Spending my morning editing the transcript from the incredible Utley Panel on race and racism in the field of folklore that happened during the @afsfolklorists annual meeting last month. Seems like a good place to sit while we wait for good news.

@DooleyBurden @StreetFolkLCW Now I feel like I have to actually use mine instead of just observing #folklore twitter from the sidelines. We can figure it out together!

@Himesea Very impressed with both your paper and your dedication! 🔥

@cjwidmayer @guurg23 I was just going to suggest ontology! Also the correct meanings of inductive/deductive.
