Thread of photos from families in each quartile of income in the world: first photo is from the poorest 25%, last photo is richest 25%.
Based on these photos, which income bracket are you in?
First up: Toilets

In my Latin American borders seminar, I asked my students to create "poetic midterms" inspired by @MigrantScribble's "Intergalactic Travels" that responded to the question "what is a border?" I'm proud to share some of their incredible work!

@danshipper Have never enjoyed biographical writing more

Marrying a stutterer changed my life.

Our first date was difficult. I'd forgotten he'd written the word "stutterer" somewhere in his Bumble profile.

We met at the base of a local hike — just as storm clouds were rolling in.

It took at least a minute for him to say "Hello."

I’m so proud of and excited for my brilliant colleague, @oliviamlott, for this incredible achievement! It’s so well deserved!

Just thinking about how the United States could have been the world leader in 5G technology instead of China if we had just given *one guy* a green card when he needed one

@Ry3Dunn There’s only one you brave enough to be you, that’s as original as it gets

[Bryan Boucher @bryanhboucher]

My feed is 80% follow recs + ads. I already follow 60% more accts than I’d like.

Of the 20% real tweets in my feed, a big share follow the same formula, 🧵’s, etc. Originality getting scarcer. I wish Twitter would become more like its old self instead of like everything else.

[Bryan Boucher @bryanhboucher]

@Ry3Dunn would I ever? I’m aghast

[Bryan Boucher @bryanhboucher]

it’s a kind-of-funny point, but it’s not unique to boomers, and it’s a pitfall on most social platforms

bad media consumption habits are everywhere

[Pat Castaldo @PatC]

The boomers seem to love Facebook because it's a newspaper about themselves where they also get to write a letter to the editor for every single article published.

go check out my cousin’s app - super thoughtful design and it’s one you’ll use repeatedly. not one of those utilities you download and never touch again.

[Adam O'Kane @adamokane]

my camera roll is a mess. tried a bunch of cleanup apps, none felt right, so I made Swipewipe (iOS only)

it has you go through your photos, month-by-month, and swipe left to delete and right to keep. then the month gets crossed out. that's about it!

so proud of @TessRenker!!

[Tess Renker @TessRenker]

I'm happy to share that my article on contestations of postmemory in recent Latin American literature is out in Chasqui! I look at "novels" by José Carlos Agüero, @ambliopia and Alejandro Zambra to think about what it means to write as an "hijo" in the 21st century.

[Bryan Boucher @bryanhboucher]

@adamokane that was horrendous

[Tim Urban @waitbutwhy]

Everything we call civilization was invented in the last 500 generations—way too short a time for our bodies and brains to re-optimize. We're a bunch of primates in a totally unnatural environment, trying our best. Good thing to keep in mind!
