Thank you for this reminder. Thursday will be 4 years since my dad died and it both feels like yesterday and forever ago at the same time.

I do think my parents found it curious that teenage me, who was not raised going to church at all, was suddenly listening to an artist who was mostly known for her Christian music 🀣🀣🀣

It’s not a Jesus-y show if that’s what K is thinking πŸ˜‚ She talks about love and compassion and caring for each other but not in a preachy way. And she’s got a whole contingent of gay fans ❀️

I celebrated NCOD by seeing one of my favorite singers in concert! Who was coincidentally my first big celebrity girl crush before I put 2 and 2 together πŸ™ƒ

West Chester and other state schools got fake active shooter calls as swatting issues continue. Here’s how they responded. West Chester University was among several Pennsylvania state universities that received active shooter calls on Sunday. Swatting has increased nationwide on college campuses.

At least 4 universities in PA got hoax calls about shooting incidents on Sunday. Article about the ones at West Chester, Millersville, Shippensburg - all targeting libraries. Bucknell also received one of these calls, also targeted at our library. share.inquirer.com/ZxrMfw

the only reason why I can say I've never locked myself out of my office in almost 15 years is because all the offices in our suite use the same key. And for good measure, there's an extra at the circ desk. πŸ˜‚

I was going to get that, but my doc said insurance wouldn’t necessarily cover the immunity test BUT they would cover the shot, so….

I’m in the cohort of late 70s kiddos who only got one MMR dose initially. 99% sure I got another dose right before I started college, but earlier this year my dr okayed me getting an additional booster. Glad I did after seeing %s for some of the places I traveled to this summer πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’«

I went on one about 9 years ago, after years of trying to fight anxiety, panic attacks, and depression on my own. I can’t imagine having it taken away. These people are fucking idiots.

I got home from my vacation and promptly fell asleep on the couch with Giana… at 6:30 PM. Now dragging myself upstairs; the suitcase unpacking may need to wait until tomorrow.

Here is a laugh for you = today’s ridiculous vacation sighting. At Como Park Zoo in St. Paul, they have motorized scooters dressed up as animals, and you can rent them to zip around the park. May I present… πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ¦„

My dad’s father worked as a salesman for the Boyertown Casket Company. My aunt has admitted that she and her sister played dress up in the sample burial outfits he would bring home. 😐

I’m trying to remind myself there’s still beauty in this country so I’m on a short trip chasing waterfalls in upstate NY. Here’s three I saw yesterday.

It’s hot as fuck here, too, and to conserve energy on campus they turned the thermostats in our offices up to a minimum temp of 76. The temps are supposed to be worse tomorrow. πŸ₯΅πŸ₯΅
