My mom and I had so many of these.

This morning I learned that a group of vultures is called a “committee.” This explains so much.

I definitely recommend this if you are interested on Black feminist cultural analysis. Carby left me with a very different pespective. Sign of a great book! #booksky #blacksky

I had the pleasure of writing a response to Kirchgasler’s paper in Science Education about affect in post-Brown science education reform. Her analysis helped me build on the genre characteristics that I talked about in my racialized deviance paper last year. #Blackademics #mathedresearch #scienceed

Paul Robeson calls us all to decide what we stand for: “Every artist, every scientist, must decide NOW where he stands….The artist must take sides. He must elect to fight for freedom or slavery. I have made my choice. I had no alternative.

Today I Made it to the proofs stage with a paper that I submitted ages ago. It’s (not) so funny how journals will take 4048595 years to get back to you when you submit a manuscript but want proofs back in 15 minutes. #AcademicSky

I love this!

Finished this book this week. It is beautiful. Thank you @cbfancher.bsky.social ! #booksky

I can tell you who won’t be buying them 🙋🏾‍♀️

people come up with all kinds of fanciful math to justify billionaires' wealth but imo present political moment demonstrates conclusively that we need to tax billionaires at whatever rate will keep them focused on their own fucking business rather than our Medicaid and pediatric cancer research

“How we as a culture reckon with that moving forward is yet to be determined.” This is the thing. I’m not confident that the culture has the will to hold the line on Diddy when it has refused to do so with so many others.

I’m having a hard time holding my tongue watching colleagues who have consistently argued for why race has no relevance in their research & explicitly asked me how to make race “disappear” are using the fact the Black PIs have lost their research grants disproportionately as past of their campaign.

That we continue to perpetuate this type of violence is entirely unsurprising. Thanks for the data, though. #mathed

"i asked grok" "i asked chagpt" yeah well I asked a rare books librarian and they found things I didn’t even know I was looking for, while answering questions about provenance

Re-upping my advice about how to write a good title and abstract for an academic paper, appropriately called: "How to Write a Title and Abstract" Feel free to share this thread, which will focus on abstracts. (The quoted thread focuses on titles.) #EconSky #AcademicSky

So...yesterday, I found out that my #PhD funding from the government was terminated so money for survival is now in jeopardy. 🙃 If you know of ANY sources of funding, please let me know. #academicsky #academia #research #blackademics #econsky

#AcademicSky Journal submission process, in visual form:

I like this idea. I’m going to start one for my book. And I’ll surely start requiring one for dissertations. #acwri

Just got an exciting invitation to participate in a meeting as a “senior scholar.” Umm when did that happen??? I haven’t figured out what I’m doing yet! #academicsky

Got to hang out with the Wisconsin Math Council today. Thanks @ladyhennhenn.bsky.social for the invitation! #WISMATH

How can I support you? (With follow-through)

Congratulations to @janellescott.bsky.social for a wonderful #AERA2025 meeting as the culmination to an excellent presidency! Proud of you big sis!

Yay!!!! Congrats @aaronadanaguilar.bsky.social !!

Take a look if you use Uline for your business. Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein own it. I dropped them when I learned this during the 2024 pres campaign

Lawd now #bamarush is going to try to imitate Ms. Spelman #ohdontyouwish

Studying Job will have you looking at all your friends like this #faithsky

I don’t know what’s better…submitting a paper or the obligatory post-submission CV update 🤷🏾‍♀️ #AcademicSky

In a writing workshop a couple years ago, I learned to reframe my writing speed from “slow” to “deliberate.” Pretty significant shift for me and it remains a struggle not to punish myself for taking so much time. #AcademicSky

Had a little epiphany last night re: my frustration with #mathed . Journaling works and today has been a great #academicwriting day.

I need this sticker.

This part of the job never gets old. Congrats to # 5 of the Bullock PhD squad, Dr. Kandyce Amie 🥹👏🏾

Today, Dr. Erika is 12 years old. Unreal.

Wait. What?

Who is watching #BeyondTheGates ? I’m always in awe of Tamara Tunie 🤩

Catching up on #MAFS . I 💜💜💜 Camille and Thomas!

Have you seen “Counted Out” yet? What did you think? It was an honor to be a part of the film. I’m interested in how it’s being received. Excited to participate in a few screenings this spring! Www.countedoutfilm.com

1989 “Everybody Counts: A Report to the Nation on the Future of Mathematics Education” from the NRC: “As successive waves of immigrants have used this country’s educational system to secure better lives for themselves and their children…America’s children deserve the same chance.” Sound familiar?

Universities — including the schools that most aggressively shut down student activism — are now fully panicking because the Trump administration is about to shut down all kinds of funding for research and more. Too bad they made it clear that their students shouldn’t speak up and speak out.

Huzzah!

The department tracks student achievement, manages college financial aid and sends K-12 schools money to support students with disabilities and lower-income communities, among other things.

US Rep. LaMonica McIver: "Goddamn it shut down the city. We are at war!" #3E #USprotests #DOGE #UStreasury

A panel on the Treasury this Thursday, with the incredible @epopppp.bsky.social and @abenewman.bsky.social. This is not just for academics. Everyone needs to understand what's happening right now. Spread the word!

Yay!

Here goes. This actually deads a project that I was thinking about. Not that I was writing a grant using these words, but was thinking about an analysis of some projects. That will never see the light of day. Not trying to unintentionally feed this beast.

The zucchini bread in the Delta Sky Club ministers to my soul.

Just (finally) finished “Ours” by Phillip B. Williams. Beautifully written and I have so many questions left. Has anyone else read it? #blackbooksky #booksky
