Apathetic Academic

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

Nothing like getting ten urgent student emails that start with ‘I know the semester’s almost over, but…’ to really set the mood.

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

Women’s History Month: honoring the innovators, the rule-breakers, the ground-shakers, and the ones who refused to stay quiet #womenshistory #womeninSTEM #herstory

Civilization might be crumbling, but sure, let me focus on whether these discussion posts meet the rubric #academiclife

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.

Welcome to Bluesky, TikTok refugees. We don’t dance here, but we do overanalyze everything. You’ll fit right in #tiktokban

The new semester energy is contagious. Unfortunately, so are the germs in crowded lecture halls

Sunday scaries in higher ed: Nothing says ‘new semester eve’ like second-guessing every decision I made in the syllabus. It’s tradition, really

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

Happy to see you here!
