Hey! Huge congrats!
This is part of what I was trying to get at here: https://kfitz.info/4-august-2019-1839/ I fear it’s not just that he and his crew are getting points for it, though; it’s that they’re working to pin the words to one particular kind of extreme horror. + https://twitter.com/BrentNYT/status/1158689254261841926

The goal is to make it harder to point to the more quotidian acts of white supremacy by which we are surrounded in the same way.
This is a breathtaking loss. https://twitter.com/vulture/status/1158727129779122177

A bit on the obverse: The most important novel I ever read was Song of Solomon, which made me stop writing fiction. Not only because it was clear that I would never produce anything that perfect, but because it was clear that the world did not need my stories. It needed hers. https://twitter.com/JHUPress/status/1158744738356453377
Thank you, Heather, for making me feel SO MUCH BETTER about the garden-variety passive-aggressiveness by which I sometimes feel surrounded. https://twitter.com/hhavrilesky/status/1159064685582397440

Mine was a choice rather than a restriction, but I got a LOT of “you can just eat around the bacon” for a while there. I cannot imagine what it’s like for folks with actual allergies and sensitivities!
This is super-important. Also: there will be things that end up in the diss because of a committee member’s concerns rather than those of your argument. These should be the first things to go when you start revising it into a book. https://twitter.com/nancybaym/status/1159188721868185606

I don’t even know what to say about where this summer went. Things got done, but not the things I’d planned.
Instead I’ll point to the article that came out this week in EDUCAUSE Review, which definitely falls in that not-planned-but-done category. https://er.educause.edu/articles/2019/8/sustainability-solidarity-and-community-in-higher-education
