got a piece of cilantro stuck in my eyelashes if you’re wondering how hard I ate these tacos tonight

It me.
Anyone else rip their mask off when they get in to the car like they’ve just finished a disappointing surgery on Grey’s Anatomy

I returned the book to the library app this morning and got all choked up because I realized I don’t know how many more books I will have a chance to read. Reading has truly been one of the great loves and escapes of my life. #cancerlogues

Someone stuck googly eyes on the statue of this lion. And it’s really changed his whole vibe.

in today’s act of useless rebellion, the 17YO refuses to look at the senior school supply list because “it doesn’t matter” and will instead order what he “feels like” getting. SENIOR YEAR: Intuitive School Supplies™

I am at the hospital for my first series of medical appointments since my brain surgery and there are a surprising number of people here who apparently don’t understand their nose is connected to their lungs. and who also apparently need to snack. legit WTF moment.

not quite 2 weeks since I had brain surgery. upon reflection, I don’t recommend “awake craniotomy” showing up as a scheduled procedure on your EMR without anyone talking to you about it. but stage 4 cancer is rude like that. doesn’t leave a lot of space for humanity.

since my brain surgery I feel less tethered to this world- like I’m floating between this life and the next. I’m sure it’s swelling and science but it also feels mystical somehow. it makes my appreciate how connected I felt to my life so far on this journey. #cancerlogues

I took my first shower since my brain surgery today. It was scary. Imagine a shower being scary. But I’m grateful for each step and each day I’m alive. Small steps. #cancerlogues

If RBG can stay on the Supreme Court despite multiple cancers and infection for the good of the whole country, you can wear a damn mask.

Schools can't even control lice, you think they can control Covid-19.

I miss the tuna confit sandwich with preserved lemon from Be’Wiched Deli. Does any other MSP restaurant make anything close to approximating it?

I just muted <redacted> for 1 day and my unread tweets went from 441 to 211. Do you tell someone who you don’t know IRL that it’s highly likely they are experiencing a (manic?) mental health issue of some sort? Or just mute and move on?
