Stickers with: “In this office, we: put writing first on our to-do list, say no to shit we hate, make our circles into horseshoes, burn shit down, get shit done, lift while we climb”

Crashed their writing workshop (during the lunch break!) to say hello to two of my academic idols, @mirya.bsky.social and @cwolbrecht.bsky.social! We should have gotten a picture, but I did come away with some #MHAWS swag.

Forever grateful for their examples of lifting while climbing.

My CV mentions a “guest contributor” role on a specific #MHAWS Newsletter which if you look it up is a cocktail recipe.

I wrote some books, here’s how Satisficing success

If you are #writing a #book or even considering writing a book, check out @mirya.bsky.social latest #MHAWS newsletter post “I wrote some books, here’s how.” A must read especially in a world full of distractions and atrocities. Stay focused and get support to keep you on target #polisky #academia

I need to blog again more consistently and then I’ll consider writing a newsletter. I love #MHAWS and learn so much from what you both write all the time.

Every time a new #MHAWS comes out I feel like putting on a political scientist cape so I can go to one of their conferences and buy @mirya.bsky.social a drink

I actually love this idea. 🚕

I would volunteer as keeper of said meter and take it into every meeting and keep at tally.💸💸💸

(But seriously, WHERE can I get something like this?!?!

I feel it’s something Mirya Holman —is she on Bsky?— would suggest in her #MHAWS holiday gift guide)

Big thanks, real big thanks to @mirya.bsky.social for the #MHAWS newsletters. I share these with every new academia entrant I cross paths with, especially fellow women.

Another amazing #MHAWS from @mirya.bsky.social today. So important to "find your people", I love my org econ community and can't imagine doing this work without them. Though sometimes I am tempted to impersonate a political scientist to show up at one of Mirya's happy hours or workshops. 🥸

Yep - #MHAWS doesn't miss

The latest #MHAWS may be my favorite to date. We need community now more than ever, and @mirya.bsky.social gives some 🔥 advice about how to build and sustain it. (Spoiler: It’s hard but SO WORTH IT.)

There were days where #MHAWS singlehandedly got me through graduate school.

#MHAWS is a must! Thank you @mirya.bsky.social !

#MHAWS basically got me through my PhD, so it seems only fitting that it should be my first Bluesky post 🙋🏽‍♀️

I don't know that I recommend any of this. I guess the most important advice (prob from #MHAWS) is to figure out how your brain works and do whatever tends to that.

Can you use a testimonial? An edition of #MHAWS arrived just at the right time where I had been stewing in imposter/anxiety/who the f* knows what, but I felt like I could NOT get my shit together.

It sincerely helped me gather the shreds of my motivation back and crank on my prospectus :-)

I think @prof_mirya may have nailed it with this week's #MHAWS "What's Your Inner (Accountability) Care Bear?" quiz. I am a Cheer Bear.

"The Cheer Bear likes to win – like, a lot. Winning = meeting goals. Losing = not meeting goals"...

Hey #MHAWS peeps! I've compiled some of my semester planning resources for you! They'll help you do what @prof_mirya suggests this week! Check them out here: https://www.leannecpowner.com/pages/resources.html

Nailing my just-got-back-from-a-conference #MHAWS plan for this morning.

As you're making your #MHAWS plan/to-do list for the week, don't forget:

Abstracts for #PaCSS2019 are DUE TOMORROW, JUNE 10! Submit your work and come join us at the 2nd annual conference on Politics and Computational Social Science in August....

Any tips for things to remember/do in the few days before PhD submission?! I'm not far off now and hoping to make it as painless as possible, whilst not forgetting anything and trying to stay hydrated! #MHAWS #PhDchat

Commitment to my art is getting up at 6am so I can turn my regression table into a dot-whisker plot before my talk today. #PhDChat #MHAWS

Reading today's #MHAWS email is my prize for finishing my morning tasks today.

I’m a bit behind on my #MHAWS goals this week — I underestimated the difficulty of my task and other pressures on my time. BUT IT’S OKAY: these things happen. I’ve been working hard, making good progress, and my long term plan gives me time to recover.

I’ll also note that yesterday’s self-care was scheduled into my #MHAWS plan for the week, allowing me to enjoy it without feeling guilty

(not that I should ever feel guilty for making time to take care of my health, but, you know 🤷‍♀️)

...And don’t worry, I have this chunked out into specific tasks tied to specific blocks of time each day. #MHAWS
