I got my booster and flu shot at the same time the other day. I happened to be eligible for the shot and also live in an area where COVID vaccination sites are everywhere and very accessible. NYC is doing a good job. There are ads that if you get a COVID shot at some of their sites, they will give you a free 7-day unlimited MetroCard. Not bad, eh? 31 likes 6 comments

I recently turned 27 and wanted to create a reflective post around it. The illustration and blog post ended up not really being about turning 27, but rather a piece reflecting on my early and mid-twenties. The essence of it all is how early twenties me had huge dreams that mid-twenties me did not live out for the most part. During that time of life, I judged myself and was hard on myself basing off of my “failure” to achieve those big dreams. 58 likes 15 comments

Wrote a piece for @canadiantraveller on why we shouldn’t use “Third world” and “Developing” to refer to countries anymore and why Global North and Global South are better (although not perfect) terms to use. Read in @canadiantraveller link in bioooo 🤗 29 likes 0 comments

It has been a while since I have seen a stunning sunset from the sky, in the plane. I’ve flown a decent amount this year, and as I fly more the older I get, the more I get used to it as solely a mode of transportation. An airbus, at least within the United States. 24 likes 1 comments

I watched Shang-Chi recently and enjoyed it so much I wrote a blog post about it and created these slides. Now, not trying to get your hopes up, but it really is one heck of a solidly good Marvel movie. Think action, soundtrack, fighting, humor, and all the classic parts of what makes a Marvel movie good, Shang-Chi probably has it. 27 likes 3 comments
