A musher was cut from the Iditarod for being too far behind. He went to Nome anyway. https://t.co/hOPSYa8lag

@jjmcvey @PetreRaleigh Not a solution in the humanities, where the purpose of writing assignments is to help students learn to think.

Sorry for tweeting so much, but Twitter throttles out-bound links, so I'm trying this again.

SoCal animal shelters are overwhelmed with people dropping off injured animals they can't take with them as they flee. Many are in need of volunteers, money, and foster homes 🧵

Oprah’s not doing a great job of convincing me that she shouldn’t run for office

@jenwith_1_n @mobydickenergy Haha some dude on Tinder asked me who I was voting for in the primary and when I told him Clinton he informed me that she had “literally murdered more than 40 people.” I was like, wow, in that case I’m definitely voting for her!

Tim Walz has a regular @culvers order.

[M. Molly Backes @mollybackes]

@thermostat I said “worst thing,” not “best thing.”

[M. Molly Backes @mollybackes]

The worst thing about the Walz pick is that we’re in for 3 months (8 years???) of the rest of the country misusing the phrase “Minnesota nice.”

@suesswassersee In Iowa, your dad takes the long way home so he can judge the neighborhood fields. “Dat’s some dirty beans” is a devastating indictment of a man’s farming prowess.

Only recently did I realize that it’s not normal to take your baby to the bar in other parts of the country, lol. How else are they gonna learn how to pull a pint for you?

Every time I leave Utah I realize how big a relief it is to be able to take my kid to dinner and not have to make phone calls & worry about whether she's allowed to eat there.
