*me out running 3 miles with my 8 year old* Some random dude we pass: happy Mother’s Day! Me: you too! … … Oh, he didn’t say ā€œhave a great dayā€

Instead of flowers this Mother’s Day, I’d like to abolish ICE šŸ’

My very first book is available for pre-order! Workable Accents explores how international teaching assistants conceptualize accent in relation to academic labor. Please ask your (university) library to order a copy: shorturl.at/KUC4R @bloomsburyacad.bsky.social @bloomsburyling.bsky.social

This year, for teacher appreciation week, maybe we can have less coffee mugs and candles and instead have more speaking up. Speak up to defend public education…

I stumbled upon this comment where a woman explains how she uses ChatGPT for medical advice because it’s more compassionate than her doctor 😳

Happy Caturday!

This is how you stand up to unconstitutional nonsense. You do not comply, but hold your ground instead.

Happy ā€œhey Prof can I get an extensionā€ season to all who celebrate.

Sure. I’ll teach my kids to be patriots who love America.
