I‘m moving! Hope to see you @LydiaTangPhD.

I have two under five. This is utterly depressing. https://t.co/uytdF6Tad0

The special kind of doom seeing the #Covid19 testing lines grow longer by the day. #HereWeGoAgain

Congratulations to class parent, playground hero, baby whisperer, violin coach, and as of this weekend also full professor @GilbertTangMD. Thank you for being a full partner throughout your amazing career.

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

@caitilinwalsh @caitilinwalsh You rock!

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

Shout out to my husband @GilbertTangMD who is one person away from reaching 5000 followers on Twitter. Have an interest in cardiac surgery? Help him make it happen! And yes, our relationship is going strong despite a 4900 gulf in followers that divides us on this platform.

[Dr. Nadia Chaudhri @DrNadiaChaudhri]

Genuinely excited about the @chronicle's new series on Careers on the Staff Track. Thanks, @readywriting, for sharing your experience and practical advice with others! https://t.co/UKdmRhFsPK

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

Great colleagues to boot!

“This lack of protection places parents in an agonizing position of trying to keep their children safe while maintaining productive careers, and once again, women and historically excluded groups will bear the brunt of the losses…” https://t.co/lzlAGwfhQr

So impressed with the roundtable that the @GSATeaching Network & @AATGOnline put together for the @TheGSA conference, including the integration with the Art Night. Thank you for making the GSA a more inclusive and exciting place, and for centering teaching and K-12 collaborations

[Hannah Robbins (they/them) @drhannahrobbins]

I wish academics got Pedagogy Leave where you some spend weeks reading all the new articles/books, learning new learning tech, and auditing loads of other people's teaching so that you can learn and improve and grow in a focused way.

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

Thank you, @PaulaKrebs! And then please head over to this new MLA resource and talk to me about how we can expand on it https://t.co/nGPEjihSCZ

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

Looking forward to supporting you, @liana_m_silva, and your terrific colleagues on the @MLAnews K-16 committee in these important endeavors. Thank you for serving in this role!

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

Come visit the new Digital Repository on the ADE and ADFL websites @MLAnews! @DanicaSavonick’s project on Collaborative Public Projects in the Literature Classroom is among the innovative teaching ideas featured there https://t.co/nGPEjihSCZ

@RenttheRunway Not planning on returning this one anytime soon.

[Lydia B. Tang @GermanExpat]

“removing indoor mask req. for the vaccinated w. no verification is essentially doing away w. masks altogether; doing so before kids under 12 are eligible [...] is both irresponsible and one more ex. of how parents have been asked to bear so much of the burden of this pandemic.”

[NBC News THINK @NBCNewsTHINK]

The CDC's new mask rules are freeing — unless you've got a small child who can't take theirs off, writes @joyengel.

Every parent of a child under 12 has to convince them to keep a mask on for the foreseeable future.

Can we imagine a discipline where “inclusivity and broad representation” is not limited to “full-time faculty status at a four-year institution” but may also include part-time faculty members and colleagues at community colleges? @AATGOnline #TheGermanQuarterly
