Congratulations 🎉

An R&R, new legal pads, and a bowl of grits (team salt &butter). I’m sealing my joy wherever I can find it.

If I could offer students one bit of…advice: be brutally traditional about what is printed on your degree.

If you are first-gen or in any way non traditional, this goes double. Let rich kids get degrees in AI. You get something called “English”.

I too, want to know

Wow.

A Manifesto for Critical‐Feminist Science Education Feminist science education is not a new endeavor but part of a long-standing intergenerational struggle against exclusion, marginalization, and epistemic violence within science and science education...

We are excited to receive manuscripts for the Science Education Journal’s special theme on Critical Feminist Science Education starting November 1!!

I really wanna know the science behind this. My mom literally won’t eat a meal until she’s cleaned the whole house and done all the chores. I’m tryna break that habit and just stop and EAT

Just wolfed down a burger and Dr Pepper because I too, haven’t eaten all day. My hyper focus is a blessing & curse. 🥲

Thank you!

I’m highly skeptical as an Office fan but I might give it a try now

Literally and had a whole human baby in the process. I’m realizing I need to adjust my expectations

Just starting my postdoc and the fatigue of finish my doc program is hitting me hard

And looking goodt while doing it!

My heart just fluttered seeing the Cambridge date!

Thank you! Can’t wait to hear to your thoughts especially the discussion questions at the end 🫶🏾

Always appreciate your support! Presenting this work in our 2024 AERA symposium was definitely a game changer and pushed my pen even more

✨ New Publication Alert ✨

I’m very open about being a first-generation college graduate and I get asked a lot of my path to and through my Ph.D. This Autoethnography highlights pivotal experiences that led me from chemistry undergraduate to educational psychologist.

Gotcha!

Do you like this genre? Just got back into my leisure reading and the pretend couple tropes are annoying

LinkedIn feels too curated and influencer-ish. I post every and now then and immediately leave. Something about LinkedIn feels too forced.

I gotta find a new hair stylist and I hate that for me. You know how hard it is to find a loctician who can do microlocs and won’t send a “hey boo” text or have an aggressive,brightly colored website with unnecessary rules? I might have to become a DIY girlie 😭

Not at all, find joy wherever you can! Christmas in July is a thing

Black woman in Trader Joe’s: I love your locs queen.

Me: I literally smiled the rest of the day

I don’t blame you, I was holding onto to see Kirk when I should have done an intermission 🤣
