Did you spend your Saturday morning converting measurements of ionized radiation exposure or are you normal

She had dental surgery many years ago and sometimes her gum flap will get caught on one of the few teeth she has left, making her look like a cat doing a Di Nero impression

I haven’t done aerial in two months now, but I’ve been trying to get back into some movement practice. Now I’m sick again 😂
Convinced chest opening and upper thoracic spine mobility will save me in more ways than 1

Sound on to hear a #chicken literally laughing at her flockmates because she got a juicy grub out of the ground and they didn’t (this is mid victory lap around the yard)

53 degrees (F) after a snow melt means compost turning and ivy pulling. The hens are loving it. I don’t mind their help scratching up the raised bed this time of year.

Sorry but I canceled class. A delay til 10 when my classes start at 10 just isn’t hitting when I and all my students were hoping for a snow day… so a snow day we shall have.

Here’s a first for a Monday: waking up to an email from a student who wants to THANK ME FOR A LESSON I TAUGHT LAST WEEK.

He said that a metaphor I used in the lesson on “the sociological imagination” really stuck with him so much that he shared it with his group for his Honors class project.

The ice rain is both unpleasant and surreal much like our current timeline

Forgot I took this last night… the wide angle lens distorted her face because she was laying like 4” from my face.
Her, watching me watch Drag Race.

Accurate depiction of me after the third class of the day when two students stayed after to engage with me more personally and one of them says I am a good teacher

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Actually pretty depleted of hope right now. Being a queer woman whose professional expertise is not just in writing but in writing about science, research, social change and equity….. I’ve always known this world wasn’t built for me. But it’s really hitting me hard this morning.

I’ve always enjoyed teaching Mills’ (1959) The Sociological Imagination at the beginning of the semester. It’s the oldest text we read & I find that Mills’ main points still resonate… “people often feel that their private lives are a series of traps… they sense… they cannot overcome their troubles”

I forgot how much I love working in my yard this time of year. Sunny and 39-45 f is amazing weather for doing the #winter #gardening tasks. After almost a month of below freezing temps in January my hens are also loving free-ranging in the dirt with me.

Been working on this dining table doodle for the last month on and off. Mysterious plant person with an orchid growing on their head?

Should I add color to this??
