@snarky_feminist Have you thought about engaging with a spiritual director? I think that might be a way to re-engage deeply without organized religion. Here's an example https://t.co/nNpoK7F0v5

Interesting questions asked in this article about what we mean by teaching "critical thinking." Also interesting to consider what should be included in "civics education."

Emmett Till would've, should have, turned 81 this year.

To put that into perspective-

Joe Biden is 79.

Bernie Sanders is 81.

Morgan Freeman is 85.

This wasn't in some distant past, and the fight is nowhere near over.

@snarky_feminist Still doing ok? I’m getting my second in two weeks, and I’m a bit nervous given all the talk. Also, glad you were able to get vaccinated!

@snarky_feminist I missed your tweets about your first dose. How did you feel then?

Welcome to parenthood. Buy cheap furniture.

@jchasedavis For the record, I fully intend to read at least one of the books you just recommended to me. I went ahead and read that other stuff before I approached you. ;)

@mctownsley @JSARD_ Same to you! Passed your article along to a friend of mine who was just talking to me about the challenges she's facing on her campus around this.

@KerriWingert I feel like how you process the emotional roller coaster experienced from every review letter really shapes the way you write your own reviews. Glad you got some good reviews!
