The entire cast was incredible, and even among that excellence, Lauren Jones' transcendent performance stood out.

Took advantage of a #LHR layover to go see #DarkOfTheMoon. It was sublime, and left me happy-wrecked. Hopefully we get a cast album soon!

TIL: Looking through financial records for my employer, historically our dorms have been been over-capacity...by a lot. (2020-2020 were COVID years) I can't imagine saying "Students first" out one side of my mouth, while saying "Occupancy was at 116% of capacity" out of the other.

That's it! Deadline for #ICA26 submissions are closed. For those scholars who made the deadline, those who missed it, and those who didn't even know it was happening: You're doing a good job and your hair looks nice. Looking forward to seeing you all at @icahdq.bsky.social in Cape Town!

Wrapping up @mepsy.bsky.social's #MePsych25. It was a great time at @unidue.bsky.social, filled with friends, scholarship, and good chats over coffee and other drinks. It's amazing to have fit all this in to just a few days; and I'll be weeks unpacking the thoughts and inspiration from it.

For 16 years, this group of scholars have made Germany feel like home. Couldn't be more grateful to all of them.

Evoking @icahdq.bsky.social fun, #MePsy25 just got to experience a nationwide alert test mid-session. Speakers rolled with it like pros.

Go ahead and take away my Michigander card; but it's time to regulate big vehicles for private use. When *I* can be invisible to drivers, they're lethal in neighborhoods and school zones. Please also see:

#ICA25 was a blast. Good scholarship, tremendous colleagues, divine inspiration, and an unexpected tailgate--the hallmarks of a successful convention. Can't wait to do it all again in 351 days in Cape Town.

And with that, #ica25 draws to a close. (With an even trippier conference already dancing on her corpse.) let's do it all again in Cape Town for #ica26!

Canonically, Rey and Ben are first cousins once-removed, which makes this really on-brand for the Skywalkers.

In 2020, UWash was my canary in a coal mine for the upcoming pandemic. I'm guessing Seattle will once again play that role re: tariffs, looking at the decimation of shipping traffic in the port.

Doing final proofs for the forthcoming edition of my #CMC textbook. There's a new chapter on CMC and health. I'm glad I fought a bit for this intro--it made the direct answer to the simple question as immediate and explicit as I wanted.
