Some days, I’m jealous of folks that live in ignorance of a multitude of complex variables, distilling life down to binary decisions. But then I’m watching my daughter play and a push alert reminds me of the danger of that reality which got us here, in this oppressive space.

Hi. I’m Adam and my pronouns are he/him. I’m wearing a camo North Georgia hat, a blue t-shirt with a 1998 Chevy Silverado on it (that’s the last of the Old Body Style) and my middle finger is raised to anyone who finds the inclusion of individuals with disabilities ā€œfunny.ā€

Just put on my first pair of Chacos. Immediately decided I’m not intelligent enough for this life. #PullWhichStrapWhenNow?

Just my annual reminder that teachers shouldn’t have to crowd source their dadgum classroom resources. #FundPublicEducation

Some of y’all are all #inclusive until you hear a rural Southern accent and then you turn all ā€œhahaā€ and ā€œhee hawā€ and get real proud of your jokes. Just remember, ā€œAn educator in a system of oppression is either a revolutionary or an oppressor.ā€ -Bennett Jr.

I ain’t paying for that little check mark so y’all better think long and hard over whether this is me or some other catfish wielding hillbilly academic tweeting about protecting public education and quoting Freire and hooks.

Y’all, we got to quit acting like rural areas are wastelands and saying junk like, ā€œWhy would anyone ever live there?ā€ This disempowers communities, devalues these places, and plants the seeds of inequity.

Myles Horton encouraged us to meet folks where they are, hold tight to what ought to be, and consider what folks ā€œcan become.ā€ Our current rhetoric is mostly incapable of describing folks in the future tense…but the future is all we got left. #EducateDontHate

I just put on my fifth different color pocket tee in 5 days and my wife looked me dead in the eyes and said, ā€œCongratulations, honey, on collecting all the Hillbilly Infinity Tees.ā€

Imagine a paradise where you and your children have all reached singularity in foot size. All socks are the same size, same color, matched freely and whimsically. The gnashing of teeth brought about by the morning sock pursuit is no more. #Bliss

Watching the academy respond in mostly pedagogical-paralyzing fear to ChatGPT tells you about all you need to know as to why we can’t have nice things.

If you ever wonder what it is like to be a professor, just observe the cicadas. It takes 17 years to get there, then you just make a bunch of racket until you get so tired you die.

I don’t give a fat rat about JD’s Yale degree. I want to know what’s inside his Country Crock containers. If it ain’t soup beans and/or an assortment of various nuts, bolts, and screws, I don’t want to hear another word about Appalachia.
