I was having a bad day and my mom sent me this and I can't stop thinking about it. This is my cat Ernie.

i like to imagine that when kirby eats the bread he'll have a little bread hat after and his new special attack will be going "on hon hon" or something

In addition to not bringing your phones to protests... don't bring them to doctor's visits either. Data aggregators know when you go to places like Planned Parenthood, and that data is for sale.

In the same 24 hours, scotus made abortion illegal in half the country and the Senate of the largest, most "progressive" state in the Union confirmed that yes, they would like to keep prison slavery in place. That's sitting heavy with me today. #ACA3 #RoeVsWade #EndTheException

I thought this was sarcastic at first, but it's a genuine piece of advice it seems... Sounds like a recipe for burnout to me?
Grad Students: When I was doing my Ph.D., I used to love Sundays. During the week, I’d be teaching, meeting with students, etc. But on Sundays, I could really dig into my writing, coding, reading, etc. I was so excited to have a full day to make progress. Highly recommended.

The reason I'm being open with what can happen to me at any time of the day is because 99.9% of the time, I'm able bodied. I can run, I can eat what I want, I can breathe in pollen & be fine. But with idiopathic anaphylaxis, I don't know what triggers a reaction. It just happens

Today some of my neighbors told me that all my plants outside my door inspired them to put plants outside their doors and I'll be living off that for at least a week. Next step: rooftop community garden. 🌿
