I am thrilled to share my first open source publication!

Thank you to my mentors, friends, and colleagues that made this piece possible! And a special thank you to the team at Socius who was fantastic to work with!

It's for my class, so it's not new, but I'm reading Gender Play by Barrie Thorne. It's one of my favorite sociology studies :)

I do the same. I would bet money that feminine and feminized scholars have a higher ratio of reviewed articles to reviews needed.

A career first: watching three mentees present their findings from my dissertation dataset. So proud of these three! My heart is so full as I wrap up my first year as a professor :)

This was my first time donning my regalia since my doctoral hooding. It was lovely to celebrate the achievements of our amazing students at Davidson College with my great colleagues :) @gerardomarti.bsky.social @sushiaarushi.bsky.social (also pictured: Gayle Kaufman and Kapriskie Seide)

This is very interesting! I laughed at the width of the confidence intervals for liberals with literal interpretations. I was initially curious how many "literal" liberals there were, and that seems to indicate :p

I'm so sorry to hear that Dani :( I'm sure you gave Buddy the best life possible. I wish we could keep them forever.

It's difficult to maneuver parents who were trump voters, that argued I was being dramatic in my opposition, but are now also scared of his policies.

It's hard to be sympathetic to someone who diminished your feelings and expertise, but it's somewhat nice that they came around at some point ...

Is it inappropriate to joke in class about the convenience of prior research focusing on binary gender, since now we are back to a binary system in the U.S.?

Asking for someone that isn't me ๐Ÿ˜…

Being on a book award committee is one of my favorite post-PhD decisions. It's exciting randomly receiving new books in the mail without having ordered them.

That said, I didn't expect so many PDF book submissions and the reading list is starting to get daunting lol.

Yes! I'm not sure why walking and quacking like a duck was never enough. Why did we need 15 forms of verification and Duo Login authentication to see them for what they are...

Watching tiktok go dark made me sadder than I was expecting. So many people just lost access to their communities and livelihoods.

I'm considering giving my stats students my dissertation dataset for assignments. I'm thinking it may be slightly more exciting to analyze gendered video game usage than a generic dataset.

Reading course evals always makes my day. Now, if only I could get these hiring committees to see the me that my students do.

Slowly rediscovering who I am post-grad school. First on the docket is to reconnect with my body--I've started running every night to lose the grad school weight. Next, I'm hoping to start reading for pleasure again.

I'm missing my students, because they would have loved talking about all these Luigi men l memes.

I'm feeling great, having finished my first semester as a professor and returning to Cincinnati to formally graduate. Now, just to land a TT position in the next year!
