My project for the Madison County Humane Society fundraising auction. My first woodworking items for sale. Can't wait to see how they do. And the sale benefits the animals.

I didn't realize I was holding office hours tonight while working from my patio. Plenty of hummingbirds buzzing around as I grade papers. #nature #AcademicBluesky #PhDLife

Mark your calendars. New exhibition coming up soon. Her reflections on fighting the big C. And, yes, that is her work at the top. A four-panel abstract painting. #Imarriedanartist #cancersucks

Grading is done. The summer semester is over. Grade submission tomorrow and then a bit of rest. I can't wait to work on my garage and setting up my workshop. #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #PhDLife #Woodworking #HomeWorkshop #NeededRest

Why am I not surprised? This is a travesty. There is no legitimate reason to pay people with disabilities less than minimum wage. This is nothing but greed.
ICYMI: The Trump administration will allow employers to keep paying people with developmental #disabilities less than minimum wage, in some cases less than $1 per hour
Trump Administration Squashes Plan To End Subminimum Wage Employment Of People With Disabilities
Federal officials are giving employers the green light to continue paying many workers with disabilities less than minimum wage.

So, I did a thing recently. I agreed to take on a more administrative role in my department. Starting this fall, I will be Associate Department Chair and Director of ABA Programs in the largest department on campus. Am I crazy? Is it the heat? #EduSky #AcademicBlueSky #WhatHaveIDone #MovinOnUp

This is getting ridiculous. The number of teacher ed programs that are affected across the state is incredible. Given the teacher shortage, I just can't believe there was no consultation with students or thought given to the actual effects.

Huge fan of Brian Cox. And I love the sentiment here. We should always be curious and skeptical. Science evolves and grows as new information comes to light. That doesn't make what came before wrong. Just outdated. Never stop learning. #EduSky #Education

Apparently, it is now the law that academics teaching behavior analysis need to be licensed. So, now I can add an additional 3 letters after my name. LBA. Just another thing I have to freakin' pay for every few years. 😒
