I didn’t take many pictures, but I enjoyed myself at #NCTE22… I needed to be with my friends again! I’m usually quite the #introvert, but I have to be “on” at #conferences in ways that can sometimes be draining. I’ve found, though, that hanging with #friends keeps me going!

The other is a pic of me and some folx I couldn’t do #academia without!
