Even if something isn’t expired shaking it out of the container, or worse, having to pry it out…? No thank you 😭😭😭

BJJ keeps me sane but trying to follow drills after 8-9 hours of nursing school is a little like white noise. I’m doing it though!!

This was never about data. This was never about national security. It was ALWAYS about silencing our voices. It was about keeping us apart. It was about keeping us from being informed. It was about CONTROL. #tiktokban

TikTok being gone makes me unbelievably angry. I wasn’t even that attached to the app - I started using it in August - the hypocrisy is what pisses me off

It’s the same picture

You were bigger than the whole sky

anyway back to the gym tonight I am ✨ excited ✨

I wish they’d either ban TikTok or not I’m tired of waiting 😴

it’s been a little under 2 weeks since I last went to the gym (confluence of factors) should I go to open mat tomorrow or just wait until Monday night? I start classes Tuesday so I want to get as much in as I can but I feel like I forgot everything

looking through my Twitter bookmarks is so funny because like…why did I bookmark some of those tweets? Absolutely no context

I miss life before November 4

merry christmas everyone 🎄♥️🫶🏻

I haven’t felt the effort this much since probably my first two-three months of BJJ

half our gym is tournament training and this was my first night “back” really so I feel like I’m going to die, there isn’t a place on my body that isn’t sore. It’s awesome

things not in shambles: my shoulder as of today
things in shambles: everything else

first full jiu jitsu class since my injury and I’m fine! still did all the ice, ibuprofen etc and will probably never stop doing PT exercises for the rest of my life, but I’m so happy 🥰

if I can ever find one that’s made well enough for me to trust it 🥲

I’m a big believer in tossing off the second leg as well. Lapel grips are one of the reasons I prefer gi!

Yep! and running man which is second nature on my strong side but I’m still using my left so it felt like day one again, haha.

I was cursing through my pre-semester pharmacology work and then a page so dense with information and dosage calculations appeared that I just shut off my PC and walked away…I’m terrified

anyway I’m happy with my progress, I got through a night of armbar and armbar escape drills and pulled off a rolling bow and arrow choke which is not bad for someone with a unsteady shoulder. I only got two six minute rolls in but the week I got injured I couldn’t even warm up, so…

I still hate that I can’t even get through the full round of rolls but I can’t make my shoulder heal faster; I would if I could. The last month of chaos has been a nightmare for my physical and mental health and I’ve been funneling all of my focus into healing my shoulder

I could’ve sworn Sunday would’ve been 6 weeks since I got injured but it won’t even be 5 week until Monday. I’m doing really well for only being 4.5 weeks out and everybody is being weirdly mocking about me only rolling 2-3 times instead of like, 5-6 right now

New breed, considering ibjjf in February! Depends on my school schedule.

I got my first successful sweep to submission on an upper belt (that they didn’t give up or go easy on) so I’m happy with that especially given that I was forced to take 4 weeks off basically 🥹

They were at the exact same time! Conundrum. Went with the Gi training since that’s what I’m competing

meme Bad = hold all social media accountable for harvesting and selling our data good = ban TikTok

BJJ tomorrow morning I still don’t know if I’m going to the no gi seminar or regular gi class, I feel like my shoulder is still a little fragile for no gi but I want to go damn it 😭

people on eBay are wild they’ll literally ask “hey will you accept 60% of what you listed this for 20 minutes ago?” and be dead serious

Got some real rolls in last night and the difference in my mental health was almost silly like I didn’t want to come home and just
