I had a dream that I met @Martina and I got to tell her about my memories of watching her play tennis at my grandmother's house when I was a kid. I'll bet she is just as nice in person as she was in my dream. People who battle for equity usually are.

Is 4k words the average length of a manifesto?
Breaking: The SFA board subcommittee on system affiliation says it recommends to the full board that it accept the invitation to join the @utsystem. The full board still has to vote on recommendation.
Unprompted, my 15yo told us he is so grateful we are his parents and with tears streaming down his face that he loves us. We were so moved. We sat, hugged, and told each other how much we love each other. It was magical. I'm so grateful he felt comfortable sharing his feelings.

Nearly every day my son stands next to me and tells me to stand up straight so he can measure whether or not he is taller than me. I love it so much and look forward to the day in the not so distant future that he will swell with pride over being taller than me.

My students are having a bake sale to support their mentorship program for girls of color at Harrisonburg High School. Stop by to purchase a sweet treat. Also, If you're a baker and want to donate some goodies for us to sell or contribute a monetary gift, please DM. Thank you 😊
Low pay, no raises for 4 years, very low morale. New dean. Difficult $ decisions. College meeting yesterday. Salary equity. Over 50% of the Lib Arts faculty (including instructors & lecturers) received raises. In 3 months the new dean did what the university "couldn't" do. 1/2

We have a new salary floor. We have value. We are important. When is the last time you heard of university employees clapping and cheering for their dean without being under duress? It was yesterday for me. 2/2

Maybe if this #sociology thing doesn't work out I can sell tactical sunglasses. Also, isn't my little boy just the sweetest?!?!

This is Bèr. He's going as Paddington Dog for Halloween. Distant cousin of Paddington Bear, but with a strikingly similar fashion sense. Prefers peanut butter to marmalade. 14/10

Yesterday I (early) voted for @BetoORourke. If you live in #Texas and care about Texas this is the right candidate for governor.
