Hello! I am mostly off social media to protect my peace, but also learn a lot from all of you, so here I am.

I was shocked by this as well. not even the sheerest of veils over the self-servingness and all wrapped in a pretense of political analysis

Washington Post reporter on MSNBC now saying the Harris campaign isn’t giving them press conferences, but Trump does, and that’s gonna REALLY hurt her.

These fucking people are so far up their own asses.

it’s exhausting to see otherwise intelligent people fail to grasp that the hypocrisy and self-servingness is the entire point. proving intellectual dishonesty is pointless and a huge waste of everyone’s time.

Former Prince Andrew clearly has no courage or morals, only self-servingness and an inherited and embedded sense of entitlement - like most of these despicable men.

The double failure to convict upon impeachment—indefensible on its own terms, and adding an overlay of presidential unaccountability and invulnerability—was a predictably logical culmination of McConnell’s already established, deeply rooted cynicism and self-servingness. 5/6

🎙️ New week, new theme! Strategizing for Servingness

As we prepare for the launch of Servingness 2.0 in 2026, we’re spotlighting episodes with HSI leaders who are already modeling its most critical process: leadership and decision-making for transformation.
🌻 Transformation Teams Leading HSIs with Flor Huerta, Robert "Bobby" Holcomb, and Julio Flores 🌻 Leading and Enacting Servingness con Cariño with Marla Franco 🌻 Honoring the Past & Strategizing for the Future with Michael Benitez, Jr. & Manuel Del Real 🌻 ¿Si No Yo, Quien? HSI Directors Leading the Way with Cyndia Morales Muñiz The servingness 2.0 framework (to be released in 2026) now includes “servingness processes,” moving it from a stagnate to dynamic model. One of the essential servingness processes is the leadership and decision-making practices of leaders, and particularly administrators who are positioned to strategize and provide resources for the HSI movement. Several episodes of QPH uncover these processes as Dr. Garcia interviewed some of the most impactful and transformational leaders in the movement. These episodes provide insights and strategies that have the potential to inform and inspire HSIs, emerging HSIs, striving HSIs, and aspiring HSIs to design responsive initiatives that build institutional capacity for servingness. These strategies are also important for navigating the complex political and policy landscape of HSIs and for engaging grassroots leaders in the institution and local communities.

Our research team's new journal article in AERA Open reports findings from a study of 27 Latin* undergraduate Ss' experiences of servingness [i.e., racially-affirming support at Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)], particularly focusing on gateway math instruction. doi.org/10.1177/2332... (1/5)

An example of the thoughtful & meaningful strategy I've always admired about the Democratic party and supported, that does not happen in the "Me, me, me" Republican party of self-servingness.

But I think there's definitely some self-servingness about how and when he released it.

You can also learn more about TIPS research during an episode of the "¿Qué Pasa, HSIs?" podcast (@quepasahsis.bsky.social), which amplifies HSI research & practices for servingness. TIPS team members joined Dr. Garcia for a convo about disrupting intersectional oppression in math across HSIs. (5/5)

Applying an adaptation of @ginaanngarcia.bsky.social's servingness model as our analytical lens (see figure), we examined journaling and interview data for Latin* Ss' perceptions of math instructional practices that limited or promoted support for their racial & intersectional identities. (2/5)

Cautiously optimistic. Need to be careful about power dynamics. But reduced pettiness, self-servingness, and incivility in peer review a net positive

"So let me try to break [linguistic servingness] down into four different levels. So I'll start with access. Who has access to the language and in what ways?...Second, recognition. What we need is bilingualism to be formally recognized and valued by the institution..." - Katie Christoffersen

I love this!! Is this published? I need it for the updated servingness framework. We do account for all systems of oppression in the new model.

Second episode of Season 8 just dropped!

In this episode we learn with Dr. Katie Christoffersen, Associate Vice Provost for Bilingual Integration and Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), exploring the concept of linguistic servingness at HSIs
Episode Description: In this episode we learn with Dr. Katie Christoffersen, Associate Vice Provost for Bilingual Integration and Associate Professor of Applied Linguistics at University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV), exploring the concept of linguistic servingness at HSIs. Katie shares the story of how UTRGV built bilingualism into its academic core through the B3 initiative, which allows students to take courses across disciplines taught in Spanish or bilingually and graduate with the B3 Scholar Seal as an official honor on their transcripts. The conversation covers the origins of the initiative, how faculty are trained and compensated, and the compelling outcome data showing that students in B3 courses demonstrate higher academic success and satisfaction. Katie also offers four practical recommendations for HSIs looking to implement linguistic servingness on their own campuses, including starting with a baseline inventory, putting money behind the work, institutionalizing systems rather than one-off projects, and building an evidence base. She closes by defining linguistic servingness as "the institutional practice of treating students' full linguistic repertoire as an academic asset with actions and not just with words," and breaks it down into four dimensions: access, recognition, labor, and ideology.
