What a pleasure to call these folks friends and colleagues. Talking #EJ wins and opportunities! #SSEC2022

For the fifth day in a row my first published book chapter has been the featured article of @OxUniPress The Oxford Handbook of Indigenous Sociology now avail., edited by #IndigenousScholars Drs. Maggie Walter, @thkukutai, Angela Gonzales, & Robert Henry oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/o…

@tanya_eison Yay! That is such wonderful news 👏🏼👏🏽👏🏼👏🏽

My jaw dropped twice today! 1: learning that my first book chapter was published 2: realizing it is the FEATURED #Oxfordhandbook article! Proud #Indigenous scholar. Grateful for the collaboration that this piece is wholly owed to. #landback #decolonization #climatechange

My wife and I were out for dinner and she mumbles something about #Ichiro throwing the @Mariners opening pitch. A couple minutes later she’s red faced and teary eyed and I asked what’s wrong? She looks over my shoulder and says “there’s something about athletic excellence.”

Can @Google make a “remove before times” filter? I don’t trust the relevancy of pre-June 2020 search results.

This is why the 1619 Project exists. This is why the decades of scholarship that undergirds the 1619 Project exists. Because if we do nothing, they will co-opt our history and use it against us.

#Hollywood can it be time to adopt smart home ring systems and *STOP RINGING DOORBELLS* so I’m not all “and just like BARK BARK BARK…”

I’m Googling to learn if I own my intellect so that I can contribute to what western science deems knowledge. This shit isn’t owned by anyone, it was built by my ancestors and serves our future gens. #intellectualproperty #Indigenousscience #Indiginerd

Plateaus are the highest form of flattery. #ThursdayThoughts
