Uhm. There goes my afternoon writing.
One thing this AWS shortage has taught me is the amount of academics who prefer to begin their weeks with grading and emails on Monday morning. Can we talk about how many of us apparently structure our day in that order? ๐คฃ
Twenty minutes into Pokemon Legends: Z-A and I could write an entire second dissertation just about this.

Once again inordinately jealous of my cat, Stitch, and her lack of thoughts. Head so empty.
I think I teach and present with my hands and then I see videos of it happening and I realize the problem is more profound than anticipated. ๐
You know the funniest thing just happened. A big old rainbow cover the sky up in downtown Orlando near my place. I got this feeling. Do whatever you want to the crosswalks. Weโre still here. ๐
Tuesday was my first teaching day of the semester, and Jimmy Buffettโs โVolcanoโ was stuck in my head the whole day. That seems foreboding in a way I canโt quite put my finger on.
Iโm old.
After watching Daredevil: Born Again, Iโd like to humbly ask that Charlie Cox be worse at his job.
I got my back to school vaccines and Iโm happy to report that the brain fog has completely turned off my ability to think and my mind is at peace, highly recommended, 10/10.
I need to not be left unsupervised in a Loweโs like, ever again.
After a solid 15 years of having a recurring nightmare about signing up for a college class, not knowing I was enrolled, and then getting an F, I have now unlocked the teacher version. Itโs similar, where you somehow donโt find out that youโve been assigned a class until the term is over. ๐ตโ๐ซ๐ฎโ๐จ
From the Q&A of my panel presentation at Console-ing Passions 2025 at Georgia State. Wonderful meeting presenters Chelsea Brtis from UNC Charlotte and Brandon Blackburn from UC Irvine. ๐
When youโre trying to read for fun and still the fates find a way to tell you to โpolish your writingโ #PhdLife
My caprese toast game has improved as summer has gone on.
Occasionally I will do things like run around SeaWorld for a shiny metal. The armadillo definitely wanted to know why so many people were running through his house.
Cohort 3 of the Civic Engagement & Voting Rights Teacher Scholars
And if you haven't read this shattering ProPublica piece about the effects of Covid on pregnancies, you should take a deep breath and do so:
My adventure at Clemson at Clemson for the Civil Engagement & Voting Rights Teacher Scholars program began today with a walking tour of some of the historic Campus, including the Woodlawn Cemetery.
Next week I head up to Clemson to participate in a wonderful professional development opportunity funded by the Mellon Foundation, the Civic Engagement & Voting Rights Teacher Scholars Program. Huzzah!
once again I delight in telling an audience of international students all about the Pizza Hut Book It Program - a favorite literacy sponsor of my own I mention when teaching Brandtโs Sponsors of Literacy.

My favorite part of Spotify is getting absolutely roasted by some algorithm at least once a week. ๐
