and having adult sleepovers and and and. you wake up one day and it got better. you got better.

forgot this platform existed again i'll be so honest

the boston logan international airport just played the song bigger than me by louis tomlinson over the speakers and there's no one here for me to absolutely lose my shit to over it

I keep coming back to this photo I took yesterday of the Stonewall Inn, and the vow written in neon in the window, which I think we would all do well to live by right now: “In the name of those who came before me, I pledge to be brave, to be true to myself, and to fight like hell for equality.”

my life improved so dramatically the day i decided that love and joy and light surrounds me as long as i care to see it. like it's everywhere!! so much happiness to be found if only you look!!!!!

going from 17 to 22 tattoos in the span of week may be my best yet

Anyway so I just bought some really cute guillotine earrings for no reason

pretzel thief

yeah i didn't sleep much last night but today i hugged my grandmother and laughed with my cousin and watched the snow fall, and tomorrow i have a tattoo appointment and will wake up in my own bed, and the day after i will make brunch for my friends and have mimosas and laugh so hard it'll hurt, so!!

Ladies! Ladies! Don’t fight! …kiss

getting off the plane in boston to snow coming down and a fluffy layer of white covering every surface is so special to me personally i do so adore the northeast my heart is so happy here

me: "my timeline is so hard to curate on here i keep seeing stuff i don't care about" also me, every couple of weeks: "oh shit yeah i have a bluesky account"

You ever meet an old hippie who is way, way too focused on hating Nixon? Like, you get where they're coming from, but what about Reagan and Bush and all the other terrible politicians and policies? But I get it now. 100%. I am going to be big mad about these motherfuckers until the day I die.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Quick reminder to parents who willing choose not to vaccinate their kids- when kids (yours or not) die of preventable diseases, it IS your fault, you ARE a terrible parent, & your children SHOULD be taken from you for medical neglect🫶🏼

finding the small things to celebrate has been so special to me. my roommate and i shared tea in our kitchen, she worked from home and i read my book. we went to a fundraiser for my other roommate. we sang along to folk songs and we found comfort in each other. and how special, you know?

good things lately: celebrated one year of working at my current job!!! ordered greek food with my roommate and had a movie night!!! finished rereading The Book Thief and sobbed and sobbed on my couch, cuddling up with our cats!!! received a package from my mom for valentine's day!!!

i am literally begging, if you are a person who stands up to pee, please god learn to aim or sit down while peeing on a plane. please. because my god.

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

today's good things: watched old disney musicals with my roomie, went thrifting and bought assless chaps, made potato soup and italian bread for roomie and friends, did a lot of writing and also knocked out some work stuff!!!!!

i am so grateful at all times to have moved to a city where i have such a strong support system and to have a job with a company that publicly reinforces its DEI values and that i have such a strong relationship with my entire family. i am lucky beyond words and i will never fathom that

i can't tell you how important it is to be surrounded by love right now and i am so lucky to have so very much love in my life!!! everything is hard but i get to curl up on the couch with my roommate at the end of the day and i get to visit friends when i'm not working and that is so special to me!!

good things today: made a southern-style brunch with my friend, had mimosas all day, hung out with my friend and my roommate, watched both mamma mia and mamma mia 2 with my friend and my other roommate, shared homemade bread and honey goat cheese, got to rest and thrive surrounded by love and warmth

good things yesterday: a man brought us two dozen donuts at the start of our day, the coffee shop in the airport had lavender syrup so i got a lavender chai latte, my friend and i danced to doechii in the back of the plane, we shared twizzlers and diet dr peppers, and the airport played harry styles

i can remember being 12-17 and counting down the days until i could move out and be on my own and i was so convinced that my parents sucked and everything was awful and then i went to college and my parents moved across the world and i realized so quickly how badly i needed them

"mommy issues this" "daddy issues that" ok but what if my parents are great and I'M the problem

today's good things: did my laundry, picked up my meds, got everything to make chai latte martinis tonight with my roommate, got my room cleaned, and went for a little walk while it flurried this morning!!!!!!!!! also played with our cats and got new blankets for movie nights!!!!!!!!

ok the whole state of the world is a nightmare but i do feel soooo lucky that i can doordash the makings of a chai latte martini to be delivered to my apartment
