Happy National Black Cat Appreciation Day! I've had black cats most of my life and now is no exception, even though these babies, Gumball (L) and Darwin (R) are my kids' sweet girls. #Cats #BlackCats #NationalBlackCatAppreciationDay

Progress toward one of my fiction book projects! A little, but it's still movement ❤️ #Writing #Writer

Trying to get back into writing, but focusing on my fiction again. I do this every summer, but trying to set realistic goals now. So, at the end of today, I managed to hit my goal even after a long day of class prepping. Here's to hopefully finishing a manuscript soon. #Writing #Writer

Day 8 in a row of writing. Then, tackled a Lego set with one of my kiddos. He received a cool Game Boy set, which has incredible detail. (Definitely recommend.) It's amazing how doing fulfilling things like writing (for me) have helped me stay more present daily. #Writer #Legos

Finished day 3 in a row of writing, and hit 508 words. I'm still writing into this 4th day now (since it's past midnight.) Reminding myself that any words on the page are better than 0! Pretty stoked with how this short story is turning out. #Writing #WritingCommunity #ShortStory

This 4th I can't help but be reminded by Paulo Freire's work. We should be reminded that one of the only requirements for the violation of a person or group of people is to dehumanize them, which means nobody is human. Even those who have internalized the oppressor's beliefs. #paulofreire

The NEH released its Public Scholars award last month. Notice the mention of how ideals of democracy have consistently been met, while we have oligarchs running the show, and the emphasis on only economic freedom while the rich take away medical care & cut taxes on themselves. #neh #humamities

Here's one I took a photo of in Sevilla, as well back in April :)

I’ve never truly felt like I belonged. On trips or in familiar cities, I still felt out of place. In Spain, that changed; it became home. Fulbright made that possible. It is more than an award. With it under attack, I’m sharing my story. Want to read more? Check out the link ⬇️ #fulbright #research

Though Spain will always be special to me for the time we lived there, Ireland will also always have a piece of my heart 😍 #dublin #ireland #travel #traveling #photos #photosoftheday

I highly recommend EPIC The Irish Emmigration Museum. Such an incredible place that highlights the importance of telling people's stories. #epic #emmigration #dublin #ireland

If so, please consider taking my friend's survey. He's 20 folks shy of getting all the days he needs for his dissertation. Link: tinyurl.com/25rkpvh3 #phd #phdlife #dissertation #research #researcher #math #education

A poem I wrote in 2018 for Mother's Day. Still relevant today. www.perpetual-wanderlust.com/post/this-mo... Here's a photo of the people who paved the way, and for whom I try to pave the way—my kids, my mom, & both of my grandmothers. #writing #poem #writer #poetry #mothersday #mom

Oh, and then the government is also trying to intimidate medical journals, specifically CHEST, into "viewpoint diversity." www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

As a research methods instructor, teaching how to understand research designs and develop a literacy for scientific articles, this is terrifying. But, since we're on the topic now of misinformation, I want you to do something. Go to COVID.gov. #covid #science #research #misinformation

What can a photo reveal about power, culture, or place? This fall at SDSU, I’m teaching SOC 496: Visual Sociology. We’ll explore street art, museums, theory, and end with a student gallery walk. #VisualSociology #SDSUCourses #CreativeResearch #sociology #SDSU

I've shared my love for flamenco before, but living in Spain has deepened it. The passion, the connection, the joy... it resonates as I explore my own creative journey. There's something so special in the beauty & rhythm of this art that captives me. #Flamenco #SpainVibes #Travel #LivingAbroad

Painted on a wall across from my flat. A good reminder while I'm here in Spain because, after all, Bad Wolf says, "I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself. I take the words. I scatter them, in time and space." #doctorwho #badwolf
