a month ago, i got promoted at youtube! 8 years now at google, too. finally had a chance to celebrate it with my husb.

i love how becker (2000) talks about audience awareness of an improvised set, in the sense that some audiences knows when the risks in that musical moment are high or instead familiar territory - almost like synchronization

on sat, i'm on a panel to share my own take about sociology+tech (organized by the fab @sgbuggs), in particular through the lens of my past work on teens, tech, and schooling. but truthfully i'm mostly excited to be in the presence of @AprylW, @thisismarcusb, and @blackgaygemini.

second, i'm zipping over to society for the study of social problems' annual meeting (my 1st time!) for a panel on "The Post-Pandemic Job Market: Prepping for Careers Beyond Academia." you can hear me/others talk about our paths to become hybrid tech researchers and academics.
