My revolution is LOVE
I love sporks, I am very ugly, and sadly, still figuring out how to read… on the fence about peanuts still though.
I love having a job I can just leave when there’s nothing on the calendar. Oh, coffees out? I’m out.

I forget bluesky exists until I’m talking with Jon and my brain is randomly like oh hey remember that app.

I like ending class with a simple “Thank you for visiting my channel. Make sure to like and subscribe.”

My inbox always being full of, “professor, did you see this?”, semesters after they took my class.. is one of my best teaching accomplishment’s 🏺

Is being in your 30s sleeping till 8:20 on your day off and feeling like you slept in?

Watching my childhood best friend talk about qualitative research methods was healing in a way you’d only understand if you were us.

If we got end of life stats, I’d want mine to tell me how many times I explained what anthropology was in my life 🏺

Yesterday I went to wash my hands before serving food..

As I turned the corner in the hallway, there it was.. my missing coffee.. sitting alone on a counter.

When I walked back in and informed my students I found it they were dumbfounded..

“Yeah we saw it, we thought you meant to leave it there”

This has truly been such a beautiful semester. I always cry when I read the end of semester reflections I have the students write. I wanted to be an anthropologist because I knew anthropology could be my tool for positively impacting others.. and as I read their words, I can see how right I was.

For my module on Public Anthropology, I asked my students to create something that said “we were here, we existed together this semester, and this is what we want you to know”. Then I stepped back and watched as they created.

It was beautiful 🏺

I did not know being a professor would mean being perceived so much.

A student asked if I liked the coffee I was drinking. I’m like well, since you asked, no, but why lol

She’s like while it’s usually slightly darker.

They know what kind of black my black coffee normally is????? 🏺

I think at this point, I can put “professional emergency contact” on my resume.. I also need to stop taking new clients.

I read my poetry at an open mic last night to a bunch of strangers.

That was so lovely.

While getting into my car I was informed by a man in the parking lot that I was parked in the faculty parking lot.

I said “I know” and carried about my business.

I need like a wrinkle or something in the shape of “not a student” on my forehead.

Just got stitches for the first time and all I could think about was when my bestie dropped a shampoo bottle on her toe in like the 7th grade and had to get stitches from her dad before school that morning. Brains are weird.

The bigger question we should be asking is: Why are Trump officials using Signal for their communications instead of formal, traceable channels?

The answer seems clear — to avoid transparency.

I gave my students ducks and beads.
They created a social hierarchy, exiled a thief, and tried rewarding the rich.
Peppa Pig was cursed.
Anthropology teaching, basically 🏺

Not me giggling the whole way to work because I’m excited to see my students reaction to our enshrined Peppa Pig 🏺

Life feels really good so consistently even when it’s not. Big shout out to my therapist and my yoga teacher.
