Today was interesting, to say the least, but at least I got this private message "Desiree you are POWERFUL and your voice matters! Your gift matters! I have so enjoyed your personality and your perspectives. #powerful sister!"

What an unexpected gift to receive in the mail at the office yesterday. I’m still smiling. It’s such a blessing to stay connected to the beautiful lives of my former students . So grateful to watch them flourish and grow (that’s my work address so no need to worry).

Whew, what an experience. Glad to have participated but glad to have some of my time back, my brain is both energized and exhausted.

I have another book chapter coming out. You can pre-order now at harvardeducationpress.org with 20% discount using the code EHEF21

Waking up with a headache is just ugh like the day is ruined and I’ve got stuff to do

Had what can only be described as my most violent migraine in memory last night and have no idea what triggered it. Still have a headache this morning, trying to retrace the day to see if something was off. It’s only my 2nd or 3rd migraine of the pandemic so I’ll take it as a win

I just want y’all to know that social media has completely taken over my life to the point that I now check nobones.info in the morning to see if it is gonna be a bones or no bones day. #noodlethepug

It's still weird that people want to hear my perspective on anything. I just got off a zoom w/90 ppl listening to me talk & next week is another opportunity "We Deserve Healing Not Harm" docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

bell hooks work gets used in a lot of my own work and research. What a pivotal human that shaped so much of my world views and understanding.

Y’all playing right. Y’all let Betty White die just weeks away from her 100th birthday. Nah the lies y’all are telling.

When you are trying to write a new book chapter and are just like wow I’ll never write a chapter as good as my first one 😩 I’m trying not to say the same things all over again but like my first book chapter still stands it’s still relevant #writingstruggles
