Every semester, the first essay I have my students read is Deborah Miranda’s “Tuolumne” and then I revisit it through out the semester to illustrate structure and voice. #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay! Who are your favorite indigenous nonfiction writers to read + teach?.

Go Ramona @reelindian! My admiration for this amazing author and filmmaker is boundless. Congratulations on your National Book Award nomination.
Really thrilled for my friend Ramona Emerson, whose novel SHUTTER (just nominated for the NBA!) I had the pleasure of blurbing! And I think this might be one of the first crime novels ever nominated for the National Book Award. Congrats @reelindian and @soho_press

Trying to finish an essay examining the complicated feelings associated with having my first child go off to college and then we argue about how many shoes she plans to take - obliterating all sentimentality. Perfect example of my needing time to process before writing about it.

Great conversation about how colonialism presents itself in higher education.
Starting in 2 hours! The next discussion in our Knowledge Equity Series will examine how systems of research and education still reflect the structures of colonialism. There's still time to register to join live or receive a link to the recording!

The only time I miss my hour long commute in Austin’s traffic hellscape are days like this when Beyoncé’s #Renaissance is released and I want to spend the first full hour of my day listening in my tiny car.

I am looking forward to teaching next Thursday's workshop on Writing about Place for the Phoenix Writers Network. It is always interesting to see the different ways writers approach places they are familiar with versus places they are unfamiliar with.

I was today years old when I learned there are plant species classified as pioneers and colonizers. Colonizing liverworts! They show up when land is barren, not already occupied, like after a volcanic eruption.#WIPResearch.
