I had the pleasure of writing a response to Kirchgasler’s paper in Science Education about affect in post-Brown science education reform. Her analysis helped me build on the genre characteristics that I talked about in my racialized deviance paper last year.

My mom and I had so many of these.
Do you have secret words or phrases with your parents or siblings that have stuck around since childhood?

Many families have an intimate, group-specific dialect known among linguistic experts as “familylect” or “familect.”
Every family has a secret language. Experts call it ‘familect.’
The memory and meaning in our weird, family-specific words, often born of the wild minds of children.

This morning I learned that a group of vultures is called a “committee.” This explains so much.

I definitely recommend this if you are interested on Black feminist cultural analysis. Carby left me with a very different pespective. Sign of a great book!

Paul Robeson calls us all to decide what we stand for: “Every artist, every scientist, must decide NOW where he stands….The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.

Today I Made it to the proofs stage with a paper that I submitted ages ago. It’s (not) so funny how journals will take 4048595 years to get back to you when you submit a manuscript but want proofs back in 15 minutes.

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

“How we as a culture reckon with that moving forward is yet to be determined.”

This is the thing. I’m not confident that the culture has the will to hold the line on Diddy when it has refused to do so with so many others.

I’m having a hard time holding my tongue watching colleagues who have consistently argued for why race has no relevance in their research & explicitly asked me how to make race “disappear” are using the fact the Black PIs have lost their research grants disproportionately as past of their campaign.

That we continue to perpetuate this type of violence is entirely unsurprising. Thanks for the data, though. #mathed

So...yesterday, I found out that my #PhD funding from the government was terminated so money for survival is now in jeopardy. 🙃

If you know of ANY sources of funding, please let me know.

I like this idea. I’m going to start one for my book. And I’ll surely start requiring one for dissertations. #acwri
