Libraries are sanctuaries to me. I feel like I don’t express this enough, so I’m doing it now, here. #libraries #publiclibraries

Goodness, this helps with those pesky imposter syndrome feels.

Reminding myself that I’m a “Level 3 (well, 2 & 1/2) linguist” and that’s perfectly okay. 🤩 https://t.co/oqpj0of5px

@carmnoelle True, I thought about that after I posted. Like, what if there are people out there who value fashion over comfort? What a world. I am obviously not one of those people. 😅

Dont understand how these ladies up north are wearing just leggings as pants. I’m wearing leggings UNDER my pants and I’m still a frozen block of ice. Mad respect. #frozen #madprops #canadalife

19th Annual CILLDI summer program at the beautiful U of Alberta (July 9-27, 2018) is dedicated to the revitalization of Indigenous languages. We supply tools to Indigenous language activists so that they can better protect, preserve, promote, practice, and pass on their language.

Felt guilty about playing hooky at home today til I remembered I pay for this place. It's not laziness it's getting my money's worth. 👌😜

Also in today's classroom police, if a question is asked to the prof please LET THE PROF ANSWER. The helpfulness is nice but isn't helping.

I'm convinced that the people who laugh condescendingly when someone asks a question in class are the worst kind of people.
