@LYLee Hello Mr. Lee! I’m an instructor at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs. One of our faculty is planning on teaching “Persimmons” in her class next semester. Do you happen to know if there is a recording of you reciting the poem publicly available?
7) @Americaeditor After speaking with Jesus, the Samaritan woman did not hide her history. She walked into the town and publicly embraced her complicated past as the very foundation for how she came to believe in Him.
6) @Americaeditor While I'm sure you had benevolent intentions by suggesting that the process of exposing the royal family's "dirt" might produce more harm, might I suggest returning and reflecting upon the story of the Woman at the Well from this last Sunday's gospel.
5) @Americaeditor The compliment sandwich model of writing doesn't work in this moment. One cannot pastorally support those who are victims of racism by both calling doubt onto their stories and then expressing a formalistic compassion rooted in gestures to the value of family.
4) @Americaeditor We can't imagine that "x" person might do something terrible, so we blame the victim of that terror. We can't believe an institution might be prejudiced, so we think through all the ways a person navigating the institution might have done something wrong.
3) @Americaeditor The very act of demanding a non-contradictory account, assumes that the ground for an acceptable narrative is somehow universal. Racism is often the thing that, despite claims from minority voices, is dismissed as "contradictory" to "our" experience.
2) @Americaeditor I’m sure there are plenty of reasons to doubt anything circulated in the public media, but you chose to express this doubt in a public forum at the expense of alienating Catholics of Color who regularly face undue social scrutiny because of their race.
1/2 Have you ever wondered what your students think about the reading? One of my students made an AWESOME two part video log about his experience reading Marx for the first time. Check it out! #Marx#socialism#labor#anthropology#socialtheory https://t.co/3MkEp9P6U6
@Pontifex For #Christmas this year, I am hoping for a long-term university job. I’m finishing my PhD at Yale Anthropology with a dissertation on Chinese Catholic sisters. Would you pray for us scholars and teachers to find employment in this rough academic market? #AMDG
@Delta 7- Long story short, it would be nice if the app's bag tracker were a bit more seamless and cohesive with the info printed on the red pamphlet. Instead of saying that "mishandled bag case is closed" it should say that they've been transferred to a courier. Thanks!
@Delta 1- Hi Delta, I just finished sorting out a mishandled baggage claim and wanted to give ya'll some feedback. For starters, I did end up getting my bags the next day. Thank you! But here are some things that would have made it slightly less stressful.
@Delta 6- When I flipped to the back of the red pamphlet, I saw the https://t.co/h7qwYTtkr0 site and input my case number there. I got more accurate info and realized that the app was just telling me that the courier company had received the bags and that they were on their way.
