I live in northeast TN. Dolly Parton is embedded in the fabric of this region. My daughter said at her HS today, when they all retrieved their phones after last period, everyone collectively received the news at once. She had never seen things just stop like that. The people of TN are not okay. 💔

A nice little reminder for the start of my summer work week (yep) and the start of June. Sometimes things are hard. We need accountability. We need supportive colleagues. And sometimes we need help figuring out what to listen to and what to ignore.

My oldest graduated from high school today. Top of his class. Full ride scholarship at a prestigious engineering program. And to celebrate? He requested that I make his favorite meal (Greek chicken & potatoes w/fresh ciabatta) & wanted to use the china & silver. Made him feel special. ❤️

Just finished the book today. A truly excellent read! And now a brief bit on the cover art, which is striking and well-suited to this Appalachian tale.

Today I learned from the family that when I'm at work, this sweet baby sits in the hallway and cries for me. Not sure how I can ever go into the office again now that I know this.

Seems apropos that after 5 hours of building a course website & reading list (because I decided to completely overhaul a course in the weeks leading up to the semester), the song that pops up next in my playlist is Queen's "Keep Yourself Alive."

In an online webinar where the moderators set audio to unmute when you start talking. (Who does that?!) So 100+ people got to hear me help my teenager find something before school.

So much social & political awfulness so early in the year. It keeps coming. To buffer, I focus on the home front. Cuddles with the cat. A library book to enjoy. Helping the eldest finish his college applications. My book (my 4th!!) is in press. Lovely wolf moon in the night sky. Take care, all.

Huh. I mean, sure. But I feel like I was hopeful for last year, and look where that got me. This year, I'm hopeful to not know what so many ERs, surgical recovery rooms, and hospitals look like. I'm hopeful for less cruelty and hate in the world. And I'm hopeful for relentless compassion.

The word "hopeful" is pictured as my 2026 word from Merriam-Webster

Had a manuscript rejected, w/a reviewer repeatedly stating that we are "incompetent" & suggesting we don't read literature or do stats properly. 3 of my students are co-authors, & it was their 1st paper. Can we not be intentionally cruel in reviews? Jeez. No wonder students see academia as toxic.

Resting and working on manuscript revisions & editorial decisions two weeks post-surgery. Not being able to walk for this time has been humbling & frustrating. Good thing my feline nurse is so attentive & cuddly. Nurse Dinah believes in bedrest solidarity.

Me, resting after surgery. My cat is also resting, though that is her normal state.

Book deadline was yesterday, with 5 chapters left to go. <sigh> Well, onwards. Today, hiked 3+ miles in & out to this lovely spot where I wrote 8 pages of Chapter 10. Progress!

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Finally - the rain stopped! Time for a peaceful walk in the woods with the pup before settling back into ALL THE WORK for today (i.e., 3 dissertations, the next book chapter, a couple of manuscripts, & writing by-laws for the Dept & College). That said, I think I'd rather go back to the woods.

Off contract for the summer, so while I'll still be writing & editing, will also be very much gardening. Here, the blackberry bush has two tiny berries on it! Blueberry bushes....did not survive winter. Soon, will plant allllll the vegetables.

My husband had a scary medical emergency yesterday. He's somewhat stable now but needs surgery asap. Grateful to be on sabbatical to write a book (which one can do from an ER triage room, turns out) & not having to manage course logistics at this time.

Today was supposed to be a day of productive writing & taking my younger teen to see Wicked (now that we're all over the many viruses from break). Instead, both of us got raging migraines overnight & spent the entire day in bed in the dark, quite miserable. 2025, I expected better of you.
