PSA of the day: Googling opinions and finding panic on Reddit or TikTok is not the same as conducting rigorous research and engaging in legitimate and valid scientific inquiry.

Trying to write just a little writing when I can.
Tonight's sentence from a book I'm writing: "And regardless of the outcome, this instance, this exact moment of connection and beauty after years of longing, was one that both history and sober denial could not erase."

(1/3) Hey, just a reminder to write.
To keep writing. To keep feeling through your words, your process, your thoughts.
It doesn't matter if you think the words aren't good enough, that the sentences are clunky, or that grammar isn't your strength; that's okay.
Some folks may want to...

(1/2) Spontaneously this summer, I decided to apply for a new master's degree in English Studies. I was accepted and started last month.
So, I figured it's a good time to redesign my website, especially since I've found my fire and passion for writing again, and differently.

The second and fourth richest men control Google.
The third richest man owns The Washington Post.
The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

As the semester is starting, I want to remind folks across different parts of higher education that some professors also have disabilities and that accommodations, consideration, and adjustments are not only for students. (1/2)

The Trump administration has approved the first AI data center to be built on federal public land. The project will occupy roughly 88.5 acres of Bureau of Land Management land in southern Nevada and will set a major precedent for using America’s public lands for private AI infrastructure.

Submitted 3 proposals for AERA. Toronto, where it's held this next year, was my first international flight, prompting me to get my passport for the first time at 30.
Here's to hoping and crossing fingers! I haven't attended many conferences for a few years, and I'm ready now 😊

Trying to get back into writing, but focusing on my fiction again. I do this every summer, but trying to set realistic goals now.
So, at the end of today, I managed to hit my goal even after a long day of class prepping.
Here's to hopefully finishing a manuscript soon.
