"It demands a great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate." ~James Baldwin (The Fire Next Time)
@michaelrosenbum Just realized that your birthday is tomorrow. πππ
Happy Birthday to the sexy dude my sister named one of my boobs after. (The bigger one, so... congratulations? π)
@aaronpearl Yeah, SqueezeboxSarah was my name on the Great Big Sea message boards back before the band broke up (we all migrated here shortly after Twitter's birth). I think I use it in 1 or 2 other places, but I can't remember.
@SecretPocketBoo @deltawriter12 I like the ones that wait until the end to say something like "You must be a first-generation Latinx student attending Michigan State University to be considered."
@_danielle1992_ @Korsoto "We determined this scientifically by looking at his social media posts, because anyone who 'has a relationship' must slather it all over every public forum they engage with." πππ
@rrvirdi@audible_com@scottlynch78 I just finished this in the wee hours of this morning and LOVED IT. It was recommended to me by some classmates in my grad school Creative Writing program and I just got around to finally checking it out.
Breaking my Twitter silence because I have to scream to the world that I just finished #TheLiesofLockeLamora by @scottlynch78 and it was SO FUCKING GOOD. My only hope as a writer is that I will someday make readers feel the way books like this make me feel.
@hankgreen As a Composition/Argumentation prof, the Digital Literacy series has been my favorite way to kickstart a discussion with my students about evaluating sources and reading laterally.
@naominovik BUT WHAT IS THE STARYK KING'S NAME?!? THIS IS GOING TO DRIVE ME CRAZY.
(Literally just finished the book 3 minutes ago and noticed that my heart is pounding a little. Finished my second reading of Uprooted last week. As a writer, I feel inspired.)
@waynejwerner@AlanTudyk Now that's crazy talk! The NEXT next thing we'll hear is that all humans should be treated like humans regardless of what patch of dirt they were born on. Of all the silly things.
@billsquire Absolutely. The sky wasn't clear enough in my area, so all I saw was a hazy, vaguely crescent-shaped blob of light in the sky getting slowly and steadily smaller.
@sureduck @SnipesXRage @SNOI7Sousa @444wolt@adivawoman@NRA Yeah, I expected as much. But I'm too much of an idealist (a surprisingly devastating personality trait) to not try to make myself understood as well as possible, even by ignorant idiots.
