Companies: "We're committed to diversity." The diversity: 👨🏻 👨🏻👨🏻👨🏻 👨🏻👨🏻👩🏼👨🏻 👨🏾👨🏻👩🏿👩🏼👩🏾‍🦰

A wonderful piece by Sana Ahmed Wilder (she/her)! "...turn to your grandmothers’ quilts, temperature blankets, writing, and art. What data exists there that we’ve been passing off as relics of domestic work, instead of paying attention to their deeper meaning?" dataliteracy.com/handmade-in-pu…

When I committed to be antiracist, I began to see my own history differently. If you have the privilege to access your history, culture, and identity, view it as a #datanerd and let's work together to revise European-centered history books.

Today's home office: logging on to the remote portal in a dark bathtub while playing hide and seek with a Kindergartener on spring break.

Love this column chart from AJ Labs. I'm all about those medjools with a bit of goat cheese and a sprinkling of almonds #hipsterkajoors #iftar #ramadanmubarak

How hypocritical Evaluation Headlines : invite scholars and researchers to share about equitable and inclusive practices while upholding white supremacist culture by profiting off of black and brown labor. Count me out of #eval21

I attended this Evaluation Headlines town hall and was impressed by leadership's transparency, listening to members, and showing they truly heard voices by changing their policies. So I may submit a proposal this year but.......virtual conferences are marathons. How do you survive them?

Spent this weekend reading Child Trends guide titled 'How to Embed a Racial and Ethnic Equity Perspective in Research.' It contains alternatives and advantages to "gold standard RCTs" that are going to make you SING. Must-read.

Since I became What Works Clearinghouse certified earlier this year, my results have been requested a few times. Guess what friends? Now you can just look my name up in their directory! #legit #itme #anotheremail #saved

As a designer who consults with museums on gender inclusive practice, I am often asked about signage and icons. Here are some of my top recs for easy swaps you can make for a more gender inclusive visitor experience:

Amanda Coleman question made me rethink so much of what I've learned "Are we okay with continuing to conduct research that are steeped in intellectual tradition [of examining marginalized communities without marginalized communities]?" Nope. Thanks Mathematica

When I tell my coworkers I'll be out because my cousin's getting married, they say, "Have fun this weekend." But Mendhi, Nikkah, Shaadi/Reception, and Walima is not a weekend. It's a whole week. I'll need a work-ruhksati for this.

"Thank you for trusting and sharing with me." "I know we're both trying to do what's right." And my all time favorite: "I love you too much to argue with anger." These one-liners helped me discuss #COVID with 2 vaccine-hesitant loved ones who are now #vaxxed 🎉 #lovewins ❤️

Bought my kids pop-its two weeks ago and now everything is an icon array. Highly recommend for all my fellow fidgeters.

An observation about great colleagues: they turn any envy of others' success into inspiration, focusing on doing WITH them, bolstering collective impact, instead of VERSUS them, diminishing potential outcomes. How do you help folks turn their envy into inspiration? #leadership

It's Friday so in reflecting on the past workweek. Blown away by the fun and usefulness of the Region 14 Comprehensive Center Year 3 kick-off. Big 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 to my colleagues & friends who brought all the real-time energy to a virtual environment. #evaltwitter #edresearch

I love how this red to green color scale is different from how we usually use these colors in our graphics....but perfectly fitting for all those lush red leaves. Give me all those long wavelengths, trees! Signed, your resident basic fall lady.

I was lucky to meet about a dozen colleagues in-person this week. I admit I forgot how to speak to people without staring into a soulless blue LED light on a webcam. Hmu for coaching on eye contact.

Of course Nelnet called today urging me to sign up for autodebit ASAP, not knowing I check my emails from U.S. Department of Education. I. Just. Why?
