do I need coffee. no. do I want coffee? yes.

it feels like I've done so much and it's only 10 am. a benefit of waking up at 5:30 and also having just enough of a head cold so that everything feels like a lil struggle

if you can’t get even imagine the blessing I could be to your life then what are we even doing

gray, gloomy and quiet. my kind of morning in the city

we are relying too much on lawsuits to fix what is rotten in this country

remembering why I liked to do group projects alone

just because it’s digital doesn’t mean it’s better

same. a remedy I am trying this year is getting involved at the local level. community board meetings, here I come

are we going to get less inclusive emojis now 😭

Donald Trump Goes On Rant About DEI In Response To DC Plane Crash The president also blamed the Biden and Obama administrations for the overnight plane crash in Washington, D.C., where there have been no reported survivors.

they are really going to blame black people for every little thing that happens aren’t they

If this administration reminds of nothing else, it makes clear something I say all the time: race is the central organizing feature of American politics and American life. Nothing else comes close.

These fools can’t even talk about a tragic plane crash without talking about “DEI.”

I hope you enjoyed MLK day and Juneteenth!

there is no escape

would love for news organizations to rethink their breaking news alerts

feeling gutted for all of the meme queens and kings I follow… your tiktok reposts were the highlight of my ig stories 🥲

it’s okay to want Trump to save TikTok… asking for a friend

thought: why am I so distracted
thought: did I have coffee today
thought: yes, a fancy "black n' white cookie" latte from the PE coffee chain
thought: ahh yes, but that was hours ago
thought: ... it's okay to get a another, right? I'll be okay, right??

the amount of people who pneumonia… folks the pandemic is not over

drinking coffee and feeling happy about it

when you do all of your sleep rituals: eye mask, white noice machine, weighted blanket and you wake up all excited thinking you’d done a good nights sleep and you look at the time because yes you also turned off the phone and it’s not even 4am yet

even though I am checking my phone (what feels like) every 5 minutes, I feel grateful to have (re-)found my public library as a wonderful place to work

honestly a warning for all the processed food we eat in the U.S, stabilizers, preservatives and additives would be more apt guidance from the surgeon general …

sometimes I take working from home for granted and then there are days like this. the final few hours of a very long week. I can lay on my couch with my laptop on my belly typing away and clocking those hours.

it’s so cold I got shin splints on my walk to the grocery store

our expectations about nye is what ruins nye parties

not me trying to go to the library to lock in on the day it’s closed 🥴

wasn’t into Moana until I was really into Moana 2. imagine weeks of traversing an ocean expanse and meeting new people and lands with joy and celebration rather than conquest and violence

we need more holidays in the spring/summer where you text/call/email your friends and wish them the best.

I could use this kind of love/thought-of ness all year round 💓

sensory deprivation is truly self care

I actually don’t understand how people walk into a subway car and stop moving as if there is no one else who needs to get on
