I wrote an #MHAWS about the things I'm trying to do as I change institutions, including
- invest in systems
- invest in relationships
- invest in myself

Wednesday Vibes: Improvements to this Newsletter 👏, Immigration Book Recommendations📚, and One Thing You Might Not Know About TRAC 🤫

Welcome back from what I hope was a relaxing (and safe) July 4 holiday. I want to share three things with you today. And it’s really worth reading to the end, because the final note is a fascinating highlight about TRAC you might not already know. But first, a few housekeeping items that illustrate some ways that I’m planning on growing this newsletter between now and the rest of the year, especially through more conversations with you.

So, I haven't been on Mastodon for awhile. Are political scientists still using Mastodon or have they largely migrated over to Bluesky? And why does no one in academia seem to use Post?! Which is clearly the best of these platforms in my view.
