"Sen. Durbin ... you had mentioned this 'rhetoric.' You had mentioned 'what message does it send to trans individuals?' My combat to that is: what message does this send to women, to young girls ... their rights to privacy and safety thrown out of the window?" @Riley_Gaines_

The great thing about dogs is they will never grow out of date or obsolete. Always relevant and near and dear to our hearts. 🐩🐕‍🦺🦮 (unless you are a cat lover, of course 😂) @FluencyMatters

Retirement is a misnomer. It just means I get to direct my attention exclusively to the things I LOVE: family, teaching #MLB, reading & writing (for FUN), languages, SLA, travel, the great outdoors… (Notice social media didn’t make my list.)
