Ok, WVU Football. You did the thing that will make me get behind a second RR era—you guys brought Pat on. This is the hire we all needed.

So here we are

Well, if people are going to tell me to stop whining and “do something about it”, well, I’m going to take that one seriously. Also, Sen. Durbin, Sen. Markey, and Rep. Waters are lovely people, and my husband and I spoke at the presser too.

This character is technically my nephew. I watched him born 7 years ago, and he was aired on the anime last week. @rieriebee.bsky.social @squisherific.bsky.social

Why BTS is my favorite: The huevos for the whole band to do their military service at one time. What other band’s leader rapped with Megan Thee Stallion and played tenor sax at a tomato festival the same month? Billboard album while firing artillery or frying mandu? Yep, they can.

Fun facts: -I saw the last Space Shuttle launch. -I’ve lived in four countries. -I have 5 degrees (3 graduate). -I’ve met my favorite mangaka twice (Hiro Mashima) -I am Army. Only Army. 2Seok is my bias. I’m indifferent to most other Kpop. -Very rarely talk about psychology.

Best sports experience I ever had: Attending the Rio 2016 Olympics as a volunteer. Also saw Michael Phelps win a gold and break a 2000-year-old record.

This…this is it. In a nutshell, yes.

Criminy, when I joked about Dr. Oz being nominated for a cabinet position I was JOKING. Granted, I joked Surgeon General, but CMS isn’t too far off.

It’s so painful to try to support space exploration while trying not to gag when you see the old Muskrat.

Did I just order a dupe of my old Japanese license plate for my car? Yes, yes I did. At least I’m making one positive of being in WV—only the back plate required.

One of the benefits about Blue Sky: I can post my feelings about WVU football without 3/4s of the fans on social media calling 🍊man “Daddy”

That being said, yeah, defense lost it tonight more than anyone.

People defend Garrett Greene far too much. Not only do I think he’s a transphobe after his little Easter tweet earlier this year, but he’s a woefully inconsistent quarterback who will either make a great play or pitch the ball to the other team.

I mean, I’m totally an expert at boxing. I went to a session at the Olympics once in 2016.

You know what? Showing up on camera with your ass hanging out and making it 8 rounds in boxing is not terrible for a 58-year-old. I’d consider that a moral victory, even if he lost. Still, the previous fight was far better.

Well, that was anticlimactic.

I’m going to transport myself back to Asia for a moment. Helps me forget I moved back to the U.S. right before the 🍊 one got elected again. Taka and Toru from the Japanese band ONE OK ROCK (a phenomenal band live, btw) wrote one of the songs on Jin’s EP. Musical tastes colliding.

Someone posted wondering what Kid Rock will be appointed as. My guess is director of the U.S. Geological Survey. Ugh, that joke is schist.

So if an anti-vaxxer is going to be in charge of HHS, is the Flat Earth Society going to be the administration for NASA? Asking for myself.

Polio after hearing RFK was selected as HHS secretary.

Putting an anti-vaxxer in charge of public health is like putting the Unabomber in charge of the mail.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

So we are going back.

It will be 2016 every day until we die

A little about me: mom, wife, serial expat who recently returned but regretting it after the 2024 election, West Virginian (gasp, we exist). Will not shut up about IVF, the Olympics, space, anime/manga, being a baby ARMY (💜), and whatever random shtuff I’m enjoying at the time.

Don’t expect psychology posts, even though I am a psychologist. I usually like to use social media for my non-work endeavors. That’s not to say I won’t talk about psych, but you are way more likely to hear me talk about BTS.

So, here I am.
