Sometimes life stresses little Niecy out, and she needs to take a break. I'm with you, girl. #dogsofbluesky

Sunday afternoon

Loving @puddingviz.bsky.social (pudding.cool)! I was sent a link to this years ago, and Sam Dragga sent a reminder about it on the ATTW listserv this week. Perfect for my data viz unit! #teamrhetoric

Saw this lost and found in the local paper today, and it made me laugh!

So excited about this cross-career exchange at RSA 2026. Others, please sign up! #teamrhetoric forms.gle/HXSXPTAhGqkZ...

First day of class takeaway: MANY clusters of students are watching The Summer I Turned Pretty. Consensus: It's bad, but we're all watching it.

I just finished The Names by Florence Knapp. What a wonderful, thoughtful book! It brought me a lot of joy today. #books www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

My love for you is pure #dogsofbluesky

Ruby says, "Have a good day!" #dogsofbluesky

Is success really just failing a little at everything?

Me and my Peggy... Sunday relax day... #dogsofbluesky

Sunday nap day! #dogsofbluesky

I forgot how addictive using magic erasers is. I have ended the life of many a spot tonight.

My life would be complete if only I had a compilation of all Tammie Brown's confessionals from Drag House Rules. 😂💃🏻🥇 youtube.com/shorts/y6Wyx... @planettammie.bsky.social

I'm looking for good books that encourage curiosity and trying new things, especially learning new technologies. I want something for my college students to read because I have many who are very resistant to learning technology and taking initiative. Recommendations welcome! #academicsky

I'm teaching multimedia design after two years of teaching biz communication. As much as I love reading student work, it is so refreshing to be lulled into the grading zone with beautiful color palettes rather than summary paragraphs and slide decks. #academicsky #brainbalance

How dare you talk to me before breakfast! #nightowl #dogsofbluesky

This is my dog, and I love her #dogsofbluesky

Want to help your students apply what they're learning in your class AND contribute to the greater good? Teach them how to write a scientific opinion piece! 📝 The Op-Ed Project has some fantastic resources for getting started, and we'll be sharing our own soon 👀 www.theopedproject.org/resources

Anyone else shook by the news that the Society for Technical Communication is dissolving!? #teamrhetoric

When your dog's medical condition forces her to wear a bodysuit that makes her even cuter... #dogsofbluesky

I echo this sentiment.

I knew all this was going to happen. But nothing can really prepare you for what it feels like when the moment actually arrives. This is why we need each other and our communities. I plan to turn to them a lot in the coming years.

You can believe in peace and still fight for what is right.

I picked up some of your stickers at RSA a few years ago and have been wanting more ever since. I could not remember who made them!!! Thank you for brightening my day ☀️

When you find your person... #dogsofbluesky

two academic work pro tips: --remove mail apps from your phone. there are no academic emergencies. --pick one day and make it meeting free. If you can't do a whole day, then block of chunks a couple times a week. ensures you have dedicated time to think, read, do the work. #TeamRhetoric
