Despite growing up in metro Detroit, I didn't know about the city's lost Indigenous landscape until a chance connection with a Thomas Hardy short story. Thank you @yesmagazine for sharing my essay on Detroit's burial mounds and brownfields.

Loved reading @fontanamoore 's new book on mobile-mindful learning! This is the book I wish I had read before I did my Ph.D. - so many takeaways for research and teaching!

So this arrived today from @CUPAcademic: my author copies of E. M. Forster and Music

[Anna West @annawestwrites]

Yesterday was Thomas Hardy's birthday, and he's got me thinking about animals again. Cows in Tess, specifically, and what my dairy farmer grandpa would have thought about his vegan granddaughter.

My book Thomas Hardy and Animals is now out in paperback!

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

“Defund” means that Black & Brown communities are asking for the same budget priorities that White communities have already created for themselves: schooling > police,etc.

People asked in other ways, but were always told “No, how do you pay for it?”

So they found the line item.

[Rashida Tlaib @RashidaTlaib]

I represent the 3rd poorest congressional district in the country. Instead of tear gas & billions in militarizing police, we need to address poverty & inequity in education. Right now, Black children went to court begging for the right to literacy.

[Social Security Works ❌👑 @SSWorks]

.@AOC is right. The only way to end the unrest is to end the root cause: oppression.
