@AnnaEBeaudry1 tbh I didn’t realize fire ants were an option and now I’m even more concerned

being both very prone and allergic to bug bites is a helpful practice in not repressing my emotions as I am currently experiencing irrational fury at texas summers

“would’ve could’ve should’ve” has been my deconstruction anthem since midnights came out, you heard it here first

it was beautiful to hear a woman who spoke so profoundly into the church of my childhood reckon with the racism that is inherent to evangelism in such a humble & compelling way—it makes me hopeful that justice will one day be the Church’s holy emblem

I got to chat with @BethMooreLPM this morning before her talk on racism & the white church at @Baylor and I admit I fangirled just a little—

@TheCollegehawk “ad ensure” and “world limit” does not incite confidence in your editing abilities

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

just realized I’ve written all my seminar papers for the semester in british paper sized documents and am therefore tremendously over the page limit

am I experiencing reverse culture shock

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

writing feels like eating something weird from the recesses of your fridge and getting nauseous—you know you’ll feel better if you throw it up but you just can’t make yourself do something that horrible

anyways I’m writing this tweet instead of my seminar paper

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

@_lexlee_ why are you just the absolute most encouraging person alive ily

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

Border patrol agents using whips against black people does not “need context”. It’s blatant white supremacy, anti-blackness, and the very expression of American hatred at heart of ideas like “borders” and “safety”. It is not just horrible—it completely disregards black humanity.

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

@storytellerkath that’s so kind, thank you so much!

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

@MDeanClark thank you—me too!

[reilly fitzpatrick @reifitzpatrick]

@storytellerkath I’m doing okay—hoping it’ll be a mild case! tysm friend 💕
