my doctor that Tuesday (and really, throughout my entire pregnancy) shrugged off my symptoms as "just pregnancy" so it took a lot of convincing from the people around me to go to the hospital Thursday, but thank goodness i did
i spent six days in the hospital and my son spent a month in the NICU.
had a check-up with my dr. on a Tuesday with all the signs of pre-eclampsia. they did nothing and i finally drove myself to the hospital on a Thursday, rapidly got worse, and gave birth via emergency c-section that Saturday morning

for example, a student in our seminar space 3d printed a ball this semester and has been periodically bouncing it and it drives me up the wall!
told my husband i'd buy a ball for our little only if he promised not to bother me with it. the repetitive noise of a ball bouncing really annoys me for some reason. i know it'll come with the territory eventually though
also, apparently my big boss is thinking of putting a student worker in my cubicle, so that's what i'll be hyperfocusing on today
planning on applying to a couple PhD programs this year, so I'm actually creating a CV instead of my plain old resume.

Attacking survivors of sexual assault and making them look “crazy” so they aren’t believed is one of the most common tricks played by abusers to exonerate themselves from the violence they caused. I cannot believe people have to be told this in 2026.
good psychiatry appointment this morning - hoping to see some improvement in my mental health symptoms over the next month or so
Melanie making a statement without communicating with the White House is kind of interesting. She’s getting ahead of…. something.

I think it's bad for the President to threaten to annihilate an entire culture and i do not think you are being alarmist if you take his threats seriously and literally.
I just don’t understand why nobody is stopping him. Stop him. Stop this madman. Stop him.
saw The Drama on saturday and have a lot of thoughts about it but i don't want to spoil it for anyone so 🤫
Why would I use "AI," I actually know how to fucking write
this week has been hard. trial is set re: the murder of my brother by law enforcement. i had to tell my supervisor, and it's just difficult telling people who don't know about it what happened.

i’ve gotten a nail in one of my tires about once a year since i’ve gotten this car, so about five years. my husband has never had this happen, and he’s had his car longer
discovered a tiny nail in my tire this morning, which is so, so fun.
