Baby all I needed was a night out at Backstage in Atlanta and my Southern chakras have been indefinitely reset to endure the summer ahead in New England.

Black ATL never ceases to not be good for the soul.

Itโ€™s always a great day to visit the Commonwealth! Thank you to the College Personnel Association of Kentucky for having me as the Spring Conference keynote speaker. It was great engaging association members across the Bluegrass state! Big thank you to Transylvania University for hosting!

Usually one of three pathways for me:

1. Weโ€™ve actually worked together IRL
2. Weโ€™ve engaged in some type of professional development capacity and use LinkedIn to stay connected and engaged.
3. (Rarely) were engaged in some type of product exploration/consultation for my institution or org

Iโ€™m near the tail end of the research process for sure. The main goal of the presentation is to get feedback on the study and article Iโ€™m preparing for submission. Goal is hopefully to submit in the coming months and share with others. Youโ€™ll be on that list for sure ๐Ÿ˜Š

With recent negativity towards Indian citizens on #H1B visas, it's crucial to support our #IndianStudents, who make up the largest #internationalstudent population in the U.S. (29%)

Let's:
* Reassure them they are valued.
* Address their concerns.
* Combat misinformation.
* Foster inclusion.

Sen. Mike Rounds thinks he can get the votes to cut US Department of Education Rounds said he can pass the bill with 50 votes through reconciliation, which is a way to enact legislation on taxes and spending with only a majority.

This feels like a good introductory read re: Senator Rounds' proposed bill to eliminate the Department of Education. Lots to chew on and lots of questions.

Excited to be in Boston this afternoon for the College & University Faculty Assembly as part of the National Conference on Social Studies. Grateful to be a part of a really cool panel with some great co-authors of a great book published this summer.

So hi friendsโ€ฆa little complicated post.

Iโ€™m obviously part of the group of who will begin migrating from X to here. So Iโ€™m going to transition this account to be my main Bluesky Account and create a new one for DDR/Gaming/etc.

You may receive a new follow soonโ€”not spam just getting organized

The Rhythm Game Community really showed up for my research study! I knew Iโ€™d get traffic but wasnโ€™t expecting 40+ folks in 48 hours. Thatโ€™s ALOT ๐Ÿ˜…

Still parsing through responses but will begin to reach out to folks soon. If anyone is in the Great Plains, give me a shout!

So I think Iโ€™m going to try out this space for actively practicing gratitude. Iโ€™m mindful that I should do it more and I just like being positive when I get the chance.

Today, I was grateful to spend the day with partner and check out the movie The Blackening. Hilarious. 10/10.

Thatโ€™s fair. I try to carry a larger load of cooking as my partner is a mechanic who usually works 9-10 hours days at the shop.

I usually have that moment on Thursday nights tho ๐Ÿ˜…

I think the part of adulthood folks really donโ€™t talk about is how you really wonโ€™t be in the mood to cook dinner when you come home from work.

I do it (obviously)โ€ฆbut man. I internally complain every time, lol.
