We saw #WutheringHeights last night. Here are my thoughts. Be warned… I’m a professor who has taught this book. #moviereview #booktok #hollywood #movie TikTok video by Matt Brent, Ph.D.

Saw the new Wuthering Heights movie. It sucks. Nothing like the book. I’m convinced the director has never actually read it. #WutheringHeights #book #Literature #readthebook #movie #moviereview

Crocheted Joxer from Xena Warrior Princess

My coworker gave me a late Christmas Gift she had ordered from Etsy that just arrived. It’s Joxer the Mighty! He will go well with my Xena and Gabrielle. I love it! #xena #television #crochet #christmasgift #joxer

I remember when having Prime Video meant there were ZERO commercials. 🤨

Super excited to be invited to talk about the cultural phenomenon that is Xena! I’m looking forward to contributing to the awesomeness of the first Williamsburg ComicCon this March! #xena #xenawarriorprincess #comiccon #williamsburg #popculture

Devil’s Gate?

Love it!

Last night Parker and I saw Fantastic Four for an early fan event. It was a great movie! Glad to see Marvel’s First Family in the MCU after being absent for so many years! #marvel #fantasticfour #amctheaters #mcu

For Parker’s 15th birthday today we saw an early screening of Superman at AMC in Hampton! (And we dressed appropriately 😂) Go see it on Thursday, y’all! It’s fantastic! #birthday #superman #movie #superhero #comics

Just voted in Virginia’s Democratic primary! I was only number 12 at 9:50. Apparently the first voter didn’t show up until 8 when the polls opened at 6. I hope more people exercise their right to vote today! #virginia #vote #primaryelection #democrat #republican #election #civicduty

Posted a TikTok about movies I watched as a kid in the 80s. Anyone else remember “The Peanut Butter Solution?” Some of these I should NOT have been watching 😂 #movies #80s #1980s #childhood

Apparently you get a community guidelines violation on TikTok if you call someone a dumbass. Well, in my defense, the person was a dumbass. 🤷‍♂️ #tiktok #socialmedia

Photo from 1997 of the Hercules character at Universal Studios

Photo with Kevin Sorbo from Hercules

Me with the fake Hercules in 1997 at Universal Studios Florida and me with the real Hercules in 2025 at Lexington Comic Con. We found the old pic while cleaning out my mom’s attic. I hope I can find the one with Xena, too! #Hercules #UniversalStudios #Xena #KevinSorbo

All healed now. Fortunately it wasn’t that bad of a burn. 👍 The worst part was that my colleagues devoured the bacon, and I didn’t get any! 😂

It’s graduation time! Had a great pre-commencement get together with my colleagues at the new Starbucks, and I was able to get a few selfies with some great students. 😀 Happy Graduation, everyone! #community #communitycollege #professor #history #graduation #college

RCC Class of 2025 53rd Commencement, 5:00 pm, May 9th 2025 YouTube video by Rappahannock Community College

Here’s the live stream from tonight’s first commencement ceremony. Check out the 41:20 time stamp… Can’t say I’ve ever had a student approach me on stage to shake my hand and say thanks. Totally makes the job worth it. 😀 #communitycollege #Graduation www.youtube.com/live/0NaJAdZ...

It’s Educator Appreciation Week, and yesterday was National Teachers’ Day! I made breakfast for folks on campus. Haven’t done that in years. I did burn myself with bacon grease… WHOOPS! But it was totally worth it! 😂 #communitycollege #teacher #professor #history #breakfast #teacherappreciationweek

Dr. Strange and Wiccan cosplays

Back at GalaxyCon Richmond in March, Parker and I had a photo shoot done in our Dr. Strange and Wiccan cosplays. I think it turned out pretty well! Thanks to Bryant Cox Photography for the shot and editing! #comiccon #galaxycon #cosplay #marvel #drstrange #wiccan

As I begin to wrap up my 20th year in education, this honor was a nice touch. I appreciate all those who have helped me get to this point in my career!

I had the privilege of attending the American Association of Community Colleges conference this week. In the closing session I was honored as a Dale P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty member. #teacher #professor #history #communitycollege #college #highered #award

I have the best coworkers! One grabbed me a Bruce Campbell autograph this weekend at Astronomicon! Now I just have to meet him in person so he can sign my Xena and Hercules posters. 😀 #xena #hercules #autolycus #brucecampbell #celebrity #autograph

I totally forgot to post more pics from GalaxyCon last weekend! I was fortunate to meet Mick Foley, who signed my ATLA poster, and Joey Fatone. More pics to come. #galaxycon #galaxyconrichmond #comiccon #comics #wrestling #mickfoley #joeyfatone #nsync #avatarthelastairbender

Day 2 of GalaxyCon was fantastic! #Xenomorph Warrior Princess made an appearance, & Parker dressed as #Wiccan. I met Alex Kingsto, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Weird Al! Looking forward to day 3! #doctorwho #riversong #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #ghosts #xena #alien #weirdal

My #Xena panel at #GalaxyCon went great! I can’t wait to do another one! One participant, who wore a shirt proclaiming “It’s a Xena Thing” said she was only planning to come Fri to Sun, but added today solely to come to my panel! 🥰 #XenaWarriorPrincess #Xenites #Cosplay

About to see the Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue in Norfolk at Chrysler Hall. I hope it’s good! 😀 #goldengirls #goldengirlsforever #livetheatre #comedy #80sTV

Parker and I are in an early screening for Death of a Unicorn up in Tysons Corner. Haven’t been up this way in a good while! #movies #amctheaters #deathofaunicorn

One of my students ordered door dash during class this morning. We live in BFE. I didn’t know we had door dash! 😂 I know I should probably be offended or upset, but I’m actually a little amused. #college #communitycollege #doordash #historyclass #getmesomenexttime

My son and I are on the way to Lexington, KY for the #comiccon there. He asked if we could drive 20 minutes out of the way to a Walmart to meet an employee he follows on Instagram. So where are we? Ashland Walmart looking for Anne and Jared. #walmart #parenting #kids #teenager

Parker and I are getting ready to see an early screening of @mickey17movie.bsky.social at AMC Theaters in Hampton. #Mickey17 #Mickey17Hampton #movies

The most adorable little kid was walking around campus today handing out valentines. I miss when the library kids would trick or treat at our faculty offices. We used to have so much happening on campus ☹️ #communitycollege #publiclibrary #pawpatrol #nickelodeon #valentines

Even more #funko pics
