Watching In the Heart of the Sea and rooting for the whale.

Y'all are gonna bring that same energy to end legacy admissions at universities, too... Right?

It's sad to see Asian students being used to gut Affirmative Action. A reminder that the Model Minority Myth is a tool of white supremacy, not a road to acceptance.

Watching this movie that’s supposed to take place in Bakersfield, but it’s Northridge.

My first full weekend post teaching complete. I can’t stop eating and peeing. Probably because my body needs nutrition and I can finally pee when I want. I don’t have to wait till lunch or after school in huge line.

I keep watching videos of what people can fit into bags that they carry, because I want to buy a new bag. And, thinking: Dudes don’t carry the world — a pharmacy — with them.

I just want to fit my wallet, sunglasses, reading glasses, a book and journal.

Not 5 kinds of wipes

Realizing that I probably look younger than people my age or younger is ‘cause im not in a relationship. #norelationshipgoals #winning

I had to tell one student who was annoyed at me that I care and want them to pass. That’s why I was on them. Then, the student relaxed and got to work.

Fun week of almost bullying kids into passing my class. Like I literally have to tell them which assignments to do during finals block so I don't have to fail them. If I didn't, they'd just take the L. How did we get here?

My students wrote kick-ass micro memoirs. So impressed. Some claimed that they didn’t know what to do. One wrote a beautiful, painful braided essay that wowed me to tears. So grateful to see such young talent. Wish I could have them as students for one more year

@Geniusbastard My friend growing up and I had terrible/hysterical laughs. My sister went with us to see one of the Ghostbuster movies and my sister told us after that she would never go see a funny movie with us again.

Closet cleaning, mindlessly streaming: Ambulance is Speed.
