I know I should be paying attention to all of the various horrors of *gestures broadly* but y’all I cannot stop rewatching this absolutely beautiful gay hockey romance show over and over and over…and I think it might be a better choice to spend time with a loving rendition of queer joy instead.

Sitting in a theater in Wilmington to watch @izball.bsky.social’s movie D(e)ad, which I have all confidence will have been worth driving an hour and a half to see. Spent a beautiful day wandering around downtown and eating and drinking delicious things and perusing shops. Been a good day.

Also please enjoy this beautiful pic of Dahlia as she inexplicably rests her little cheek on my arm after licking all over it. She’s the weirdest little guy and I love her so much.

Life is a bunch of hot garbage, but I did get to tell 10 v excited 5th graders that we’re gonna play some D&D together, so that’s cool.

Also this is my favorite flavor of Pocky, hands down, and I’m so stoked it’s back at Five Below.

Gotta find some pieces of sunshine somewhere. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Love love LOVE getting a msg from fb that an obv hate speech comment I flagged wasn’t removed because it didn’t violate community guidelines. 🤡 (I’m primarily only there bc I run my school’s fb and I help admin my church’s public page.) I hate Everything. All of the things. (It’ll pass, but Christ.)

I’m So Tired of all of the…everything. I’m normally a person who can push beyond it and keep on trucking but between the unabashed gerrymandering going on in NC, and the current wannabe dictator literally tearing down a whole wing of the White House…hopelessness is reeeaally seeping in, y’all. 🫠

Naked authoritarian fascism. Love and support to the entire team at @jimmykimmellive.bsky.social, who *will* come out the other side of this horrendous abuse of power. Disgusted to see ABC caving to this glaringly illegal and unconstitutional threat from Brendan Carr.
Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

Also, hi, hello. I have been less active in most places out of a sense of self-preservation, but I’m trying to tap back in in ways that won’t automatically throw me into panic/doom spirals.

It’s rough out here, y’all.

Aaaand my assistant’s daughter is a student at UNCW, where apparently the campus is on lockdown after a guy with a rifle was arrested and other threats abound, all bc someone painted over a “free expression” (🙄) rock that had been painted in tribute to CK. I’m so tired.

Am I playing a lofi instrumental compilation of KPop Demon Hunters music in the lab because the delight on students’ faces as they realize what’s playing brings me more joy than they’ll ever know? Or perhaps because the ones who clock it immediately start singing along softly?

Ready for the wildest update?
I got an out-of-the-blue text from this friend just shy of 3 weeks ago.

It’s wild to be presented with an interaction that me from maybe 5-10 years ago would have jumped at and to have a totally different perspective.

Me from right now left her on read because 1/2
I guess I really do just need to get more active over here again. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey so remember that friend who basically broke up with me back in July? She’s finally blocked me on fb and somehow I’m…okay?

Life is bizarre, y’all.

Nothing like an absolutely unhinged “leader” waging war against teaching about multicultural studies to get me pumped to study Lunar New Year with the kids in the lab for the next week. 😉 💋🖕🏼

Can I just say, despite living and working in a pretty red county, hearing the staff at my school respond to being told that our district has asked us to “comply” with any visiting ICE officers—by *immediately* asking, “What happens if we don’t?” made my heart swell.

Every time I think I’ve reached max capacity of love for these two goobers, they go and sleep nose to nose and then I realize that truly, the limit does not exist.
