"The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it." (Flannery O'Connor)

Today one of my students asked me if I was playing Mozart and Beethoven against my stomach for the baby to listen to, and I said: “No, mostly I play him Fleetwood Mac and Elton John.”

@jamiebgolden When I was in 6th grade, my dad was recording one of my basketball games and when they subbed me in as point guard, you can audibly hear my mom say: “Oh gosh, they don’t want to do that. That’s a bad idea.”

Also: “You can’t wear yellow. You just can’t.”

Of all the things I’ve taught my students over the years, I can say almost without a doubt that they are the most thankful for now knowing how to dual screen.

@jamiebgolden Firekeeper’s Daughter, far and away the best I read this year

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@sikivi That’s my favorite punctuation mark; I use it far too often

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@sikivi Do you straight up shut them down? Because that might OR MIGHT NOT be what I do. Lol.

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@mattnightingale Yaa Gyasi for SURE. Homegoing is incredible.

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@TheGrantHartley I just listened to The Making of Biblical Womanhood and thought it was pretty fascinating.

@ebruenig My brother is miles cooler than me, but he always told people that I was the smart one, so I guess that checks out 😂

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@sikivi Glad to hear that— I’d subscribed but hadn’t listened yet

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@TheGrantHartley I have these from Amazon and love them— they were like $25-30 so I don’t feel bad if I lose them. Currently $35 with a 20% off clickable coupon. I actually have two sets because I (shocker) lost one set for approximately 7 months and then found them.

EVERY FLAG HAS THE GREAT BRITAIN FLAG IN IT, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

Collectively, Dillon and I had over 20 roommates in college. Documenting here because it took us probably twenty minutes to get to that number 😂

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@NYPLRecommends PLEASE read it, it’s so good. And I’ve read I’m Not Dying, but not the other two; yay for new books to check out!

BLUEY IS LIFE

[Joy Beth @JBsTwoCents]

I want a kid just so I can understand why Bluey is so good

Packing for vacay: a bag for books and a bag for clothing.

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@sikivi As it should be

@jamiebgolden (And the immediate follow-up second try, because I can’t help myself 😂) I’m an enneagram 5 and that’s why I’m so mad at me.

[Alison Lowrey @AlisonLowrey]

@jamiebgolden I’m an enneagram 5 and that’s why I am so happy.
