Was inspired by the rejection posts so I got one myself. Excited to see what the APSA Teaching Fellows contribute.

Rejection is part of the process. You're valid for feeling emotions, but we all get the big NO once in a while.

So excited.

I received the Outstanding Teaching Award for the Liberal and Performing Arts college at Southern Arkansas University. Now to vie for the Scholarship Award :D

Anyone else still use physical tools to plan their schedule? I struggle to achieve goals unless I keep reminding myself of them. Part of my #adhd , I guess.

Got to love malicious compliance. Desk workers at the gym ended up playing kidz bop after someone complained about their music. 🤣

I don't know how all of you publish multiple articles a year, but... my pre-print came out this morning and I'm over the moon. Hoping to expand this into a book-length project in the next year or two. #lgbtq #politicalscience #polisci #lgbt

Absolutely invigorated by the ArkPSA conference this weekend at Arkansas Tech. Going to shoot for a book proposal submission before spring break.

Need to find someone who will write about changes to body cam data requisition costs as a revenue arm for local law enforcement v. creating impediments to citizen desires for data. Any suggestions?

So close to the end of the semester. Want to send out a book proposal but my drive is nil right now. Good vibes to everyone in the same boat.
