Research shows 5 major factors or resilience: 1. Accepting reality even if it's hard. 2. Asking for help. 3. Being patient; knowing what feels like forever in the moment is not. 4. Narrative that you'll grow from struggle. 5. Routine—helps to activate and provides predictability.

Joy doesn’t mean you’re not paying attention. Joy doesn’t mean you’re dumb. Joy in a time of mind-f*ckery IS resistance.

2 of 3 reviewers on my interpretive qualitative paper want intercoder reliability tests, random sample to prevent selection bias, tables w/counts, comparison to those not interviewed, & generalizability. If you are NOT qualified to review qualitative research, please say no to the journal's request.

Text voice recognition fail: It took me a while to respond to a text message. To explain the delay, they received this: "It was because I was deluded by hundreds of NCAA females.” Only makes sense to folks deluged by emails during #NCA24. Glad the recipient laughed and understood the context!!
