Last night, in celebration of Black History Month at Hampden-Sydney College, I had the honor of meeting and introducing THE Dr. Nikki Giovanni as our keynote speaker. You can’t see it but I’m levitating—we hit it off over sardines, eels, water, bats, and our love for life forms!

I will never forget the day when I was in a pet store and I walked by a female Eclectus parrot and she said very politely said “Hi.” I turned around and there was nobody else there, just her, staring at me with soft, intelligent eyes.

Like video games, sometimes in life we encounter bonus quests with bonus rewards. One of my personal favorites was “Befriend High School Bus Driver” which let to the reward of “Limited Edition Indonesian Blueberry Ice Cream Oreos One (1) Pack”

This is a callout post for people who leave the entire fridge open while they take out and prepare food. This is extremely unnecessary and borderline evil.

Not my phone glitching literally on the release of the new iPhone 😑

Sometimes I like imagine and attempt to embody the physical/sensory experience of animals in varying degrees of classification to me. Monkey. Sheep. Bird. Starfish. Worm.

One of my fave bits from college is when I walked into the dining hall with my friends holding a leaf shaped like a Plumbob over my head and started speaking Simlish. I’ve never played Sims.

I love you, cappuccino 😚☕️
