@SYSKPodcast Funnily enough, some decades ago (and maybe still), their opponents would chant "what the hell's a Hoya?", the answer to which was, of course, "Yep." (because "hoya" means "what"...)

[Micah Ingalls @IngallsMicah]

@SYSKPodcast Hoya Saxa! The Georgetown call comes from the Greek and Latin phrase meaning, "What rock!" in reference to the determination and indefatigability of the Georgetown teams. So, not a plant or a bulldog (though the latter is their mascot).

It is my great honor to share my contribution to the book chapter: "The Role of Emotions in resistance movements against land and resource grabs."

I am so thankful to Dr. Alice Beban for co-authoring the book. I thank my former academic advisor Prof. And…https://t.co/n8lu8gduwp

Proud of my Alma Mater.

[David French @DavidAFrench]

Cornell, Vanderbilt, and Stanford take a stand.

Dozens of Harvard faculty members mobilize for academic freedom.

Almost 100 universities and/or systems sign a version of the Chicago statement.

The extremes are mobilized, but the center can hold: https://t.co/TJAR45AEwc

Wangari Maathai was the first female professor in Kenya and the first African woman to be awarded the #NobelPeacePrize.

Born on this day, she was a committed environmentalist and founded the Green Belt Movement, which led to the planting of millions of trees.

Ok, @DavidAFrench, I pitched to @whignewtons to hear (legal, cultural) thoughts on the TV series Justified. I'll sweeten the deal: 23 July will be the @baseballhall Induction Weekend and start of our blueberry season. Offering a free room at Ingalls Blueberry Hill in Cooperstown.

A proposed test for diagnosing when your politics is threatening to become your religion:

If you learn someone shares your faith but not your politics, and you immediately distrust their faith, then your politics might be displacing your religion.

[Micah Ingalls @IngallsMicah]

@NancyAFrench @DavidAFrench Congratulations! You are both an inspiration on many levels. Keep up the good work! The world is a better place for it.

[Micah Ingalls @IngallsMicah]

@whignewtons Not at all! But if you are really feeling contrite you can make it up to us by granting a boon: next AO podcast gives us your and David's (assuming you invite him again as a guest) take on the show Justified.
