anyone else on #AcademicTwitter hate the feeling of being forced to teach on days when you have ZERO motivation, thereby putting on a lackluster performance for your students, then fearing it'll come back to bite you in the ass in your evals cuz you're a young WOC professor??

I’m torn between “The Book of Life” and “Maya and the Three” as the most visually stunning work I’ve seen. @mexopolis you continue to knock it out of the park!!! Your work makes my job as a Latina academic studying Latinx Pop Culture so gratifying and fun!!

President Biden. Vice President Harris. We fought for this. We organized, marched, and voted for a new chapter. It’s OUR time.

If you are still confused on how to pronounce her name, it's "Madame Vice-President."

This election is about so much more than @JoeBiden or me. It’s about the soul of America and our willingness to fight for it. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Let’s get started.

Today is a good day. It’s easier to be a parent this morning. Character MATTERS. Being a good person MATTERS. This is a big deal. It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around. Today is a good day. #PresidentBiden #VotersDecided

It’s reported that Stacey Abrams worked relentlessly to register over 800,000 new voters across Georgia who were affected by voter suppression in time for the U.S elections. That is some impact 👏🏾🇺🇸

The presidency, itself, is not a partisan institution. It's the one office in the nation that represents everyone and it demands a duty of care for all Americans, and that is precisely what I will do.
