@JuliaTicona1 @ftripodi I remember hearing that fatalistic narrative all through my years in coursework, too. Thanks, @JuliaTicona1 and @ftripodi, for ensuring that it couldn't survive to the next generation.

So honored at the opportunity to talk with the insightful, energetic @USofDisaster on COVID-Calls this morning!

WEB Du Bois, speaking for every historical sociologist

@jeffguhin I'd recommend Glo, and trying several different instructors to see whose style resonates for you. Personal recs: Jason Crandell would be great to start with (very precise cues!), and Kathryn Budig if you want a faster-paced practice later on.

[ChristinaSimko @ChristinaSimko]

@JuliaTicona1 Congratulations, Julia! So happy to see this book enter the world.

[ChristinaSimko @ChristinaSimko]

@yanareads @Columbia Congratulations, Yana! We’ll miss you!

@timr100 I had a rough time after Pfizer #2, but the Moderna boost was next-level. Still so grateful.
