@CM_Pina I always took the metro to DCA. It’s nicer than the T, and the blue line has a stop at the airport. Having luggage with me wasn’t really an issue. I avoided Dulles because it was further away from where I lived. 😅

@tamaramintn Honestly I just go here and flick through palettes until one looks nice to me. https://t.co/dOJUUu3NoI 😅

Picking a color scheme is one of my favorite parts of presentation-making. It's just so nice to see how much more coherent the story looks when everything matches.

I'm working from home, it smells like spring outside, and I'm having flashbacks to last March. It's like time hasn't passed except I'm significantly more exhausted.

@MargBrunWrites I don’t remember Hovind specifically but that sounds very familiar. I might go look at his stuff, but it’ll probably just be anger-inducing for me.

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

@MargBrunWrites So it's kind of a double-edged sword - the evolution stuff put the focus on our potential victimhood, not on any ways we were complicit in the victimization of others.

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

@MargBrunWrites I think a lot of distrust of science/scientists in homeschooled circles can be traced back to those teachings that implied that scientists ignored or actively covered up evidence that the earth was created 6,000 years ago.

FULL AMANDA GORMAN POEM:

“We will raise this wounded world into a wondrous one ... There is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it.”

The 22-year-old is the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history: https://t.co/SIPU57hEKH

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

I think I'm going to rewatch @TheAmandaGorman's poem again. Maybe multiple times. Wow.

[Senator Mitt Romney @SenatorRomney]

What happened at the U.S. Capitol today was an insurrection, incited by the President of the United States. https://t.co/NojKm86sZ2

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Let’s just be clear about something: The reason the Capitol police were slow to respond is because they gave these white people the benefit of the doubt and treated it like a joke. Their reaction isn’t the same because they see black people as a threat that needs to be eliminated

[Ryan Phillips @RumorsandRants]

The White House is in touch with some of the armed insurrectionists at the Capitol. Totally normal.

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

Hey, did you hear about the president’s new mob boss-like phone call yet?

🚨In my final piece of 2020, I look ahead to Pandemic Year 2--the vaccination rollout, how the virus will react, the lingering societal scars, and the larger lessons we must learn (but risk forgetting) from this horrendous year. 1/

A) Ugh. B) That dissertation sounds super cool and like important work. C) Kiddo??? What sort of way is that to talk to any adult person?

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm thankful that I only set my smoke alarm off once. 😂

[Joia Miller @Joyza]

As someone who is spending Thanksgiving far away from my family, this frustrates me a lot. =/
