el-sayed signs all over small town, red michigan gives me perhaps more hope than i should allow myself. this isn’t even my state, but i’m counting on him as much as mamdani. 🤞🤞🤞

so many ghosts in my life would be loving this brewers win. i hope my dad, grandpa & lee are all hanging out with ueck somewhere together. 💙💛

it’s been a glorious 32 years since i came out at 17. (though i knew since i was 6 or 7… ten years of hiding my authenticity in the formative years was brutal). be yourself unapologetically (unless you’re a prick) & happy coming out day!

said bar, LFG (pretty typical wisco basement bar)

who wants to rage-clean the basement with me? see you down there (there’s a bar if that entices you).

have the standards to work in hospital administration been lowered or am i simply trapped in us healthcare hell? lol jk redundant sob

saw my octo bff yesterday & i’m so sentimental i had three good, healing cries. plus, chores completed. elders have so much to offer. listen to & learn from their stories. let them know they’re seen. have patience. if we’re lucky we will one day be old.

You ever been in a room where there was an annoying noise, like a particularly loud AC or something, but you get used to it over time, and then it stops, and you can't believe how quiet everything is all of a sudden? It's gonna feel like that times a million.

interesting. i recall my muslim neighbors in brooklyn being nervous just to be outside. my landlady was also muslim & decorated my hand with beautiful henna. within a day someone walked past me & called me a sympathizer. your memory has been whitewashed.

But that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.

sometimes i think that watching the amazing cosmic awareness of duffy moon in fifth grade was some sort of fever dream that never really happened. ✨
