My five year old has discovered Mad Libs and it’s as joyful and wholesome as you would imagine.
We asked her for an action word (verb) and the first one she chose was “electrocute” (bc she loves Pikachu)!

Proud of Alex Morgan and especially Naomi Girma for their inclusion in the World Cup rosters. The Wave will miss them while they're in Australia and NZ. Special cheer for the 10(!) players in their 30s that made the squad.

I said something about the cost of food and my 5 year old said: When I'm president, I'm going to lower the price of all food and make sure that women get paid the same as men.

Last class of the semester today with my students from Haiti, Ukraine, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Mexico, Ecuador, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, and Ghana.
So inspired by their hard work and motivation toward learning. Honored to be a small part of their journeys.

Helped a friend with interview prep and just found out today she got the call for round 2. She's an adjunct road warrior & deserves this.
Interviews in academia are no joke. Now she meets with the dean & president to talk big picture stuff. Let's go!

“As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t,” Trump said.
“Secret. This is secret information. Look, look at this… This was done by the military and given to me… it is like, highly confidential. Secret.”
Just your former American President, on tape, committing espionage.

The no-knock warrant police used in the Breonna Taylor case was proven falsified by the Justice Dept. Since Taylor's death, Louisville officials have banned no-knock warrants in Louisville and Lexington, though it's still in use statewide. #BreonnaTaylor #Justice4Breonna #noknock #BLM

Telltale sign that someone is actually engaging in an ism? They are not at all curious when called out.
Instead, they justify with defensive posturing, engage like the stuck pig that squeals the loudest, and often become offensive.

At a pride flag raising event yesterday, a colleague said the flag symbolized not having to choose between being herself and being safe at work.
It has stuck with me as a reminder of how much I take for granted.

I have two followers on TikTok, both named Rachel. One is my friend and the other is Rachel Maddow. WTH?
No idea how that happened, but I may just keep it that way for a while.

How has the Tulsa, Oklahoma Massacre affected modern-day culture? HBO Max's top series, The Watchmen, provides an example.
The Watchmen hypothesized the way America would be different if there had been White Tulsa accountability and reparations to Black Tulsa's descendants.

Got home at the same time as my neighbor, who I’d previously thought was kind of a fratty dude-bro, and he goes, “were you at the game?”
“Uh, yes, the #WaveFC game.” (Thinking he may not know who that is.)
“Us too,” he says, gesturing at his two young sons.
(Incorrect assumption shattered!)

My kindergartner was very upset at pickup today. "School is worse than Florida!" she shouted. What? "They took my book away." Why, I asked. "They said I couldn't have it. Like that guy in Florida."
I silently cheered my parent win and explained the difference.

Do you ever just take a step back and think about the fact that we're banning books. Like telling other people which books they can and can't read. In 2023.

There is another way to treat people who come to the U.S. seeking asylum. We saw it with how the Biden administration treated Ukrainian refugees. Family detention and separation does not have to be the norm when people show up to our borders seeking safety and refuge.

Congrats to San Diego State Aztecs Women's Softball for winning the LA Regional for the first time ever! I wish it was getting more coverage here locally and on another channel besides ESPN+ where most people could tune in.

I volunteered to contribute a gift basket to an upcoming work fundraiser. Massage gift card, chocolates, wine, they told me.
They're getting a "drink tea, read books, and dismantle systems of oppression" gift basket. Because I'm fun (and we all need it)!

One year later…#Buffalo. 10 human beings, several of them elders in the Black community 🖤. Gunned down by a White man so enraged by lies about what he’s “losing,” so indoctrinated to an ideology of White Supremacy. A vessel for violence who never should have been armed.

I keep thinking about all the lessons we could have learned from the pandemic, but didn't.
Mostly thinking that we should have realized our connectedness, and that could have made us care more for one another. And yet it feels like there is more animosity rather than more compassion.

Anyone else feel a little sad when the George Santos news took the attention off of Trump's sexual assault case?
I know it demonstrates a pattern of dishonesty and corruption in the GOP, but couldn't we have stayed on Trump's news for at least a few days?

If a guy's first instinct is to defend a rapist, it's safe to conclude that he's one, too.
Some men online today are really telling on themselves.
