“To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal, but you have to care. You do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. But a writer always tries, I think, to be a part of the solution, to understand a little about life and to pass it on”. - Anne Lamott #WritingSky #AcademicSky

Leadership is important, but how well we follow, translates into how we articulate and advocate for the needs of others. In my latest publication, I explain followership can be used to disrupt the status quo. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/NRYMH... #academicsky #academicwriting #Newpub

i don’t want my children to have to be “resilient” to racism, i want them to not have to experience it

Finally an accurate nytimes headline about the election results. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/u...

"The 432 courses that were removed from General Education range from Theories of African American Studies, Critics of Religion and American Multi-Ethnic Literature to Feminism and Globalization, the Evolution of Human Sexuality and LGBTQ History."

Curious. If a field makes everyone feel inferior, and experience discomfort. Perhaps the field is the problem #systemsoverindividuals.

Does this feel slightly awkward to anyone else? 👀👀

Lost my voice on the first day. #ASHE24 #ASHE2024. 🤷🏾‍♂️

I follow the #gardening feed here. And it’s pleasant waking up to scroll (blah blah screens in the morning…I’ll take my dopamine how I want it) and seeing flowers instead of the news.

It’s weird/cool being apart of something as it grows. Glad that sports accounts are finally popping up too. Let’s try not to ruin the collective good we are building over here.

Played Rivals for Catan and now waiting for the late slate of college basketball (Baylor v. Gonzaga). Doing my best to stay distracted.

So excited to have an accepted manuscript with amazing collaborators Ashton Cooper @mrac.bsky.social and Gresham Collom @greshamcollom.bsky.social Let’s Gooooo

This was a great project to work on. Especially with friend and collaborator @greshamcollom.bsky.social!

Adult lesson: pay to have someone do your taxes.

Interesting how in lieu of advertising issues, and the owner of the bird site saying “f-you” to companies. My feed over there is filled with “Tucker Carlson” and “Find the most conservative college” ads. Cannot wait to read the case study in this company. Then again it could b apart of a plan. 🤷🏾‍♂️.

Now that I live in Ohio does that mean I should have an opinion on the Ohio State/Michigan game?

Sa-kiera Hudson (@sakierahudson.bsky.social) just won SPSPs Emerging Scholar award! In recent work, she found that empathy and schadenfreude serve as mediators between social dominance orientation and polities of intergroup harm #socialpsyc #PsychSciSky osf.io/preprints/ps...

The best thing about moving on an academic calendar, is that it’s during prime election season. That way you know (in theory) which neighborhoods are ok to move into. I say in theory because despite living in a more liberal neighborhood before, I still had the cops called on me while in my yard.

The weird thing about being over here is that my tastes and feed are being curated to my present self..not retroactive to the 21 y.o. Grad student that started on the bird site. Idk it’s weird.

"X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, will reportedly begin charging new users $1 a year to access key features including the ability to tweet, reply, quote, repost, like, bookmark, and create lists"

Moving really is a sport. And I still have another week of it.

Every time there’s a new social media platform. I tell myself “I’m gonna be more active”. Here’s to one post every quarter and perpetually liking everyone else’s!
