@JenSeniorNY @TheAtlantic Welp, might as well clear the space on your shelf now for next year's Pulitzer. Most incredible, moving, and ultimately inspiring thing I've read this year. What a gift your writing is to us all.

@mattyglesias What polls? Last poll from Emerson today Gideon is +6 (48-42 Gideon, with the 6% of other ranked choice candidates breaking 5-1 for Gideon). Few underdecided, first poll in a week. For some reason 538 has it wrong at their site. Full results here: https://t.co/MGPxssMYFk

Wow.
Seems like almost every time I read something from @MisterMinor I am momentarily breathless, stunned, still. Then my mind begins pondering, questioning, reflecting. Thank you, @MisterMinor, for helping me become a better teacher, a better person. https://t.co/elsgBKnVfh

@backstreetsmag Orchestra Left Row K $500 each plus fees

[Brenda Power @brendapower]

@copaceticinva @backstreetsmag $500 each on November 1. I picked a Wednesday in a non-holiday week thinking that might be a less popular date.

[Brenda Power @brendapower]

@backstreetsmag I did! Got a code, already had my favorite date queued up, and got excellent seats in the 10th row.

@Franki22 loved that rant about textbooks - the price and "bundles" are an incredible racket and add so much to college costs!
