Can't explain the amount of joy this guy has brought into my life beyond this meme. Give his fundraiser some support!

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at BlinkingGuy.com

I think of @timlockridge every time I use the "block move" while revising--but not the person who wrote the article Tim had us read that taught me, a late-20s millennial at the time, that I could do something other than copy-and-paste.

Looking for research or policy recommendations related to college level course caps. I have the obvious @ncte position statements and some sources from #CompPile already, but hoping for things more recent and focused on #HigherEd

Intro to Rhetoric got started in the hall today because, after several days of asking for help to get into my room, I still don't have access to the door.

My therapist said I should work on mental flexibility and how I respond to interruptions. Instead, I put this note on my door this morning.
A yellow post-it note on a wooden door. In red ink, it says "writing on a deadline -- interrupt at your own risk!" It ends with a hand drawn smiley face.

Nothing to see here, just enjoying my coffee on the back porch.
A man and woman having coffee in a screened in room in the rain. They are both wearing safety goggles. The woman has dark hair and is actively drinking from her cup. The man is looking at his phone.

When I was a kid, my dad would tell me I didn't need to worry about the storms unless he was carrying our full-size collie to the basement. If I ever have kids, it'll be "don't worry about the hurricane unless mom is wrapping her wine glass collection."
A white woman in a grey sweatshirt smiles as she squats next to a collection of 50 wine glasses. They are sitting on the floor in the middle of a living room.

One of my FYC students made an AI-generated portrait of me. It is terrifying and I love it.

Successfully defended my dissertation this morning, so I am PhDONE!! So thankful for my fabulous committee, chaired by @ElizabethWardle. I am grateful for the outstanding mentorship I've had at @MiamiOHEnglish & the @HCWEMiami. Excited to keep up the work on grad writing support!

Excited to zoom in for @MandyRhae's diss defense today!

Sitting in this empty, windowless classroom while my students go explore exhibits in other buildings to determine the exigence. Can't wait to see what they find!

My favorite thing about meeting @TravisCowan's friends is that they'll ask things like, "well, Caitlin, what exactly do you do?" And he'll respond "triangle things" or "well I thought she taught English but I come home and in pretty sure she's figuring out time travel."

I never considered just how much I draw triangle as part of my day to day work, but it's true. I do triangle things.

I've not really processed how this last day of classes went, but I'm grateful this was prevented, grateful to those students who alerted authorities, grateful I'm not writing a very different tweet.

NEW: A 19-year-old Florida college student was arrested after classmates told police he was planning a mass shooting the day before winter break. Police said the student sold his car to purchase a rifle and hundreds of rounds of ammunition. #flapol mynews13.com/fl/orlando/news…

Finally finished The Testaments by @MargaretAtwood and it is so so so so good. My first foray into audio books (they used to put me to sleep?) But this one is great.
Today, I turned 33. To celebrate, I parted my hair on the opposite side, purchased new car insurance, and made @TravisCowan take me to a fancy dinner. This is the life, folks.

Can't wait to tell my writing challenge group that I didn't cut 1k words from my draft this week, but I did get Zotero installed and synced with my library. 🤷

I usually don't go to campus on Fridays, but I decided to take @MandyRhae in to see my office. And there just is a farmers market?? And pre-covid this was just a normal thing?? Maybe I go to campus on Fridays now.
