@DrEinavRFox Congratulations on your book, and what a fantastic cake!

[Charlotte Clymer 🇺🇦 @cmclymer]

Dear Sir,

We don’t know each other past a brief interaction, and in the event this finds you, wherever you are, tucked behind anonymity, I am hoping it may be of service in your walk with God.

On Thursday, I graduated from the Harvard Business School & the Harvard Kennedy School of Government.

On Tuesday, I restart my 7th and final year at Harvard Medical School.

Next year, I will become the 1st person in history to graduate from these three institutions.

This class and final projects sound so amazing!

[Hannah Jung @academijung]

Permit me to brag about my students in my Utah history class. I allowed my students a lot of freedom in creating their final project. The goal was for them to deeply engage with primary and secondary sources. There are a lot of ways to do that.

I have this client that travels in to get her hair done. I’ve been doing her hair since 2013 and I’ve met her children and her grandchildren. Been to birthday parties and events she’s thrown, we’ve had drinks and dinners together. She treated me like family.

an author of the big new climate report turned it into haiku and i don't think a scientist has ever communicated so clearly

I want y’all to listen to this and tell me there is no racism in this country! This young boy smh I just can’t anymore!!

[Janika Dillon @JanikaDillon]

Ah, I see you’ve never spent a snowy winter Armageddon in Boston! If you shovel a spot, it’s yours & you closely guard it w/an old folding chair. If you park in someone’s spot, expect slashed tires or a rock through your window! Don’t ask how I know! That note seems quite nice 😂

[Saige Miller @saige_miller]

A friend received this note on his car this morning.

Yalecrest residents are truly a different breed, y’all.

I just see this as an occupational hazard of being a historian!

[Congressman Jared Moskowitz @RepMoskowitz]

Do you think the parents of gun violence victims care about House Republicans’ hearings on DC public urination or banning books? Dead kids can’t read.

Here’s more info about the Visual Cliff study on Wikipedia: https://t.co/YunsMVHfkE

[Janika Dillon @JanikaDillon]

I was in this study as a baby when my parents were grad students at Cornell in the 70s. Apparently, I stopped crawling when I came to the glass!

[Dan Wuori @DanWuori]

In 1960 researchers developed an experiment called the “visual cliff” in an effort to determine whether depth perception is innate, keeping babies safe from dangerous, height-related obstacles. One thing is certain: Glass floors are a big nope for this little guy.

Haven't seen a better representation of what a Ph.D. is/should be.

Definitely “Bridge to Terabithia.”

What’s a film that makes you cry no matter how many times you’ve seen it?

I’ll go first: Steel Magnolias.
Your turn.

@HendrixKomoto Wonderful news!

[Janika Dillon @JanikaDillon]

@IGoBySteve Massachusetts—Central & Western MA are much more affordable than Boston/North & South Shores

i love being in bed. i don’t understand how people don’t get into bed and immediately feel happier. Sometimes I get into bed and that is my activity, just being in bed, because that’s how happy it makes me. I just lay there and think about how I’m in my bed and I’m happy about it

[Simone Stolzoff @SimoneStolzoff]

👋 I'm writing an article for the NYT about the value of creating personal rules!

Little rules like charging your phone outside of the bedroom, seasonal rules like sober January, work rules like not responding to emails after 5pm etc

Do you have any such rules? I'd love to chat

[Chris @Crfxm]

I can’t even explain to you how incredibly on brand this reaction is for my neighborhood. It all comes back to market basket.
