One thing this AWS shortage has taught me is the amount of academics who prefer to begin their weeks with grading and emails on Monday morning. Can we talk about how many of us apparently structure our day in that order? 🤣

Twenty minutes into Pokemon Legends: Z-A and I could write an entire second dissertation just about this.

Once again inordinately jealous of my cat, Stitch, and her lack of thoughts. Head so empty.

I think I teach and present with my hands and then I see videos of it happening and I realize the problem is more profound than anticipated. 😅

You know the funniest thing just happened. A big old rainbow cover the sky up in downtown Orlando near my place. I got this feeling. Do whatever you want to the crosswalks. We’re still here. 💕

Tuesday was my first teaching day of the semester, and Jimmy Buffett’s “Volcano” was stuck in my head the whole day. That seems foreboding in a way I can’t quite put my finger on.

After watching Daredevil: Born Again, I’d like to humbly ask that Charlie Cox be worse at his job.

I got my back to school vaccines and I’m happy to report that the brain fog has completely turned off my ability to think and my mind is at peace, highly recommended, 10/10.

I need to not be left unsupervised in a Lowe’s like, ever again.

After a solid 15 years of having a recurring nightmare about signing up for a college class, not knowing I was enrolled, and then getting an F, I have now unlocked the teacher version. It’s similar, where you somehow don’t find out that you’ve been assigned a class until the term is over. 😵‍💫😮‍💨

From the Q&A of my panel presentation at Console-ing Passions 2025 at Georgia State. Wonderful meeting presenters Chelsea Brtis from UNC Charlotte and Brandon Blackburn from UC Irvine. 💕

My caprese toast game has improved as summer has gone on.

Occasionally I will do things like run around SeaWorld for a shiny metal. The armadillo definitely wanted to know why so many people were running through his house.

And if you haven't read this shattering ProPublica piece about the effects of Covid on pregnancies, you should take a deep breath and do so:
“God, No, Not Another Case.” COVID-Related Stillbirths Didn’t Have to Happen.
A lack of testing data and government guidance led many to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy, unwittingly increasing their chances of a stillbirth.

My adventure at Clemson at Clemson for the Civil Engagement & Voting Rights Teacher Scholars program began today with a walking tour of some of the historic Campus, including the Woodlawn Cemetery.

Next week I head up to Clemson to participate in a wonderful professional development opportunity funded by the Mellon Foundation, the Civic Engagement & Voting Rights Teacher Scholars Program. Huzzah!

once again I delight in telling an audience of international students all about the Pizza Hut Book It Program - a favorite literacy sponsor of my own I mention when teaching Brandt’s Sponsors of Literacy.

My favorite part of Spotify is getting absolutely roasted by some algorithm at least once a week. 💀
