I started designing my stickers 2 years ago!! My shop will reopen soon with new designs but had to share this classic #EducatedChingona

@KobysKing I’ll be down to co-edit something with you 🧟

Anyone interested in Latin American horror/supernatural/gothic & want to co-edit a special issue? 👀

Last minute addition to my teaching load for next semester: an asynchronous/online Latin American film class. What are some cool assignments I can do that do not require discussion posts?!?!?

This hallway at the NIH used to have posters of women and POC scientists but they just got taken down. But somehow this MLK poster made the cut.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more. I'm trying to save them. You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

New: CPS confirmed that ICE agents visited Hamline Elementary in Back of the Yards Friday in Chicago.

@UciMexicanistas Oigan, con tantos desastres a nuestro alrededor ojalá consideren extender la fecha un poco. Quiero participar pero mi universidad está en peligro de incendio y los últimos días han sido muy difíciles por los desastres naturales y políticos

Yo cuando me doy cuenta de que el Call for Papers de UCI Mexicanistas cierra este viernes!!! forms.gle/kjEmFgPJiywHYa…

@pchemistariel Been in contact with a lot of colleagues who also live there and dont have a car. It’s so scary

@academicmami No. But a lot of my research students live on campus. They’re out or almost out stuck in traffic. It’s also semi close to my research space.

I’m just an academic in SoCal affected by yet another fire asking those academics with upcoming deadlines for CFPs/abstracts to PLEASE extend them! Trying to survive here 🥴 (ps: image of the air quality where I live today)

@pchemistariel Were you there? I hope you’re safe. 🙏🏼

@academicmami And now campus is evacuated

New fire by my university, evacuation orders are in place 😩

@KobysKing One of my fave films! Got to see it in theaters in Mex then I shared it with Van Delden for one of his classes. Currently have an article under review on this. 🤞🏼

My class watched Los adioses (2017) for today, and we had one of the best discussions I've ever had with students 😍🔥

Would love to stay up to date with a bunch of you! 🦋 account: academicmami.bsky.social

seven years?!

He missed out on DACA by a couple of days, and now this too. How is this humane?!

I can talk about the money & time wasted due to the Republican block of Parole in Place. But it all seems insignificant compared to the heartbreak we feel for my husband. 34+ ys in this country, married to a U.S. citizen, parent of 2 citizens, & condemned to live in the shadows.

Academics, what are some iPad apps you use? Feeling like an old person asking this but I only use my personal iPad to watch stuff 🫣 my university bought me a mini one & I want to actually use it for work stuff

@KobysKing The new faculty asked me what my emergency plan was for earthquakes. Told them I’ve been living here for 24 years without one, that I can only remember a couple of bad ones. We had an earthquake that same day (last week) & I felt so bad for them 🫣

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in California, my windows started to rattle, I paused and thought “is this an earthquake?”, realized it was and kept reading

Really thinking I should just quit this tenure track job and open a taco truck called the “taco track” instead
