“We all carry within us places of exile, our crime, our ravages. Our task is not to unleash them on the world; it is to transform them in ourselves and others.” -A. Camus
May we learn to be at ease and peaceful within ourselves, so world meditates with our best selves.

This should go without saying, but I find it necessary: K-12 teachers are the OGs of #instructionaldesign . With the rise of online learning, many assume instructional design became a thing. However, K-12 teachers have been designing instruction from the very beginning. #teaching #ID #learning

“People think that in order for something to work, it has to be complicated, but a lot of times the opposite is true. We usually reach success by putting the simple truths that we know into practice. The basis of any struggle is people coming together to fight against a common enemy.” —Assata Shakur

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Things I think about when drinking my tea early mornings: I don’t think any of our money should have the faces of people on it. It should all be animals; the squirrel should be on the $20 bill. Bigfoot should probably go on the $2 bill since we only see it every now and again. Thoughts? ☺️ #bluesky

I want to be mindful of what I say on this platform, but there are just somethings that I cannot let go of when it comes to politics. So I’m going to practice what Tay and others called Engaged Buddhism. I can no longer not say things out loud. #revolutionarysolidarity #resisttyranny #karuna

A quote just resurfaced from Ian A. Cook as I frustratingly seek a job: "So much of our misery grows out of the gap between where we are and where we think we ought to be." I am working to let go of the fear of uncertainty and lightly ride the winds of change. #letgo #patience #hopeful #academicsky

People, can we normalize the fact that not everyone is using Facebook, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok? I value my mental and emotional wellness, and those particular sites don’t. #discover #mentalwellness #academicsky

Two publications this past summer: a book chapter and continued editor and authorship of this critical composition reader. Now, if I only could find a full-time teaching position. #academicsky #composition #motherhood #RereadingAmerica13ed #Mothering #intergenerationaltrauma

Responding to my students in my #AfrAmStudies course, I came up with my best sentence for today: "A new kind of African resilience was established on the march to the slavers and certified in the bowels of those ships." I sure do love studying and discussing AfrAm culture!🤩 #discover #academicsky

Awww! I loved his environmental politics and his films, especially Barefoot in the Park and The Way We Were. May he continue his journey with light and love. #robertredford

I really want to work as an instructional designer in higher ed, but people see me as a higher ed administrator who is overqualified for such a role as instructional designer...

BlueSkylites, despair and sadness pervaded my spirit the last few weeks. I have decided to return to Monday Metta: May you move through the hours ahead with gentleness, touching life without harm, and finding small moments of sweetness, even amidst uncertainty. #metta #photography #artsky #flower
