I study the intersection of identity development + social media + #literacies at a university.

Big fan of critical thinking, civil discourse, silliness, and dismantling injustice. I also like my dog and paranormal stuff.
Ma’am. I feel like she should have been a little more frightened, but I’m glad she wasn’t. When I passed, she was still hanging.

Woah. If you need me, I’ll be contemplating my existence for the foreseeable future.

Tallulah! She likes to lay on the air conditioning vents and with children.

Closing out May, the month #friere passed in 1997, I’m reflecting and writing about all his teachings offer us in our current landscape (hellscape). #literacies

But she’s beautiful and the goodest girl.

I love my dog so much, but why does she chew on inanimate objects that can give her splinters? RIP to this colored pencil. #dogsky #dogs

#literacies folk- this book is a wonderful #empathy builder for young readers. Sensitive content, but I feel it’s OK for 4th and up. Important story and beautifully written.

I have to write, but I’d die before disturbing her. This literature review can wait until later or tomorrow. #academicwriting #acwri #edusky

Educators and researchers - we can do it all and unfortunately must. We’ve got this :)

Rereading Freire and Macedo and stumbled upon the reference to Chomsky’s discussion of democracy. The importance of literacy educators to think deeply on Freire’s conceptualization of literacy as empowerment can’t be overstated. #literacies #edusky

Just put the finishing touches on our article arguing for strong foundational immediate literacy skills for younger children prior to screen use (centered around the teaching practices of an amazing elementary educator) #medialiteracy #media #literacies #edusky #academicsky #acwri

It is winter break, anyone else on #academicsky have their heads out of the game? I need motivation- but while I wait for that to come, here is my #puppy Tallulah enjoying the winter wonderland #dogsky #dogs #winter #blacklab

Here’s a break from typical programming. We did an impromptu photo shoot with my dog Tallulah and she is the most beautiful girl in the world so I had to share. #dogs #puppies #happy #dogsky

My daughter insisted on making the layers of the earth pictures to your left out of cake pops. I think she nailed it #edusky #science
