🚨Pub alert! Jace Cabanes' and my latest article is out online first in @mobilemediacomm.bsky.social! In this piece, we make a case for the value of non-West and global South theorizing for mobile media and communication scholarship using our concept of glocal intimacies as an example.

So excited that my copy finally came! It is such an honor to be included in this volume of distinguished mobile media and communication scholars. Huge thanks to Gerard Goggin and Larissa Hjorth!

November, you have been a beast. I’m glad you are over. December will certainly have its challenges, but hopeful for good news. 🤞🏼 Friends, please continue to pray for my intentions, especially for the health of a beloved relative. 🙏🏼

Stolen iPhone update: it’s now in Shenzhen and I’ve gotten text messages: pretending to be Apple, begging bec phone was bought for child, and today threatening to kill me. Reporting to local police and spoke with @Apple customer service who was really helpful & reassuring.

November has been a really tough month so far. Kindly include my intentions in your prayers. 🙏🏼

Scheduled power outage in my apartment complex from 9am-3pm. Managed to make coffee ☕️ and fix my hair 👩🏻 before it got cut off. #priorities

It has been the most stressful and physically and emotionally exhausting 14 days. I’m slowly emerging from it and feeling like myself again. 💗

Just when I thought the crazy week I had was behind me, my iPhone (+2 others) got stolen at Trader Joe's. Managed to get a new iPhone, but couldn't get @AT&T @ATTHelp to activate it so I need to go to a store tomorrow... & need to report & reactive my @enjoyGLOBE number too...

When you want to write but you have meetings and teaching... 😭 #ICAdeadline #ICAcramming (yeah, yeah, yeah hashtags not here yet...)

So honored to have been elected and excited to serve ICA Mobile Comm division in this new role!

Got my Covid-19 and flu vaccines today! 💉💉 Grateful I have access and wish others around the world did too. 🌏
