I’m a L’ouija Board! 👻 #halloween

Staying toasty!

Regular vs extra fluffy

Greetings from Blowing Rock! 🪶

Had a good night sky view of the #MilkyWay out near #Boone #NC. We were treated to some passing #meteors too! #space #astronomy

Wiseman's View Scenic Overlook was not easy to get to, but it was worth it to see this rare geography/old growth forest at Linville Gorge up close.

Meet North Carolina Republicans’ favorite Democrat: Kody Kinsley How a gay, 38-year old Democrat, had managed to forge alliances with conservative Republicans in the legislature to make Medicaid expansion happen.

I thought this was some interesting background on the Medicaid expansion effort in NC:

Sweet dreams!

A wildlife education/rehabilitation nonprofit came through campus this afternoon with some owls. It was a hoot! 🦉 #wfu #owls

More cats!

Cats!

Many unhealthy & delicious foods were consumed, and I always enjoy the #Winston-Salem skyline views from the ferris wheel at the Carolina Classic Fair. #Fall #Fair #NC

Looks like the annual #Winston-Salem, #NC #LGBTQ Film Festival hosted at #UNCSA is getting underway! Here’s the lineup:

Another Community Day on the books at Reynolda House Museum! Last year we saw a turnout of around 600 people for this annual festival-like free day at the museum, but this year we more than doubled that with 1268 visitors. #museums #Winston-Salem #NC

Of course I made it worse by going to grad school, and it took more than two decades after I first took out student loans to be student loan debt-free. As someone who previously worked in WFU’s first-gen support office, I’ve also seen what a difference appropriate financial support can make. #NC

As someone who would have been covered by a program like this back when I was applying to college, I hope this opens doors for many young people in NC going forward. I went to college at an in-state public university with some scholarships, a part-time job, and still ended up with student loan debt.

Glad to see NC State is keeping their on-campus voting site for the primary next year! #ncpol #ncsu #NCState 🐺

I’m going alone.
Of course you are, and I’m coming with you!

Any campus sites? You know I’m always rooting for high voter participation at my alma mater. Go pack! 🐺

Just got my COVID & flu shots. Was able to get it without a prescription at Walgreens thanks to an executive order by Governor Josh Stein.

Feels like I got it in under the wire since RFK is considering further restricting access to COVID vaccines. Seems like folks might want to jump on it soon.

Good show. Glad to see it getting some recognition.

🤌

Had a fun weekend in #Charlottesville! It was nice to be in a place with mountains, with good #gaming stores (shout out to The End Games, The Forge, & Sabre Games), and with good food like Vu Noodles, Chaps Ice Cream, & of course Bodo’s Bagels. 🥯
