@KimberleyS121 It's hot, y'all.

[Lyndsey Gilpin @lyndseygilpin]

We're all going to have to get used to covering/thinking about multiple disasters and injustices at once, connecting dots between them while getting info out to people. It's overwhelming.

...y'all know what would help with all this tho: Funding local and regional journalism.

I love this word and hate that it has no place in accessible writing.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

'Litotes' is a double negative (such as "not unaware" or "not inaccurate") that expresses a positive through understatement.

And now this! Students, afraid of being alone in quarantine dorms, are bypassing U testing by going to local urgent care centers so they can quarantine in their sororities, where, presumably, they won't feel so isolated. We did this. It's our fault.

"No more will we tolerate the injustice in this country the time for change is now and we can’t wait any longer #BlackLivesMatter," sophomore Mississippi State safety Shawn Preston Jr. tweeted. https://t.co/WIyaouG9zb

As if the physical symptoms weren't enough—students are feeling guilty, isolated, and incredibly vulnerable. I hate it for them.

Just got an email from a student _apologizing to me_ for getting Coronavirus. "I'm so sorry for the bad timing. . . it hurts to move," they said, "but I'll try to make it to class." They explained that getting it was unavoidable; "My friends are dropping like flies," they wrote.

Heads up, y'all: This doesn't work in comps.

@activisthistory The collective noun is "academy."

@xhimichka It's almost as bad when they love your field . . . and think they know it as well as you do. Signed, Historian

@willkuby It's infuriating. We lose all of our looseness—which includes (sometimes) funny asides we didn't intend on bringing up—and gain only a forced stiffness that requires a retake because we say "umm, right, so . . .".

[Jason Hauser @JasonHauser]

@USHouseHistory I shant touch that.

[Jason Hauser @JasonHauser]

@foodwishes For a wild second, I thought you'd gone back into the industry.

It's gonna be hard to recast the "America First!" xenophobe as an enlightened and culturally sensitive citizen of the world. But you've fought dumber battles, so have at it.

[Dinesh D'Souza @DineshDSouza]

I’m highly amused to see supposedly sophisticated media types snickering at @realdonaldtrump for saying “Thighland.” These faux-sophisticates don’t realize Trump’s way of saying it is right. “Tai-land” is the crude lingo of people who have never been to “Thighland”

[American Society for Environmental History @ASEH_org]

Exciting announcement!

The ASEH is coordinating virtual teaching exchanges for the fall. If you would like to have another historian give a guest lecture in your class in exchange for your guest lecture in their class, shoot us a DM!

What’s considered trashy if you're poor, but classy if you're rich?

[Jason Hauser @JasonHauser]

You forgot to capitalize "Indigenous."
