- "Just now, I felt like I wanted to be alone/ for a long time, in a folding chair on the lawn/ with all my private agonies, but then I saw you" --"The Great Blue Heron of Dunbar Road" @adalimon
- "But isn't this/ how it happens? Aren't all great/ love stories, at their core, great mistakes?" -@chenchenwrites "To the Guanacos at the Syracuse Zoo"
- "You remember too much,/ my mother said to me recently./ Why hold onto all that? And I said,/ Where can I put it down?" --Anne Carson, "The Glass Essay"

- "And I love you for all of your splashing. What you did with your body, how you made it a drum. And I say your play and your thrash are prophetic. And I say your name is a verb, a demand. And I offer my days to your urgent instruction." -Alexis Gumbs (@alexispauline), UNDROWNED
- Just a girl having a full-blown freakout over the wienermobile

- Bringing some football content here for a second. Iowa Hawkeye fans booing every single injured Penn State player is some of the most classless fan behavior that I have ever seen and they should be ashamed of themselves.
- Yesterday, my friends and I dressed up and had a zoom graduation ceremony for me and my friend who were both supposed to graduate this semester. The highlights included both of us making speeches and everyone going around and saying nice things about us. It was a good day.
