Students! Are you in my 5W2 course (4240/5150)? Need the books? @Voertmans, @BNatUNT, and that one huge online retailer with the 2-day shipping all have the two required books in stock. Both are very affordable, pinky swear.

If you are one of my current or former students and you're graduating this semester, please email me ASAP! I have an idea.

If you think my jokes are bad on Canvas, this is apparently what it’s like living with me. 😐 #thesedogsaintloyal #quarantinedayidk #sendhelp

While the world paints “young people” as ignorant, defiant party animals, I have an inbox full of them trying to complete coursework while being forced out of their dorms, losing their jobs, and dealing w/ the unthinkable. Sooo maybe we should reconsider that narrative. #GMG

Contagion and Outbreak I get, but why is Space Jam trending on Netflix? 🧐

A short letter to all my students in regard to all the changes taking place in response to COVID-19. I mean every word, so please reach out and let me know how I can help you.

You’re telling me my professor who can’t stop the YouTube autoplayer from playing the next video is going to teach classes online? This should be good.

Somewhat media-related? Love is Blind. I can’t with this show, y’all. You can’t get engaged to someone after playing telephone with them for five days. Amazon Wardobe gives you seven days. If I need to think about this denim jacket for a week, y’all can’t get engaged. Nope.

It’s so meaningful that brilliant female athletes like Diana Taurasi and Sabrina Ionescu are getting this opportunity to discuss their relationship with Kobe. People need to see his support of female athletes went beyond just having a daughter. #ForKobeAndGigi

Devastated. ⁦@kobebryant⁩ was always great with me. His support of women’s sports & those of us that cover them was unwavering. The last thing he said to me was, “If you ever need anything, I got you.” Grateful for his gracious spirit. ❤️ is breaking for his family #Kobe

There’s a worrying rise in journalists being arrested for ‘fake news’ around the world

There’s a worrying rise in journalists being arrested for ‘fake news’ around the world

Rights groups say countries including Egypt, Turkey and Cameroon are really just imprisoning journalists for publishing news they don't like.

Thinking about bringing back the wildly successful Hand Turkey Challenge from 2017. This was the winner because duh. Grand prize is TBA, but I’m thinking donuts and a Starbucks gift card. Who’s interested??
