@DrJavierJ @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @academicvoices I was going to tag you in my pun post but figured that was just teeing me up for HR

And the Kindle version is only $4.99. For less than a latte, you can learn a lotte (and learn about my love of puns). ☕️ @OpenAcademics @PhDVoice @AcademicChatter @academicvoices #Kindle #kindlebook #memoir #Running #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

@kairyssdal You can resent it, but fwiw, I don’t think you and your program do this. But you have to admit that the reason why you all are so good is partly because everyone else is so bad/obtuse. Most financial journalists are talking to the investor class, not the rest of us

@samsanders @NPR @NPRItsBeenAMin I am extremely happy for you, Sam. But I’m have a panic attack thinking that I will not have your voice in my ears. I’ve been listening to you since the politics podcast was kind of a proof of concept. So, so happy for you. In deep despair for me.

And I’d like to use this moment to share some *PROFESSIONAL NEWS* as well. I’m leaving @npr, after 12+ great years. My last episode of @NPRItsBeenAMin will run March 11. Here’s the note I sent to colleagues. (It’s a little long.)

So the thing about this really introspective chat with Johnny Knoxville: we didn’t expect it to be THEE 500th episode of @NPRItsBeenAMin. It began as just a text, from @AndreaGtrrz. She had a great idea, and I said yes, which is usually how it works npr.org/2022/02/24/108…

@VRCinDC I need to learn from Elmo. See how he talked himself down? I need to learn it from him.

I can't stop laughing at this.

I don’t know anything about straight anything. But this rings true. And since I have a PhD, I’m automatically right. 💁🏽‍♂️

@VRCinDC I know they joined it too. I mean, I didn’t know. But I knew.

@DrJavierJ Marlene joined it too. And Tad. And Sue. Okay, it's a cult.

I see that no one is backing me up on my anti wordle stance. But that’s ok. History will be the judge. I will emerge triumphant. Some day.

My almost daily PSA that I don’t know what wordle is, and I ABSOLUTELY want nothing to do with it.

There’s something called “wordle.” And I absolutely want nothing to do with it. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

There seems to be a “sports” thing going on right now. Please staaaaaap.

This thread is truly legit. I can’t do the dog park thing bc my dogs are nuts. But it feels true.

Yes, I agree. They felt like real friends. As 9-10 yr old kid in NYC who barely knew English at the time—and they still feel like friends. ❤️

This @NPRItsBeenAMin episode with @samsanders @Yamiche and @ayesharascoe is an all star extravaganza. I would listen to this show all day, every day.

In which I connect the dots--and marvel at my own journey of #refashioning javierjimenezphd.com/2021/12/09/wor…

Working in my office listening to Lady Gaga ballads while holding a heating pad to my neck/shoulder. Adulthood…is just not what I was expecting…

A long one on the process of research. Here are some ditties: "Research, Reader, is a team sport" and "Research. It's a journey." javierjimenezphd.com/2021/11/14/jus…
