@joadanso This feels like a lifetime ago. 😭

@taylororgeron There will be dogs and art and music and life again in the White House.

[About South @aboutsouthpod]

And we’re going to keep doing it. 💙

The hardest class I’ve ever taken was AP Physics. I often stayed after class on exam days because as an aural / oral learner, I needed to talk through the hardest questions aloud. My teacher was so kind and understanding. This is infuriating.

The ProctorU software— even the Review+ version— is harmful and invasive to students.

@joadanso We ate COMMUNAL cheesecake. From a pan of dubious origins!

Look, DNC, when I told you I’d vote for a wet sock with a D next to his name, I didn’t think you’d take it as a challenge.

@joadanso The Varsity is a game day tradition for us when Georgia Tech plays at home, but the last time I went was with a group of exchange students from Germany.

Also, please feel free to share! I often give similar talks to college students. Even though this is personal, it is still important for people to hear survivors tell their stories.

[Kelly Vines @syntax_ofthings]

I’ve not shared this before because it’s so deeply personal, but I sat down with folks at #borderlineidealist to talk about my experience with domestic violence and PTSD. You can listen here: https://t.co/rle2GLkxZz

Mia is my handy dandy space-heater locator.

@jshelat1 Hold on, I think I’ve got a bingo.

The tuition halftime competition makes me ill.

In the series finale of About South, we travel to the E.W. Shell Fisheries Center at Auburn University to discuss a subject near and dear to our hearts -- crayfish. Thanks to Jim Stoeckel and Brian Helms for letting us join them for the day!

@Bloomily Ipsy also sends sheet masks and skincare products too, and now that I’m over 30 and more concerned about my skin, it’s been great. I wouldn’t normally buy a moisturizing sunscreen for my face, but I should probably use one, and having it shipped to my door makes it easier.

[Kelly Vines @syntax_ofthings]

@Bloomily I also really love my Ipsy subscription. It’s $10 a month for 5 products, and I’ve found a lot of wonderful alternatives to more expensive products through them.

[Kelly Vines @syntax_ofthings]

@Bloomily I really like everything I’ve tried from Pixi by Petra. I’ve used their eye shadows and their blushes. I especially love the blushes. They’re sold in Target. A kind of middle-of-the-road brand in terms of price.

[About South @aboutsouthpod]

We’re walking into this final week of the podcast like:

[Kelly Vines @syntax_ofthings]

Just set up the microphone for one last @aboutsouthpod recording. We’ve made 64 episodes together, and I couldn’t be more grateful for our team and our listeners. Saying goodbye is hard.

[Kelly Vines @syntax_ofthings]

@TeachMeShari Congratulations for making it through! It’s all downhill from here! 💜

The scariest part about _Death Becomes Her_ is that anyone could look at Meryl Streep in 1992 (when she was only 43) and say she looks old. First impression is that Bruce Willis is the only sane person in that audience. 😱
