My many stages of academic writing include mapping out key points on sticky notes that I can then move around to assemble threads of arguments; write things out (partially) on paper, and then bring them onto the computer screen. Anyone else does this micro-arranging?

I’m no scholar of US history, but the early history of #abortion as a regular medical practice & the later politicisation of anti-abortion to protect white Protestant (men’s) privilege and resources, strike a chord as I’m way too familiar with… https://t.co/D8DnPlmrdY

A Chinese college student’s poem “Kyiv” about the #UkraineRussiaWar. The poet appears to speak from the stance of the Ukrainians and criticize the spectators who joke about the war. More in my interview by @lilkuo in @washingtonpost - https://t.co/whP6HAp3HH
