A tree fell on my house during Hurricane Beryl. My love Kortnee and I have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds for the significant deductible our insurance company is charging. Any support you could provide is greatly appreciated!

@kmfaho Thanks @kmfaho! Got here last August after landing a job at SHSU. I'm quite bad at social media stuff, so I didn't update my info until this week.

If you're able, consider enrolling in the NIH clinical trial trying to ID antibodies to SARS-CoV-2. I just sent in my email. https://t.co/WsEZHTS171

This is a good attitude. Rarely does the swapping of one person for another change the system substantially. I wish more protestors in the US would remember this.

Iraq PM resignation would only be 'first step', protesters say @AJENews https://t.co/GbjJWDR1PD

I agree with the facts, more or less, but not the diagnosis. Institutions need to be questioned as much as outsiders. The left may not articulate how movements write laws, but the Center hasn't answered how to make institutions democratic either. https://t.co/izeFQGRPAp

This situation in Bolivia is disturbing. Morales stepped down because of the actions of the military, not because the people of his country desired it. We need more information about who else organized or supported the coup. https://t.co/cBkcubbQzc

As the impeachment proceedings go forward, it is important all sides ask the same question: what is most conducive to maintaining a healthy democracy? Both parties have already made mistakes in the name of partisanship (though not equal-sized ones). This must change.

These steps will save money, but they won't fix the problem of academia shrinking. They may increase the process. If the school sees you saving money like this, they might just take the money for themselves and force you to continue paying adjuncts less https://t.co/XY273glKZQ

I've been thinking it would be valuable for a public figure to speak in support of listening to alternative views. It might prevent some of the partisanship I see in the public sphere. Solving the existential problems we face requires gaining tractability. Thoughts?

More and more I've been feeling that achieving some of my personal and professional goals will require me to have more of a social media presence. I've decided I'm going to post more consistently my thoughts on both this platform and Facebook (maybe others in the future).
