@TherealOmarKA I hope at some point before med school eats your life, we’ll get together for coffee/lunch.

@MissDahlELama If the committee is diligent in their reading, they’ll get through a book a month? One every week? That list is looong. SMDH

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@MissDahlELama Agreed: this is hypnotic. Like a slow-motion book incineration.

@sapiotextual Curious that some of the most affluent people want to live under coercive regimes: only two paint colors, you will take in your trash can, jungle gyms are verboten. Weirdly D/S

Took a sec to RT that last tweet as I want people to see that one so they know I'm never pissed with them.

If YOU annoy me in a way I feel you should know? I'll always tell you. I'm not shy or passive aggressive.

But it's buggy because it's jammed into my brain without

@bbytyshh Think of them as sparkles. You’re glamming up.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@JoKnowles Fwiw - this week, I passed on “Lessons From A Dead Girl” to a HS reader who says she really appreciated it. Still here.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@bbytyshh They are lucky. You’re
Gonna slay.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@bbytyshh I liked, then felt the need to clarify: like the patience and valuing of your needs. Don’t love the bridge-based self-yeet. Obvs.

@lesbrains I like the use of 'proud' as a verb. When you supper gay, you probably should proud as hard as possible.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@kellyyanghk A small point: they can’t spell Jesmyn Ward’s name? The disrespect for literature and those who love it goes all the way through.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@MattRKay Just love this; it captures a subtlety of our profession.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@MattRKay But, you see, that’s not HER meaning. The True meaning. The one that means just what she chooses it to mean. 🤦

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@bbytyshh Hard to say: oxytocin and dopamine skew the data.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@bbytyshh Right? So ‘meh.’ Had to force myself to finish.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@MissDahlELama Now that the dam has burst, keep ‘em coming. My two are now in college, and I only regret the emails I didn’t send.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@Scott_Thought A good thread. And a wise rejoinder for a juvenile question.

[Terry DeBarger @tdebarger]

@bbytyshh Also had a kid with Mark Antony. There was a lot going on in the classical world.
