Have used the AirFanta 3Pro enough to give a review of the product! This thread includes my thoughts on this air purifier, which I’ve used during travel (packed in my luggage, in hotel, & at an academic conference) and in my office.

On the tube

finding out the artemis ii astronauts talked with poets and studied poetry so they knew how to properly convey what they were seeing in words and saying that the arts played a huge role in their time in space. oh my god

My friendships raised my standards for love.

the most radical thing you could do, is be SO much of yourself, that you inspire the desire in others to be even more of themselves.

some people are genuinely filled with love and there's no catch.

Black women getting associate’s, bachelor’s, master’s, PhDs, doctorates, certifications, businesses, careers, traveling the world, healing, and breaking generational curses yessssss 🎓✨🤎

unfortunately, suffer in grad school 😣

Whenever I catch myself not reading things completely, I remember that anti intellectualism is on the rise and I don’t want to be a victim😭

higher education is so important to me i get so emotional seeing ppl graduate from any level bc it really is life changing

from community college to phd, i WILL be celebrating u

one of the most important life advice i can give: drop the self-help book and read poetry instead. you don't need something to tell you how to be. instead, get lost in a sonnet, be confused by a haiku, and eventually, you'll find whatever it is you're looking for.

everytime I think this is the most unprepared I've been in an exam, another one tops it off

do you ever miss your first online friends

I don't post often because I've moved to Bluesky but I am alive and living my best life. I've lost 135 pounds since Dec '23 and I'm still plugging away on my degree. Oh, and I drink too much coffee ☕️

I love my country Chicago

People romanticize all-nighters too much. Sleep deprivation is not academic excellence.

Much to do, much to learn, much to be.

seeing queer people graduating college makes me so so happy!!
