Thank you Judge Jackson and Senator Booker. I’m pinning this because we and our country need to honor the joy of this and the stories of countless others it represents every damn day.

Sen. @CoryBooker to Judge Jackson: "I'm not letting anybody in the Senate steal my joy...Don't worry, my sister. Don't worry. God has got you. How do I know that? Because you're here and I know what it's taken for you to sit in that seat."

Here is why Ireland is really the #HomeofHalloween and how the @GlobalIrish took Hallowe'en traditions around the world with them

@kevinrmcclure That’s like $2.50 better than a free t-shirt *if* it’s a decent umbrella.

@kevinrmcclure I haven’t had French onion dip in ages. I thought it was SO fancy the first time I had it (NYE 79➡️80) because my mom served it in the chip-n-dip we never used and, well, because it was French!

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Today marks 12 YEARS since the last increase in the federal minimum wage. Is it really a shock that a full-time worker making minimum wage in 2021 can’t afford rent ANYWHERE in the U.S.? It's time to end starvation wages and raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

[Angela Chaisson @angelawya]

Can we stop calling them vaccine passports, call them immunization records, and point out that we all already have them? None of this is new 🤦🏼‍♀️

[Associate Deans @ass_deans]

Not everything we do at the college is politics, most of it is to cover up the politics we don’t want you to see.

#Elsa becomes the season's first hurricane on July 2, the earliest first hurricane since 2012. This chart shows the dates of first hurricane formation over the past 50 years (1972-2021) as well as the trend.

@Microsoft365 #Seaford please!

[Andrew J Ryder @ProfAndrewRyder]

@kevinrmcclure My guess is lots of factors are at play. As a long ago RA and not so long ago ResLife pro, I’m imagining their last year-plus for has been especially hard. And their proximity to other functional areas may reveal only slightly more desirable options.

[Andrew J Ryder @ProfAndrewRyder]

@kevinrmcclure As the colleague who suggested the lack of interactions with mentors may play a role, I’d add my hunch that many applicants decide to pursue higher ed later likely after the nudge to consider the field by a mentor.

And you thought "Taking A Knee" was too much!?!
