I think I'm leaving this platform, which while it's not the same I am grateful that it connected me with some of the coolest folks who I now call some of dearest friends.

It's okay to take a break today—it even better if it includes cookies. 💙

It is advising season and I gotta say, freshmen are such a delight. Also, one of my students said she's extremely disappointed that I have not had a pork roll breakfast sandwich.

I don't ever love doing proofs or copy edits, but the current one I'm working on is really something.
Some examples of editor changes:
"white" to "White"
"Black" to "black"
"duoethnography" to "dual-ethnography"
"woman" to "female"
For a book on antiracist teacher prep😡
As someone who is constantly misplacing or forgetting my phone, I really despise having to use the microsoft authenticator app for EVERYTHING. Like who in the world is gonna hack my blackboard account?
Upcoming community cultural wealth project to build & diversify regional bilingual teacher pipelines! Kellie Jones & Mostafa Mouhieeddine (@BrocktonSchools), Paula Merchant (TLC), @drcdobbs (@BUWheelock) & Drs. Uy, Werunga & Szczesiul (@UMLSchoolofEd)! uml.edu/news/stories/2024/bi…
Doing proofs and copy edits for books is exciting, but I have a lot of feeling about the publishing company's (one week) timeline to turn it all around.

When you take a red eye on a Monday then Tuesday is like your Monday. Today I forgot my faculty ID to get into the parking lot AND my office keys. 🤦🏽♀️
Today we did text set stations in class and I must say teaching a literacy course with undergrads the most fun!
Last week I learned I was awarded a large federal grant! I'm excited, but also just wanna put out there that it has taken 12 proposals & 6 yrs before I secured external funding. And this proposal that was eventually funded - it was my 3rd time submitting to this same program.
Submitted an R&R, reviewed a bunch of studies, made a list of fall semester writing goals with @drcdobbs, and planned our upcoming weekend (me + Dobbs) trip to Disneyland. #SolidMondayMorning
