@aprildunford Loved your talk at #industry19 today, and you and Common were hilarious!

A thing I wish I knew about Thoreau as a teenager was that his mother brought him sandwiches and Walden Pond was on her property. I think I might have made some different life choices had I understood that.

In my intro stats class today, I told students the median is a ”resistant” measure of a distribution’s center & is often preferred to the mean in the case of salary data, etc. I jokingly referenced this meme and in the 15 mins’ break they had, a student created this MASTERPIECE!

Ahem! Hi!

Dear NonNatives 2019 edition:

Nothing is your spirit animal. Not a person, place or thing. NOTHING is your spirit animal. YOU DO NOT GET ONE. Spirit animals derive from Anishinaabe and other Indigenous Nations' deeply held religious beliefs.

Senator Cornyn: I'm a climate scientist at Texas A&M. I'd be happy to explain why, even though it's summer, July's temperatures were extreme — and how we know humans are responsible. I'd be happy to put together a briefing for and/or your staff.

I spent today with a man whose mom saved the July 21, 1969 Chicago Daily News for the moon landing coverage. (Column coming tomorrow.) It also contained this op-ed. 50 years ago. Unbelievable.

#Austin, we have an #owlet! This is a great opp for #MindfulnessMonday: Respect + Space, plz! Athena has gone from egg-sitter to brooding mama. It's a vulnerable time for her & the owlet(s) as she begins to leave the nest while keeping very close + continuous watch. 📷 Bill Boyd

Favorite success story: these wonderful brothers were so close to graduation but missed it because of just a couple courses and SOLs. Both were able to graduate @HCS_HAALC! Changing whole families. @TheMidAtlanticEdge #OurEdge
