This is one of the most useful things I’ve learned from Ruthie’s work—“change everything” is not a nihilistic assessment of the world, but rather the most open invitation to struggle there is.

Another question since I am still in major planning mode. For fac and students. Is is still the norm to assign 4-5 articles for one graduate course meeting? And is this thought to be equivalent to one book? Which approach do you think works best for a survey course? #SocTwitter

You can pick my brain when that invoice is paid.

@DrBWillingham

I wrote this in 2004 as the personal essay portion of a fellowship application at Ohio State. (Yes, I got the fellowship 😉) It was still relevant when #TheFeministWire ran it in 2013 and I felt every word of it yesterday after visiting w/my brother. thefeministwire.com/2013/05/thevis

Curious for faculty w/o admin roles, in a typical month, how many hours of your time is slated for standing meetings (non-teaching, non solo writing)? #AcademicChatter

Yea. Not sure what schools rejected me but know it was 5+ and more than my acceptances but it doesn’t matter to me. my tactic for when I get a NO is to let that ship sail baby ⛵️It’s the YES that sticks 📍

This whole posting your grad school rejections and acceptances feels like some weird flex. Like, “I was rejected from Yale, but I got into Harvard” is the vibe I get from a lot of these.

My 11 yo has to run a mile on Friday’s at school. He hit 6:17 today!! This is 🤯 to me because it seems quite fast for someone who doesn’t run outside of school AND it means I can’t beat him in races of any distance anymore sheesh 🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾

So excited that the 2nd paper from my trans care in abortion clinics study is in press! Lucky to have my brilliant colleague Dr. Lena Hann as 2nd author to help me think through abortion stigma & dangertalk to frame this paper about stigma and transition-related care.

One thing I’m proud of as I make this tenure leap is that I spoke, wrote, and showed my truth. “Lay low” for a few years might mean you no longer know how to stand up

Many of the people I know who needed to "lay low" before getting tenure because they didn't want to mix up in "controversial topics" on campus are in their 15th year of laying low. Tenure doesn't release you. It reveals you.

Biden will get a chance to fill a Supreme Court vacancy. Here's what to expect

The retirement of Stephen Breyer, 83, who was appointed by Bill Clinton in 1994, sets the stage for an immensely important decision by the President. This will be a monumental decision in presidential history to appoint a Black women to the highest court.

npr.org

With Justice Stephen Breyer stepping down, President Biden has his first nomination to the high court. He campaigned on picking a Black woman for the lifetime appointment.

You are doing your job as defined. Your students are diverse. That doesn’t mean YOU actually make a contribution to diversity.

Hot take. Not all faculty who work at Minority Serving Institutions “contribute to diversity” ‼️

A heartbreaking op-ed from a Chicago Public Schools principal that mirrors almost every recent conversation I've had with educators: "Children are not okay. Teachers are not okay. Schools are not okay."

The Omicron surge is ending. The crisis will still be here. Children are not okay. Teachers are not okay. We knew this year would be hard, but we didn’t know it would be this tough.
