I’ve had quite a slow start to sabbatical with attending a virtual conference, a couple of snow days, and bouts of existential ennui. However, my wonderful colleagues are bound and determined to help me value and celebrate this semester. Love them so much.

Amidst ::waves hands at … all of this::, it feels unnerving to announce something positive. But as of today, I’m on sabbatical. I have a plan for my time but I’m open to tips, advice, or any wins from your own sabbatical experiences. Sharing my plan in case it’s helpful for anyone.

Sabbatical plan that roughly outlines tasks to work on each M, T, Th, F. Thoughts about mechanisms and advisory circles, and what I hope to work on each month. DM me for more details.

Having introvert friends is great because even if you make plans by accident you can always be all "hey I checked the forecast and it's supposed to be really late out tonight" and then they'll be like "yeah you shouldn't be out in weather like that" and then nobody has to leave their blanket cocoons

today I discovered that approximately 430 emails from the last 2 months had been filtered into a new and undisclosed folder in outlook called “promotions”. of these, 115 were emails I definitely needed to read (& definitely not “promotions”!) and about 20 were critical/urgent. great work, outlook.

I am loathe to admit that ‘they’ were right. If you give your household more than 20 minutes from when you wake up to when you leave, everyone’s mornings are less stressful.

Something people might already know about me—whenever I run into someone I know, get a text from them, or interact with them on social media, my first thought is always always always “do I owe them an email? what am I making them wait for me on?” If I look panicked when I wave or smile, that’s why.

One never loses touch with their roots when they’re from SE KY. Sometimes though, in a conversation when you say things like “oh, you just know not to climb on the coal pile from the time you can walk”…it feels just a little more obvious.

I’m a little tender since 50+ families in our small community lost everything last night. But man, it’s rough logging into Bluesky seeing all the folks laughing that Oklahomans are “getting what they deserve”. Our family is fortunate we were safe—unlike friends (many of whom hate MAGA, btw). Yikes.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.
