Today's workspace...

Wasn't sure if this article would ever see the light of day, but am absolutely thrilled to have an article in the forthcoming Winter 2024/2025 of @intsecurity.bsky.social

This (not so little) gremlin demands second breakfast, elevenses, and frequent snack breaks. He is willing to volunteer for the Fellowship if the Corgis will provide adequate foods.

I have a cache of cat photos I jokingly annotate with snarky comments about teaching. It helps me stay sane. But I might need to adjust these captions to be about the MAGA craziness we are about to encounter. Any suggestions?

Happy Friday, from Poz the cat

This chonk has outgrown his cat harness and now has to use a puppy harness...

Cyber day in POLT 562 (national security policy). Always fun to ask the students how the internet works. And then they're always entertained to see my version of the internet :)

Meanwhile my Sunday morning looks like:

She did it!! My sister ran the NYC half marathon today. Now to look ahead to the NYC marathon in November. Can't wait to be there to cheer her on!

Nuclear Negotiation Simulation in strategy & national security class today. After a week talking about how to make nuclear weapons & US nonpro strategy, we jump to the Star Trek universe to see if the students (representing Federation Planets) can stop the Borg from developing nukes!

Thankful for my (too short) trip @colgateuniversity.bsky.social PCON alumni panel. Headed into the week feeling energized and excited!

Thrilled to have seen the one and only @proflupton.bsky.social, and Xan Karn, Jacob Mundy, Susan Thompson and Karen Harpp. Amazing and wonderful humans 😊

Trying new things...yoga to help with lymphadema. The cat couldn't stop himself from *helping* too 😺😺

Me too, Poz, me too

Jimmy Fund Walk (10k this year) in the books!! Honored to be featured as a walk Hero this year, and so thankful for the support of my family walking with me.

Still dealing with lymphadema (swelling) in my arm, but am hopeful that $ raised will help find better treatments in the future!

Honored to be featured as a Walk Hero for the 2023 Jimmy Fund walk to defy cancer!

Did you know this cat has never, ever had breakfast? Or so he'd like you to believe....
