The best thing to come out of that hospital stay was that the day I was discharged, my nurse suggested I watch the #SecretLivesofMormonWives. This show is so completely unhinged, chaotic, and messy. Whew! I will say no one warned me who was going to host the reunion. Talk about a jump scare!

Spent days planning an outfit for my first ever panel at Harvard and now, not even my plan B outfit seems to be any good. All that work and what did it get me? Why did I do it?

I had major package build-up when I got home, but somehow, the very first one I opened was this shirt, and I love it. It’s stories like this which convince me that my aunt is still with me. Love you, Aunt BJ.

I know God is real because while I was away, the facilities staff finally installed my new shower head. I think my Boston shower might be better than my Chicago shower, and I never thought that would happen! I really do belong here!!!

Nothing like getting a potassium pill lodged in your throat sideways to remind you you’re alive!

This hospital stay pissing me tf off. Three different things have happened already and it’s barely 9am. I cannot wait to get out of here and I don’t ever want to see this place ever again.

There have been three mass shootings in the last 24 hours. Just let that sink in. There aren’t even any words anymore.

I don’t care what anyone says, being the oldest sibling is the hardest job in the world and the best case scenario is that you NEVER get to retire.

Ethan *clearly* should have won based on the force of that last dress alone, right? I’m not just saying that bc I’m a Drag Race/Utica fan. I’m saying that because I watched the whole season and saw all the finale looks. I was so confused.

Okay, so I just watched the season finale of #ProjectRunway and I am SO CONFUSED by the winner. WHAT?!? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for them, and they’ve had a hard time in the competition, but the idea that that collection was judged to be the best of them all is baffling to me. Wow. 😳

Thank you so much for giving us the FBI’s perspective on her life and existence. Well done.

The way I’m going to apologize to everyone from now on: “Sorry for calling you a bitch, it’s just…you have been a bitch.” #ProjectRunway

We’ve lost one of the elders. I just found out that Assata Shakur has died. Rest in power to a mighty political activist and an icon in black liberation politics and thought.

After the day I had in here yesterday, today’s motto is: please don’t piss me tf off! I’m really not the one, or the two, today.

You’re so sweet. Thank you for your kind words. Trust me, I’m using them as fuel to get better! Hope you have a wonderful night and a great day tomorrow!
