Obligatory “I voted!” Post. 😃 I’m really interested to review the data when it starts rolling in tonight. I think what I’m most excited about is that this will be my daughter’s first time voting. 😃😃😃😃😃 #vote #elections #virginia #redistricting
In my HIS 112 World History class today I did an activity that involved showing some video clips without sound. One was from Romy & Michelle’s High School Reunion. Students asked when it came out. I looked it up on IMDb. 1997. Oof… #millennial #movies #the90s #college #history
Happy Pi Day from a History Professor 🥧 #PiDay #3point14 Thinking ahead to Cheesecake Day on July 30th! The Golden Girls will approve.
Saw the new Wuthering Heights movie. It sucks. Nothing like the book. I’m convinced the director has never actually read it. #WutheringHeights #book #Literature #readthebook #movie #moviereview
Crocheted Joxer from Xena Warrior Princess
My coworker gave me a late Christmas Gift she had ordered from Etsy that just arrived. It’s Joxer the Mighty! He will go well with my Xena and Gabrielle. I love it! #xena #television #crochet #christmasgift #joxer
I remember when having Prime Video meant there were ZERO commercials. 🤨
Super excited to be invited to talk about the cultural phenomenon that is Xena! I’m looking forward to contributing to the awesomeness of the first Williamsburg ComicCon this March! #xena #xenawarriorprincess #comiccon #williamsburg #popculture
Devil’s Gate?
Love it!
Last night Parker and I saw Fantastic Four for an early fan event. It was a great movie! Glad to see Marvel’s First Family in the MCU after being absent for so many years! #marvel #fantasticfour #amctheaters #mcu
For Parker’s 15th birthday today we saw an early screening of Superman at AMC in Hampton! (And we dressed appropriately 😂) Go see it on Thursday, y’all! It’s fantastic! #birthday #superman #movie #superhero #comics
Just voted in Virginia’s Democratic primary! I was only number 12 at 9:50. Apparently the first voter didn’t show up until 8 when the polls opened at 6. I hope more people exercise their right to vote today! #virginia #vote #primaryelection #democrat #republican #election #civicduty
Posted a TikTok about movies I watched as a kid in the 80s. Anyone else remember “The Peanut Butter Solution?” Some of these I should NOT have been watching 😂 #movies #80s #1980s #childhood
Apparently you get a community guidelines violation on TikTok if you call someone a dumbass. Well, in my defense, the person was a dumbass. 🤷♂️ #tiktok #socialmedia
Photo from 1997 of the Hercules character at Universal Studios
Photo with Kevin Sorbo from Hercules
Me with the fake Hercules in 1997 at Universal Studios Florida and me with the real Hercules in 2025 at Lexington Comic Con. We found the old pic while cleaning out my mom’s attic. I hope I can find the one with Xena, too! #Hercules #UniversalStudios #Xena #KevinSorbo
All healed now. Fortunately it wasn’t that bad of a burn. 👍 The worst part was that my colleagues devoured the bacon, and I didn’t get any! 😂
It’s graduation time! Had a great pre-commencement get together with my colleagues at the new Starbucks, and I was able to get a few selfies with some great students. 😀 Happy Graduation, everyone! #community #communitycollege #professor #history #graduation #college
Here’s the live stream from tonight’s first commencement ceremony. Check out the 41:20 time stamp… Can’t say I’ve ever had a student approach me on stage to shake my hand and say thanks. Totally makes the job worth it. 😀 #communitycollege #Graduation www.youtube.com/live/0NaJAdZ...
It’s Educator Appreciation Week, and yesterday was National Teachers’ Day! I made breakfast for folks on campus. Haven’t done that in years. I did burn myself with bacon grease… WHOOPS! But it was totally worth it! 😂 #communitycollege #teacher #professor #history #breakfast #teacherappreciationweek
Dr. Strange and Wiccan cosplays
Back at GalaxyCon Richmond in March, Parker and I had a photo shoot done in our Dr. Strange and Wiccan cosplays. I think it turned out pretty well! Thanks to Bryant Cox Photography for the shot and editing! #comiccon #galaxycon #cosplay #marvel #drstrange #wiccan
As I begin to wrap up my 20th year in education, this honor was a nice touch. I appreciate all those who have helped me get to this point in my career!
I had the privilege of attending the American Association of Community Colleges conference this week. In the closing session I was honored as a Dale P. Parnell Distinguished Faculty member. #teacher #professor #history #communitycollege #college #highered #award
I have the best coworkers! One grabbed me a Bruce Campbell autograph this weekend at Astronomicon! Now I just have to meet him in person so he can sign my Xena and Hercules posters. 😀 #xena #hercules #autolycus #brucecampbell #celebrity #autograph
I totally forgot to post more pics from GalaxyCon last weekend! I was fortunate to meet Mick Foley, who signed my ATLA poster, and Joey Fatone. More pics to come. #galaxycon #galaxyconrichmond #comiccon #comics #wrestling #mickfoley #joeyfatone #nsync #avatarthelastairbender
Day 2 of GalaxyCon was fantastic! #Xenomorph Warrior Princess made an appearance, & Parker dressed as #Wiccan. I met Alex Kingsto, Utkarsh Ambudkar, and Weird Al! Looking forward to day 3! #doctorwho #riversong #avatar #avatarthelastairbender #ghosts #xena #alien #weirdal
My #Xena panel at #GalaxyCon went great! I can’t wait to do another one! One participant, who wore a shirt proclaiming “It’s a Xena Thing” said she was only planning to come Fri to Sun, but added today solely to come to my panel! 🥰 #XenaWarriorPrincess #Xenites #Cosplay
About to see the Golden Girls: The Laughs Continue in Norfolk at Chrysler Hall. I hope it’s good! 😀 #goldengirls #goldengirlsforever #livetheatre #comedy #80sTV
Parker and I are in an early screening for Death of a Unicorn up in Tysons Corner. Haven’t been up this way in a good while! #movies #amctheaters #deathofaunicorn
One of my students ordered door dash during class this morning. We live in BFE. I didn’t know we had door dash! 😂 I know I should probably be offended or upset, but I’m actually a little amused. #college #communitycollege #doordash #historyclass #getmesomenexttime
My son and I are on the way to Lexington, KY for the #comiccon there. He asked if we could drive 20 minutes out of the way to a Walmart to meet an employee he follows on Instagram. So where are we? Ashland Walmart looking for Anne and Jared. #walmart #parenting #kids #teenager
