So excited to share with you all my article, “Mind the (Linguistic) Gap: On ‘Flagging’ ESL Students at Queensborough Community College,” in this timely and important edited collection on equitable writing placement at two-year colleges!

Two-year college folks! #TYCA23 registration is open (with a discount if you bundle with 4Cs): ncte.org/groups/tyca/ty… TYCA NCTE CCCC. Looking forward to seeing y’all in Chicago in February!

#TYCA23 proposal decisions have been sent out! Congrats to our accepted presenters. TYCA

Chairing TYCA Nat’l was one of my 2022 highlights. Holding my opening remarks in TETYC & knowing they’ll reach future TYC faculty is the cherry on top. Infinite TY Darin Jensen, Steph Maenhardt, conference planning cmte. Excited to reconvene in Chicago w/ Chair Jason Evans!

Tired, heartbroken, and angry. Woke up to the news of 10 dead in mass shooting in Monterey Park. This could’ve been my — and your — loved ones. It could’ve been us. Can’t we just celebrate our culture without worrying about getting gunned down? Is that too much to ask for?

Ten dead. At least ten injured. Shooter still at large. Happy fucking new year to us, the country where this happens regularly and nobody’s gonna do a damn thing about it. #MontereyPark latimes.com/california/sto…

We’re about 10 days out from #TYCA23 in Chi-Town and I’m looking fwd to presenting in the below panels. Excited to reunite w/friends & colleagues after 3 years, talk about all things two-year college writing, and explore the city. Plus, keynote Decoteau J. Irby! TYCA

Very excited to read this! Congrats to Shane Wood on the release.

Just landed in Chicago! Shout out to my fellow TYCA and CCCC attendees. See y’all starting at the TYCA Opening Session tomorrow 👍 TYCA NCTE CCCC #TYCA23 #teamrhetoric

Feeling invigorated and grateful for the lifelong friends I got to see again, and new ones I made at #TYCA23 and #4C23. It was good to be in person again. So long, Chicago—and cheers to all my fellow writing nerds! #teamrhetoric TYCA NCTE CCCC

My new favorite Twitter thread:

State Sen. Nathan Dahm (R-OK) has penned several bills loosening gun restrictions, including the nation’s first anti-red flag law. He thinks these bills protect the Second Amendment – and that they make us safer. We think it's probably one or the other. Watch it on @AppleTVPlus.

“Hydrate or Die-drate!” - Sean Bonnette says, brandishing a water bottle and taking a swig, before launching into “Kokopelli Face Tattoo.” Excellent show tonight by AJJ at Webster Hall. #RockResponsibly

Not expecting anyone to read all this, but since we’re talking about him, R.I.P., Bob Barker. ❤️

I love this, and I love her. RINA SLAYWAYAMA “STFU!” youtu.be/XojM2D3F-Dc?fe… via YouTube

Have been kinda MIA from here but if you’re at #MLA2024, here’s your invite to attend “Literacies of Self-Care: Commemorating and Un/Settling the Self across Contexts” on Friday:

Just finished reading Hua Hsu’s memoir, ‘Stay True.’ A beautiful tribute to a friend, and musing on what it means to be an Asian American, and child of immigrants. A particularly poignant passage:

A toast, to my 5-year defense-iversary, and the best mentors I could have ever asked for, Drs. Christie Toth and Jay Jordan.

SO excited to share the release of my piece on multilingual student identities in the Journal of Basic Writing! It’s a privilege to be included alongside such stellar scholars. Read the article and issue here: wac.colostate.edu/jbw/v42n2/
