I’m where I am today & I got thru the most bonkers bullshit (to put it lightly) because of my sobriety. I’m a better sister, daughter, teacher, skater, mathematician, person because of my sobriety. How did I do it? One day at a time & with the love & support of family/friends. ❤️

Year 11 challenged me in ways I never fathomed that I would/could be challenged. But I stayed sober. In fact, I absolutely could not have risen to (and surpassed) those challenges had I been drinking/using. It’s really hard to put this stuff into words lol. All I know is that…

Absolutely loved writing this piece for @Nature about how you’re never too old to get a PhD. Meet some amazing people who made it happen in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Hey strangers! The amazing @lizlandau wrote a story for Nature magazine about people who finish their PhDs later in life, & I’m in it! It features some of my kickass skate park grad photoshoot pics, & I’m so humbled to be a part of something like this! nature.com/articles/d4158…

Provost Office salaries increased by over $300,000 from FY 19 to FY 24, per results of WVU’s administrative review. Multiple college-level reviews revealed understaffing and reinvestment needs following salary and operating budget reductions. thedaonline.com/news/wvucuts/a…

As an eloquent colleague just said: “This really kind of sums it all up. WVU patting themselves on the back for great workplace culture with evidence being a company awarding them for pushing their product down employees throats more than any other institution has.” Link below👇

I have 11 audible credits that I need to spend before tomorrow!!! Give me your favorite sci-fi books/series. I love hard/psychological Sci-fi. I’ve already read Expanse series, 3-body prob series, collapsing empire series (Scalzi), Children of Time series. The weirder the better!

Admin: Class sizes will NOT be increased! Fall semester schedule: Lol (Many 40-person calculus classes are weirdly located in 60-80 person classrooms for fall) (Ask me about the big renovation to a building that produced lots of 40-person calc classrooms that now sits empty)

@blowupscheme I have a sneaking suspicion that for my institution, it has to do with cutting costs associated with, you know, being a functional university.

I am giving a required evening exam in a building where all the exterior doors are locked. I have a TA posted at a door to let students in. Solid decision-making to start locking all building doors at absolutely ridiculous times EVEN WHEN THERE IS NIGHTTIME TESTING. Big 🧠 energy

The University spent $350k on roundtrip charter flights to Charleston, West Virginia, in 2023, expending nearly 40 times the cost to drive per trip. Read more: thedaonline.com/news/wvucuts/a…

I’ve been away from Twitter for a while but I dropped back in to complain about my work situation, so I wanted to also drop back in to say that I’m still sober (10 years, 5 months) but I’m back in the Rooms. It’s been several years but it’s time I get back to it. (10 year coin!)

I’m getting back in the Rooms, working those steps, and maybe eventually being a sponsor. Sober holidays are hard, but the other path leads to destruction (this is not an exaggeration). I’m not drinking/using with you today. #RecoveryPosse

Hardest times of my life have me feeling an assortment of feels that need to be examined and dissected, and nothing helps more than a community that knows exactly what I’m going through. It’s not a weakness, it’s being proactive and resourceful. Words are nothing w/o actions so
