Indeed. Looking through this perfect thread kicked off by the dictionary gurus, I am quite guilty of tsundoku, I delight in soubhiyé whenever I can, I could do with some apapachar, and the world would be a better place with more sisu, a Finnish word that the Ukrainians exemplify. https://twitter.com/dfallik/status/1631064947198181378

Oh! I completely forgot to profusely thank my teaching mentor @ichinoy for nominating me for this award. His incredible journalism history course I took as an undergrad put me on this academic path, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

As a new semester begins, I am grateful to @UMDGradSchool for recognizing my work as an instructor of record.

It’s been a privilege to teach two core courses @merrillcollege, and I now welcome the exciting challenge of teaching an upper level seminar called Women in the Media!

data journalism really is sometimes spending 24 hrs agonizing over a weird format error + discovering that the culprit was a few "E"s lodged between some numbers, then getting so excited about solving the problem that you want to tell every passerby but they're just like, "cool"
