One of my favorite editing projects was @ProfessorCrunk's article on Michelle Obama's 2017 inauguration ponytail.

Michelle Obama's ponytail at the last inauguration "evinced rage of both the eloquent and the elegant varieties," @ProfessorCrunk wrote. At today's inauguration, her hair is long and flowing. https://t.co/C8xGEuG6VQ

RT @YNPierce: So surprised, given the recent mail delays, to receive copies of my new book today. I'm excited to share her with the world.…

If you're related to me, don't read this. Everyone else, read it.

dreamed last night that Michael Cohen, while arguing with Nancy Pelosi, made a smarmy comment that was essentially a pick-up line. And Nancy's response was PRICELESS.

And this is why I love Ralph Keen.

RT @DrIbram: Such an important topic. Thank you Rebecca Ruiz for writing about it. All of us parents need to be raising antiracist children…

We are profoundly sad to report that Toni Morrison has died at the age of eighty-eight. “We die. That may be the meaning of life. But we do language. That may be the measure of our lives.” February 18, 1931 – August 5, 2019 https://t.co/DWnElCpMKc

RT @_BenMyers_: One of the most unlikely verses in the whole Bible is Matt 13:51. “‘Have you understood all this?’ They answered, ‘Yes.’”

"We know that Abraham broke the law, but we make allowances for his crimes because we consider the mitigating circumstances that brought him to such terrible actions."

My favorite AAR/SBL speaker last year was Oluwatomisin Oredein. She's a theologian, a poet, and a pastor—even when writing a book review!
