@heyGTG I really enjoyed reading this; thank you! I particularly enjoyed your opening and this: "Not merely tolerance of this, but even enjoyment of it, is what I regard as *truly* being an intellectual". I am perpetually stunned to see just how rare this quality is amongst academics.

@tferriss This may be a great time to mention that I work with gifted adults and just created a quiz (that ISN'T an IQ test) that people can use as a tool to learn more about themselves: https://t.co/lVYG19Iohh

(1) “Wait, Could I Be Gifted?” the Quiz (https://t.co/lVYG19Iohh)— designed to provide a jumping off point for ongoing self-discovery related to the role that giftedness may play in your life and/or the lives of others around you.

@nycballet How long will this exhibition be visible?

@surliertexan I appreciate your reflections, Alexis, and it makes me think of the queer feminist scholar Jane Ward's book The Tragedy of Heterosexuality on straight culture.

@thenightshirt I can't wait to read this! Do you know when an ebook version will be available?

@BilgeEbiri As a devoted Malick fan, this passage raises so many questions and I need answers!

@AcademicChatter 1. Deciding which battles are worth fighting; 2. Unapologetically asserting my humanity in the face of nonsense when necessary; 3. Taking daily action in the service of my larger career vision which connects me with broader publics and puts interpersonal BS into perspective.
