@brannoningram @mayanthileilani Woah, what an honor to be read, and be ready alongside Mayanthi's amazing book that I learned so much from. Thank you! You're right on -- banality and hyper visibility cannot exist without each other.

@LaurawherryR Let's not use "end" and "summer" in the same tweet just yet!

@SomersErin When my kids complain that we always have to do what I want to do as if buying groceries, picking up their toys, and folding their tiny little clothing were my only passions.

@girishdaswani The AAA conference and membership fees are significantly higher than any other organizations whose meetings I, or my spouse, have attended. Some of those have been larger, some have been smaller. It seems to me that the AAA could be doing better.

Live sighting of a New York lonely boy: 9 yo out late for a drum and lute show in downtown Manhattan. Unlike me, I'm guessing this isn't his first lute show.

Two notifications from kids' schools: 1) 6yo's entire school will be checked for lice; 2) 3yo's entire school may have to go into lockdown due to proximity to courthouse where Trump supporters may gather. A delightful mix of old and new parenting thrills.

Submit a proposal to the Religion & Economy Unit! It's the coolest club at the AAR.

@CarlySchuster @linoesilva @NayanikaM @BianetCastella1 I am touched that you are willing to read this work, yet again! Thank you. I'd love to hear what they have to say, and am happy to Zoom in in the middle of the night.
