I love having a job I can just leave when there’s nothing on the calendar. Oh, coffees out? I’m out.

I forget bluesky exists until I’m talking with Jon and my brain is randomly like oh hey remember that app.

I like ending class with a simple “Thank you for visiting my channel. Make sure to like and subscribe.”

What I’m hearing is you need someone to bring you out for a celebratory dinner.

Is being in your 30s sleeping till 8:20 on your day off and feeling like you slept in?

Watching my childhood best friend talk about qualitative research methods was healing in a way you’d only understand if you were us.

If we got end of life stats, I’d want mine to tell me how many times I explained what anthropology was in my life 🏺

I asked them how they knew it was mine.. to which they said

“Duh, I’d see a mason jar of black coffee anywhere and assume it’s yours”

I can’t believe they didn’t tell me 😭😭😭

Yesterday I went to wash my hands before serving food..

As I turned the corner in the hallway, there it was.. my missing coffee.. sitting alone on a counter.

When I walked back in and informed my students I found it they were dumbfounded..

“Yeah we saw it, we thought you meant to leave it there”

This has truly been such a beautiful semester. I always cry when I read the end of semester reflections I have the students write. I wanted to be an anthropologist because I knew anthropology could be my tool for positively impacting others.. and as I read their words, I can see how right I was.

For my module on Public Anthropology, I asked my students to create something that said “we were here, we existed together this semester, and this is what we want you to know”. Then I stepped back and watched as they created.

It was beautiful 🏺

I did not know being a professor would mean being perceived so much.

A student asked if I liked the coffee I was drinking. I’m like well, since you asked, no, but why lol

She’s like while it’s usually slightly darker.

They know what kind of black my black coffee normally is????? 🏺

I think at this point, I can put “professional emergency contact” on my resume.. I also need to stop taking new clients.

I read my poetry at an open mic last night to a bunch of strangers.

That was so lovely.

While getting into my car I was informed by a man in the parking lot that I was parked in the faculty parking lot.

I said “I know” and carried about my business.

I need like a wrinkle or something in the shape of “not a student” on my forehead.

Just got stitches for the first time and all I could think about was when my bestie dropped a shampoo bottle on her toe in like the 7th grade and had to get stitches from her dad before school that morning. Brains are weird.
