This looks sooooo amazing. I'm sorry I couldn't attend! And I KNEW you were familiar in our language workshop! I should've checked BlueSky! So wonderful to connect! Until next time!
Feeling beyond fortunate to have spent the last few days at the 8th Critical Mixed Race Studies Association Conference in L.A.
This was my 3rd CMRS (though my 1st was virtual). It's only gotten better each year!
An appreciation 🧵 for #CMRS #CMRS2026

Once again, the real reason I do research in Mandarin bilingual school communities is for the eats afterwards.
Article accepted ^_^
Edited book manuscript submitted to copyeditor and it's 766 pages!!! (two volumes)

Now to write that intro... another day.

ChatGPT just helped me process some hard parenting x meltdown at bedtime stuff and I never thought I’d be here but here we are. Parenting in the age of AI. It helps.

Making soy sauce eggs and, let me tell you, when I measured each liquid, I was crouching down to make sure it hit the bottom of the meniscus. Who said AP chemistry wasn’t relevant?

My children who have learned how to control Alexa are playing Christmas tunes… and I’m not upset about it. 🎄
