Catching up on what I would have posted earlier on Bluesky: I installed a cat shelf for our dog and Halloween was full of Squid Games references & costumes.

X is dying and BlueSky is on the rise. This reminds me of old Tweets that I would love to live on. One of my favorites, apparently made into a bumper sticker: “everyone, and I mean everyone, out pizza’s the hut”. Credit and author unknown at this time. #pizza #authorunknown

Course reviews were released and I am humbled at the generosity of my grad students. I taught just fine, I think, but the kindness embedded in constructive feedback reaffirms that we’re bringing the right people into the profession. Also: unsolicited photo of my grading buddy this term #academicsky

I had a larger turnout than expected for my presentation at a school psychology conference (WSASP) and it just feels so good. There’s something special about practitioners choosing your academic conference session. It’s like, “yeah, we share some values and perspectives here!” #academicsky

In my bio I claimed that I run races (and analyses and into trouble). I’d like to prove that these are all true things about me ~annually. Stay tuned for my “running into trouble” evidence; that should be fun for the BlueSky-o-Sphere 🤣

It was the first class for our future school psychologists last night. I asked the students to vote on how they would like to structure breaks during our 3-hour class. By majority vote, they selected a third option that I hadn’t thought of. Schools will be in good hands with this crew #academicsky
