None of this game makes sense.

This is one of the fastest. Busiest. Shortest. Longest. Weeks. Ugh.

A couch in my office would be so wonderful.

The wildest thing this week. I know it’s only Tuesday, but I caught myself saying the same things my dissertation chair said to me, about and to my grad students. (It was all good though), but here I was all these years later. I’m literally turning into my former faculty lol.

Faculty: Help us build a wish list for accommodation requests! We invite instructors to share perceptions of disability support services for students in #HigherEd. Take a short survey (IRB approved) here: uofmississippi.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_.... Questions? Get in touch! #Accessibility

No matter how I try to get into the Winter Olympics this year, I can’t. I guess I’m counting down to summer 2028!

I was skeptical of this ASW format but they came out and played hard. I was entertained. Now my poor team has 4 days until they play again. 😩😩😩

THIS!

Home sweet home from my art work being exhibited this month, and tonight was the reception! More to come later, but a time was had.

Wait. Not James Van Der Beek?! My teenage years. 💔

I can’t believe it’s been 14 years since Whitney Elizabeth Houston died. I’ll never forget where I was when I learned the news. She was simply the greatest. It broke my heart. #NippyForever

You ever feel sleeeeeeeeeepy right before you go to teach your class? I’m afraid if I try to take a power nap, I’ll sleep through my class time. #teachingwhilesleepy

HiEd folks question: can anyone tell me the process to get an email distributed on the CSPTalk listserv? Are we supposed to send our email to someone who then facilitates it being sent?
Thanks in advance!

Bwahahaha hehe.

Where is the halftime show link? I need to rewatch it a few times. Like stat!

Someone is going to write a dissertation about this half time show and I will read it.

Did you notice all the beautiful flags!!?? Just wow!

The family chat is going awf after the halftime show. I’m literally screaming to my sister in creole about our flag on television! The voice note is quite unintelligible at this point.

I gotta tell you, I leaned in extra close when Ricky came on lol. My husband will never let me forget it, from his vantage point on the couch.

I’m honestly still in shock by his performance. So much home in it. So many touch points. Down to the dominoes and the cane, and the ice cones, & all of it really. I think I’m actually speechless. I gotta watch it a few more times. Fabulous job, Benito!

Ricky gets better and better with age.

Let’s go Benito 🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾🇬🇾

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Mi never see a Guyana 🇬🇾 flag on national, American television before! But, for Benito. He did that and so much more! Good for him! Flawless performance, visuals, & vibes. The details were impeccable.

Imagine my surprise & joy (then slight panic) at getting the email notification that four of my paintings were accepted to an exhibition -“Embracing Black Culture” via the Fishers Arts Council. It runs through the entire month of February. I’m so excited for this opportunity!

February goals: my first art exhibit of 2026 (opens tomorrow), & loads of academic writing & research!

It's week 3 of classes, & our MA /doc students are rising to the occasion. I'm pleased with how they are engaging in my courses & their willingness to put in the effort. It's been another week of enriching classroom experiences for both me & them. I hope I didn't jinx myself by saying this out loud.

I love watching people paint late at night, live on TikTok. It’s so calming, other than painting my own pieces.

Working through a R&R that I’m very excited about!
