A thread on my year in popular writing. (Or: 'Ten rabbit holes I fell into, got lost in, and reported back from.)

@fossilfreenu Sure, yes, this is the way to motivate faculty to advocate for what you want. Very strategic.

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

@rebeccafrausel I got carried away! But then I was too tired to write at anything but a snail's pace.

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

Did I stay up until 5am writing?
Yes.

Is the paper done?
No.

How do I say, "Chill on the emphatic italics, dude" in a manuscript review?

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

@kensycoop I will pay you actual dollars for a copy of you singing 'Ummm-welt' like Hanson. Do you prefer PayPal or Venmo?

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

@kensycoop Definitely not Covid approved! I watch a lot of Thai shows, and they do this often, though more to show affection than as a greeting. From the outside, it feels very intimate and familial. I mean, who hasn't sniffed a baby?!? Pure joy.

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

What a great resource, for families and researchers alike!

@kensycoop Maybe it's the regular old model: when communicative cues are limited in one aspect, compensate in another. So, volume compensates for lack of, say, physical and verbal naunces?

[Nina Simms @ninaksimms]

@kensycoop We're not doing enough greeting these days to override this habit with a new one. Habits are contextually cued, but we can't practice these new behaviors in the old context. At least, not rn.

In the last month I have completed a dozen reviews. Please, people, save me from myself and stop doing super interesting work! I can't seem to turn down a tempting review invitation to save my life (or sanity)!
