I think I'm leaving this platform, which while it's not the same I am grateful that it connected me with some of the coolest folks who I now call some of dearest friends.

It's okay to take a break today—it even better if it includes cookies. 💙

It is advising season and I gotta say, freshmen are such a delight. Also, one of my students said she's extremely disappointed that I have not had a pork roll breakfast sandwich.

I don't ever love doing proofs or copy edits, but the current one I'm working on is really something.

Some examples of editor changes:
"white" to "White"
"Black" to "black"
"duoethnography" to "dual-ethnography"
"woman" to "female"

For a book on antiracist teacher prep😡

[Chris Montecillo Leider @cmleider]

@AlexSVenet Sigh. Sorry you had to experience that too.
