Just really smart work connecting some of my beginning ideas to their own experiences working on grants and working with partners and dang I'm just so glad I had the gumption to share it with them

I can't get over "he's not coming back" being said on Good Friday.

I am so hype for this!!!

thanks I will see you!

hello!! I would love to come to your talk! Can you share when / where it's happening, the app is killing me lol...

We will keep fighting and standing up for science.

like, that is HOW I am a writer and have ideas that are worth writing about. trusting this process and also maybe starting to see how some of the little pieces and ideas I've been cooking on are starting to emerge into discrete articles / classes / conference talks / book ideas (!!??!)

and also just like personally encouraging to me where I'm like ?? do I even have ideas ??? but like I'm doing the work to read in my area, take notes and respond to them, scribble little paragraphs and outlines

very reminiscent of some conversations in our English Dept here at Clemson where writing and reading are technologies for having new ideas

Mutual aid builds trust.

Trust builds relationships.

Relationships build organizing.

Organizing builds power.

Power is how we ultimately win.

6. So many people have been talking about Parable of the Sower in connection with the LA wildfires (my childhood home) and so I FINALLY read it and whewwwwww please someone call me so we can talk about it for two hours, I am still processing it

5. Using the magic powers of "hell yes I need to write a glowing book review of one of my besties' books" to have TWO free books sent to me this semester, I feel like such a scammer but I'm probably just hiding from my grading and more intimidating writing projects
