I'm making new cards for people by the literal dozen. This is why facists hate libraries. It's where people go to gird their fucking loins. We love to see it.

We should not be normalizing anything coming from this administration, and from PBS? They did comply to anti-DEI so I guess this tracks

You cannot erase trans people's existence

Your dad is right. I have mini muffins for later annd mayhaps I'll get a drink. I just discovered there's orange coke when I walked past a campus vending machine

Yes, absolutely

I absolutely agree that the mind influences our physical body, however, this greatly diminishes the daily struggles of living life while disabled oversimplying the complex relationship between body & mind. We should seek understanding - especially considering all the uncertainties

Real #academic question: Can I sit in a blanket fort & watch #Bluey all day? #sociology #tiredmillennial

Can it be a blanket for?

I'm choosing to do nothing until therapy. Then I have a bunch of journals on data justice to read for my independent study

My phone is also one of the last generations where AI hasn't taken over *every* aspect of it's function... So I'm not upgrading like ever...
