Trying to be thankful
Our stories fit into phones
& our voices lift so easily
A gift given accidentally
When we're not sure
We're not alone

Salt Lake Tribune published this op-ed on immigration:

From Salt Lake - Voices: Today it’s Haitian refugees. It used to be Latter-day Saints.

The supermajority goes straight to blaming judges (they appointed unanimously) & asserts it is the judiciary, not the legislature itself, that is toying with elections. Your actions have consequences. You are not perpetually blameless. Stop acting like victims & take the onus.

Here, fixed it for you:

Maybe we shouldn’t be all that surprised about the brilliant flames that the band Arcade Fire initially produced, the fact that several folks got burned by that band, or that it kind of smoked for a while before puttering out without anyone really noticing.

@TimothyOleksiak I loved how you led the two sessions I attended where you chaired. You made each feel special and your guidance respected both the audience and the palenalists. (Also loved your talk in the Alexander panel. Sent a few shout-outs to my colleague Kendall as she came up…)

Saving the Great Salt Lake is not a science problem, it’s a values problem.

Writing is a technology that restructures thought — and in an AI age, universities need to teach it more

@ProfKevinCoe Seconded on both accounts!

@kyle_matteson Did Phoenix, SLC, and Denver (and Paris, but who’s counting!?). My favorite band. Glad you get to see them tonight!

[Jon Stone @jwstone]

I was there!

It’s Friday, we are in love with @thecure 💕 Still dreaming about last night’s show. #ShowsOfALostWorld23

In honor of their first North American tour commencing this month I did a very deep dive into the career of The Cure — one of the all-time great alt-rock bands, purveyors of epic instrumental song intros, and the kings of depressingly sexy basslines.

I don't know of another book that has an audio preface! So, I'm proud of that. And I'm grateful to the folks at @UofMPress who made it possible.

It's Pete Seeger's 104th birthday!

In celebration, I'd love if you listened to my tribute to him, which appears as an audio preface to my book, Listening to the Lomax Archive.

I'm honored to not just reference Pete's words in my book, but to have his actual voice in it, leading his audience (and my readers!) in song: "And a time for every purpose, under heaven."

[Jon Stone @jwstone]

@LifeOnaPlate Why yes. Yes, I did.

What a cool find I had today at the local thrift store! The Murray DI had the first ten issues of @JMH_Journal (Journal of Mormon History) bundled for $10. Excellent score for any #mormonstudies nerd. The inaugural issue (see pic) had a pretty stacked list of contributors.
