Met Captain America yesterday ❤️💙
A little upset I didn't get to do the pose I wanted, I was so flustered I didn't even get to ask. Regardless, it was such an awesome moment to see him in person after loving him for YEARS.

"Obi-Wan, there is good in him... I know. I know there is still." -Padme's last words

I love cosplaying Padme because she's always welcomed so warmly! Everyone at @fanexpochicago is so sweet!

The most photogenic I've ever looked for a photo op 😂 *please ignore the fact I'm the palest person in this*

It was SO COOL meeting the cast of Daredevil Born Again (well, this was my 3rd time meeting Charlie Cox but whose really counting🤷‍♀️)!!!
I'm absolutely in love with Wilson Bethel's joy in this photo. This was at 2:30pm, so he was interacting for four HOURS prior and still smiling 😭❤️

A labor of love, 5 months in the making! From an impulsive message on Etsy in November to 6000 hand-glued rhinestones (600 of which were glued the night before). I'm so proud!

10 years ago I graduated high school, moved to the middle of the city, started college, and met new people that would become my best friends (and roomie!). Joined a high school play for the first time, became unbearably close to my castmates and stage husband @iamcarone, went to 2 proms @jranton20, graduated with my best friends alongside me- some of which are no longer here. Got scholarships for multiple colleges, chose my dream school for a program I changed out of a year later, and ran into Joe Jonas on the first day of class 🥴. Celebrated a Cubs World Series win, was seen on the news leading a protest when I told my parents I was "studying," and saw sooo many Chicago parades. Talked about @succeedforexcess54 cheeks THE FIRST DAY WE MET 🫣, ate ice cream on the floor and complained about ex's, danced to K-Pop until 1am in the kitchen with total strangers, and ate enough ramen to put me off of it for YEARS. Some of these people are parents now, some married/engaged, and I had the pleasure of seeing them in their best phase (obviously).
It hasn't been the best decade, but the good times will be missed. #2016 by @mskierks

Got to see the best concert ever last night @mychemicalromance. It was everything 13-year-old me would have dreamed of and more. Also @billycorgan made a surprise appearance, no biggie.

Went to see Spider-Menace at @msichicago and loved every minute. Will definitely be going again!
(Yes, that's me checking out SpiderMan's ass. Leave me alone.)
