Took the summer off from posting to rest, recharge, and ignore deadlines. The new semester’s here, and so is the National Guard in D.C. It seems like we’re all ramping up for…something. Be safe out there folks

Ahhhh…spring break - when students disappear, campuses go quiet, and professors finally have time to do the work we’ve been putting off

My college lifted its ban on skateboarding so that students won't have to drive to school, and now every day the back of my class lecture hall has a neatly parked row of skateboards.

Working on a federal grant proposal just as all federal grants are halted. Academia: where timing is everything, and it’s always bad #AcademicLife

Conducted a workshop Friday. Spent Saturday recovering like I just ran a marathon, except I didn’t move, and Sunday is for pretending I’ll be productive #AcademicLife #WhereIsMyWeekend

January: cold, bleak, and apparently the perfect season for tech moguls to redefine what a salute means

Today we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his fight for civil rights. As for other things happening today… let’s just say it’s a study in contrasts.

Here on Bluesky, where the vibes are chill, the audience is small, and my imposter syndrome is already thriving. Perfect.
