I just can’t stop thinking about this: if it were Black Lives Matter that staged an insurrection at the Capitol that left five people dead and 100+ officers injured, the desecration of the building and the theft of property. If BLM had stalked to kill the VP and the speaker…

@mervatim All I see is two spaces after the period. ENRAGING!!

Teachers, I hope you’ll be sharing Amanda Gorman’s poem with your students. Here’s a lesson plan.

For news outlets, here is a necessary clarification about poet laureates by incredible US Poet Laureate @JoyHarjo . I am not the only one, nor the last

I have worked for 37 straight hours, covered ICU and nephrology call overnight, looked after three dialysis units, 10 dialysis shifts and the hospital kidney service. In return, I ask you to wear a mask, zoom Christmas dinner and pretend New Year’s eve is June 31st. Please?

@birbigs In the movie, the CDC, government, communities all work together to coordinate a sensitive and scientifically effective solution. It’s obviously in the fantasy genre.

@petersagal @kylecassidy @FreeLibrary He wrote about you a lot, no?

@laurenfklein The racialization of academia through the filter of professionalism?

@mervatim @FeministPress @CUNY Went down an illiac crest rabbit hole. So glad I did.

Real question:

If you’re not supposed to eat the whole box of cookies then how many cookies ARE you supposed to eat?

Serious replies only.

What if we celebrate “Boy Power” on #InternationalMensDay?

What if we define Boy Power as kindness, brave vulnerability, & expressiveness that’s innate in boys bc they are full human beings before society tries to drill the spectrum of emotions out of them.

Those under 30 in GA really came out. My undergrads are definitely not a “liberal” group but they all knew something was wrong.

[Van Jones @VanJones68]

You can't say it enough - a lot of African-American women are bringing @JoeBiden across the finish line. @staceyabrams (of course), Tameika Atkins (ProGeorgia), Helen Butler (GCPA), @nseufot (@NewGAProject), Deborah Scott (@GA_STANDUP) and many many more.

[Nirmal Trivedi @qalem]

@VanJones68 preach!!! Yes! No taboo about being direct about talking to black people.

[Nirmal Trivedi @qalem]

@constancekassor Thinking about this too. I'm guessing it doesn't matter if he doesn't concede. The government will just transition as usual without him. Just saw today that FAA limited airspace above Biden's home...

Good question. @HillaryHSteiner ?

[CollegeSuccessCoach @CollegeSuccess1]

How well regarded is the LASSI (Learning and Study Strategies Inventory)? In ADHD Coaching and Academic Life Coaching circles, I get the cold shoulder at its mention. Limits? Uses? TYIA!@HillaryHSteiner @qalem @vandycft @SChewPsych

A great example of borrowing innovation from one field for another. Doctors at a struggling children's hospital sent videos of their post-surgical hand-offs to Ferrari's F1 pit crew (see the GIF!) to improve. They reworked the process & reduced associated errors rates by 66%. 1/2
