Stocked up on my agave spirits (tequila & mezcal) because I needs margaritas and because prices will continue to increase.

Can we all agree it's OK to switch an in-person meeting to Zoom, but not OK to switch a Zoom meeting to in-person? #AcademicSky

I just submitted a "revise & resubmit" that asked for Chicago Style, and now I want a deep-dish pizza.

I saw a butterfly on my run today. Today is the 19th anniversary of my Dad's passing. There aren't supposed to be butterflies in February in Flagstaff, but I saw one today!

Finally got my copy! Here’s another piece no one will ever read, but read it now before it’s banned.

I've narrowed my emails down to four! Please, everyone, don't email me after I post this. 😛

HAPPY NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY! 1.5oz blanco tequila .75oz orange liqueur (eg orange curaçao or triple sec) Juice from 1 whole squeezed lime .25oz agave nectar or simple (more/less depending on preference)

Happy National Margarita Day Eve, for all those who celebrate! Don’t forget to leave some tequila out for your favorite mixologist.

I may or may have not had two margaritas this evening.

But he hasn't got anything on!

A great reminder!

Celebrated 15 years as an employee at Northern Arizona University, though I've been t/here for 25 years (the other years were as a student, GTA, and Adjunct Instructor). Congrats to the others who celebrated 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years. Yay for longevity.

I mean, forest service workers are like the most important workers in Flagstaff, AZ.

Have y'all seen "Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind At Radio City Music Hall" on @netflix.com yet? I was there, and I'm still trying to figure out how to get a good screenshot of Katy and me in the audience.

Tonight’s cocktail is a prickly pear margarita. I rarely use a margarita glass, but why not?

The right wing trap is: “We don’t need African American history because it’s American history” only to mandate teaching American history through a false, Eurocentric view that erases or omits any counter-narrative. They feign care about African American history to erase it from curriculums. /1

Maya being cozy. #DogsOfBlueSky #AussiePoo

Tonight’s cocktail is an Old Cuban

The kid at the checkout couldn’t believe I was born in ‘75 when I buying my sparkling wine (New Mexico sparkling wine, thank you).

As a Borderlands Studies person, I'm always excited/interested to see borderlands trending, only to find out it's about the game.

So, I used AI to help me create alt-text for a PDF. Maybe this is a good thing, or does some program out there already exist?

I had to talk to 3 people (whom I've never met) on the phone today. As someone with telephobia, this is a pretty big deal.

One of my friends said, "I couldn't understand him," referring to Kendrick, and my response was, "as a former Hip Hop head, you now sound like that girl at the beginning of Baby Got Back, when she asks, 'Who even understands those rap guys'?"

Someone emailed my spouse to say they googled "structural racism and Indigenous populations" and found one of my articles. This is both a great thing and a not-so-great thing right now.

BTW, the worst coffee I've ever had was Dunkin, twice (fool me once, I should have known). Number 2 or 3, Dutch Bros.; why do they have lines? Eww.

Finally! It’s halftime. #KendrickLamar #SuperBowl
