No one told me how much of grad school would involve days like today: brain MRI, FL-41 glasses, and desperately hoping something helps my migraines.

Ah, here we go again. Normal press conference stuff.

Is there actual evidence of this? Later on in the article, the suggested evidence is “the Trump campaign spent money on transphobic ads and then won” which….is not convincing.

So proud of my sister for fighting for a fair wage for herself and her coworkers!! Union strong in the Royden family ✊

Here he is having the time of his life at the oncologist because he could look out of the little window into the hallway.

Goth update: He was diagnosed with what we thought was a sarcoma in August, and had it removed in September. It was actually a much rarer form of cancer, but the oncologist says he’s likely fine since they got the whole tumor and there are no signs of it having spread! So happy for my sweet guy.

George is a real one, though.

Spending today learning about the median voter, who I would say is not particularly well informed about policies (essentially no benefits for undocumented immigrants are federal, and Virginia allows abortion until 26 weeks).

Goth had a seizure on Tuesday and I am now overcome with anxiety about his well-being, which I guess maybe is just what being a parent will be like for the rest of my life once we have kids??

Turkey sighting on my street for the first time. Disastrous.

Someone says I should NOT check my email in the morning. Also five minutes after this, he put his big head on my laptop and managed to turn the brightness all the way down 👍

Goth says he definitely could get a squirrel that’s about forty feet up in this tree and he’s simply choosing not to.

anyway Goth is sleeping with his legs crossed, exhausted from his first day back at Harvard yesterday after a summer of baddie boy behavior at home

here are some pictures of my sweet gothie boy

lmao
