Miss Mariah

I'm a 40-something wife, mother, writer, photographer, knitter, recovering journalist, college prof and shepherd.

@JillCallison Me, too. It’s one of the biggest things I miss. It’s 17 years for me.

There is nothing more small town Iowa than discussing preferred meat locker at the local bar.

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

@Rushthewriter Yup. Getting into lecture mode.

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

@Rushthewriter Correct. It is exactly how you feel.

@Rushthewriter The bolo tie is for formal events. And I bet that tie is a clip on, and he has “dress” boots which are different that “office” boots or “work” boots. Some of them may indeed be older than you are, Ty.

Today I did something I never thought I would: subscribed to ESPN so I could watch #Jackrabbit football. Apparently, when your baby is in the band, and there’s a chance to see her, you elevate your casual following of #sdstatefootball

@Rushthewriter You’re in a j-school. All of us have at least some tendencies like this. They’re quietly chanting “one of us” repeatedly.

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

@Rushthewriter Who’s counting?

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

@Rushthewriter If you handled that, you’re ready to manage most things in the classroom.

@JillCallison Mine, too! How dare a midwestern governor get the VP-nod and they were snubbed. Who would have thought caring about kids would be recognized.

@JillCallison We were in Yankton camping last week. In a less than 10 minute period my oldest got 75 mosquito bites. It ruined her camping experience.

@FAKEBOBVP I hear there was a Chevy Traverse that floated on flood water a 1/4 mile in God’s County before it got caught on the shoulder of another road.

Pro tip: if you are collaborating on a document with someone do not just highlight text that needs work, explain why it is highlighted/what needs to done. I can’t read your mind, Karen.

Fair dues, her twin brother also went to prom. There were more shots on the gravel road. He took our 62 Mercury Comet to the dance.

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

My masterpiece: turning my child into a Greek goddess draped in liquid gold. Is it even prom, if you don’t do photos on a gravel road in Iowa? #prom2024 #cashmerettepatterns

For the first time in my life I am paying attention to the NFL draft. There are many players from SDState who have been drafted. It’s surreal, I typically don’t care about sports.

Quote from assignment about minority rep in media: “I gained a lot perspective watching and comparing these shows. It will definitely affect how I watch my next shoe, I will always be looking to see how the minorities are shown.

[Miss Mariah @Knitmo]

This semester has been hard, I’m teaching 3 new courses. But oh man is it worth it. The realizations these students have made this semester boggles the mind. They are so much more media aware, media literate and now ask the right questions. I did my job.

Do you remember when you joined X? I do, only because it told me. #MyXAnniversary
