This nation has always been and will always be multilingual. Official languages are languages of oppression.

@taoleighgoffe @doubledaybooks @LaboratoryDark Oh my goodness, what an honor! I've started reading your book, and it's so deeply inspiring and moving to me. I remember your suggestion to write the acknowledgements early in my dissertation - that was a game changer for me! Thank you so so much 🙏🙏🙏

Different day, same headline opening: "Trump claims, without citing any evidence..."

The news after the latest school shooting focuses on the degree of preparedness for what should be unthinkable tragedy.

We praise the schools for the effectiveness of their shooter drills. The second grader who called 911.

Our children deserve better than this.

In a cruel twist of fate, my coffee machine is broken on morning 1/15 of solo parenting after the baby was up half the night. November just keeps getting better and better! 🙃

4. Maybe we don't have to see career and kids in an all-or-nothing binary. There is more to life than being a parent, and there is more to life than work. Maybe we can think collaboratively and creatively about how to build rich lives for ourselves AND and WITH our children.

3. Parenthood is hard, but it is also a joy. A beautiful and transformative experience. It deserves to be celebrated and supported.
