[Africa Is a Country @africasacountry]

Zimbabwe is not Mugabe, Nkomo, Mnangagwa or Chamisa. A new Afro-electronic music duo is giving the country’s complexity a soundtrack. https://t.co/2lstD91GEY

These are, in fact, my exact words. I struggle to sit down to write for a variety of reasons, but @HannahdeK helped me find practical ways to make it easier and actually pleasurable

[Hannah de Keijzer @HannahdeK]

"The Feel Good Where You Write session with Hannah was exactly what I needed. I'm esp. grateful for the very thorough action plan, since I tend to get really overwhelmed by how much I have to do. Such a valuable investment in my professional and personal wellbeing!" -@prof_decker

[Tom Koenigs @tomkoenigs]

Claremont and SoCal People—come hear the great David Bradley read at 12:15 in the Clark Humanities Museum. The Chaneysville Incident is one of the great overlooked novels of the late 20th century—it deserves so much more attention!

[Michelle Decker @prof_decker]

@HannahdeK I just realized in the past year that I've spent the past decade holding my breath or breathing very shallowly while I write...and then wondered why I found writing painful and avoided it! I need your body awareness help!

please read this, especially if you follow him and like his snappy tweets about how good of a person he is for making $70k like a peasant

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Dan Price was called "the one moral CEO in America." He spoke about corporate greed and raising the pay of employees.

The attention enabled a pattern of abuse in his personal life and hostile behavior at work, a New York Times investigation found. https://t.co/8Iv7sJEpgp

Still searching for answers. LA city cultural history people? @wendyhsin do you know?

[Michelle Decker @prof_decker]

Culver City, embedded in the sidewalk at Washington Ave and Cattaraugus. Is it an art installation? Some evidence of historical policing of private/public property ON A SIDEWALK? I'm genuinely curious.

also would like to remark that Dhani Harrison's face and body language are an endless delight. no subtlety. no cool. he would have written the most earnest entry in Prince's yearbook.

[Michelle Decker @prof_decker]

[Prince @prince]

In March 2004, Prince was inducted into the @RockHall of Fame. In addition to performing his own material, he also made history by performing one of the greatest guitar solos of all time during an all-star tribute to @GeorgeHarrison. https://t.co/ZEmssCSgJ5
