@RayaKhedker Not for deep reading. But I have young kids, and listening is better than not reading at all

Do you think “listening” to a book is as effective as reading it?

@schizesq Baths are a 2-3 times per week. The rest of the routine generally consists of trying to get kids to stop jumping on beds, into pajamas, with teeth brushed, etc. But we do read for about half an hour every night

Do most baby parents really have a whole bedtime routine with a bath, book, lotion, etc every single night, or am I being bamboozled by TikTok moms? Pls tell me it’s ok that I don’t do all of these things every night lol

Me at beginning of sem: If I can get through IRB this sem, I'll be good IRB: We'll ask for a bunch of minor revisions, but we'll spread them out over several submissions, each of which will take a month+ for new revision Me now: Maybe next semester? IRB: So naive! (evil laugh)

@steph_wils @UNCOSociology @NPRCodeSwitch @applysociology Thanks so much for sharing; this is great! I think I'll rework the class to read this around Halloween next time I teach it :-) Have you listened to the show @yourewrongabout? It's great for moral panics (including, if I'm remembering right, an episode on Halloween panics)

@kotankoa @UNCOSociology @NPRCodeSwitch SUCH a great example of moral panics! Your students might enjoy this piece on moral panics and Halloween from @applysociology! appliedworldwide.com/sociology-of-h… the panic around rainbow fentanyl this year is another great example!

Reviewing the CRT reading for my contemporary social theory course @UNCOSociology and am reminded how silly it is that people think we are teaching this perspective for analyzing race and racism to children in K-12. What a bizarre reality those folks are living in 🙃

This is right on. All the time

@CoffeeBaseball Thanks; I appreciate it!

@CoffeeBaseball I have a terrible time reading since becoming a parent. I listen to audiobooks as much as I can, which is (for me) good for substantive stuff but not theory. Lately, I'm trying to spend 45min reading each morning after writing (1.5hrs), but it means waking @ 4-5am (kids up at 7)

Working on a grant app, & 3/4 of the multi-k total would go to childcare costs (the rest to housing)

@GradSocPurdue @BayleeHudgens Such an interesting presentation!

@BayleeHudgens presented her paper “Threat and Legislative Channeling of Protest in Four U.S. States” on Sunday as well!

We had a great time at #ASA2022 sharing our research and learning from other scholars!

Trying to make a cake at my brother's house gives me sympathy for people on baking shows. All the tools are just different & unfamiliar enough to make everything take twice as long and come out wrong

Now that I've finished my roundtable, I can finally sit back and enjoy LA...by finishing the web content for a book so that I can pay my bills & then planning my fall social problems course

Traveling to a conference with family is the epitome of grad school with kids. I want to spend the whole trip with the family AND at the conference simultaneously and feel sad/guilty about missing either, even while attending to the other #ASA2022

@sheathescholar I have an official policy that I apply if someone tries to turn everything in at once. But for most late work, I just accept it at full credit, unless something we did in class depended on that work being done by a certain date

folks who teach in higher ed — what’s your late work policy? p.s. I’m mostly interested in hearing from people who teach through a lens of equity/justice in their classrooms

@jeffguhin My wife & I have this exact conversation several times a week

Me: two children have brought me to the physical limit of human exhaustion Also me: maybe it would be cool to have a third kid

@Nic_Frame So glad that your students spoke up!

Well deserved; he's also a great adviser!

@kerbygoff I like the sentiment . . . but not sure about the degree of commitment . . .

Give Me Footnotes* or Give Me Death *not endnotes

@GallegaRgee @OpenAcademics @PhD_Genie The same thing happened to me on Friday :-)

Today my journal submission from my master's thesis got rejected. And that's okay. Trying to learn to be kinder to myself, and to look at things more objectively. @OpenAcademics #phdlife #phdvoice #gradschool #AcademicTwitter #PhD #AcademicChatter #phdchat @PhD_Genie

I noticed a dead fly on the sill yesterday but forgot to clean it. Our 1yo has started climbing chairs, & this pm, I caught him with a chair against the window, lips puckered & fly gone. My wife & 4yo said they didn't clean it. So it looks like our 1yo cleaned up the fly himself
