@heyGTG I really enjoyed reading this; thank you! I particularly enjoyed your opening and this: "Not merely tolerance of this, but even enjoyment of it, is what I regard as *truly* being an intellectual". I am perpetually stunned to see just how rare this quality is amongst academics.

"I don’t believe that I have ever been bored when left to my own devices. It consistently blows my mind when I encounter people who complain about being bored and needing other people or junk media to entertain them." Read the rest at gloriajensen.com/en/gifted-inte…

@tferriss This may be a great time to mention that I work with gifted adults and just created a quiz (that ISN'T an IQ test) that people can use as a tool to learn more about themselves: bit.ly/3Y4TEUP

People’s IQs seem to double as soon as you give them responsibility and indicate that you trust them.

Please consider taking the quiz, downloading the guide, and sharing these resources with anyone in your circle who you think might benefit. Don’t forget educators, mental health professionals, team leaders, and parents! Many thanks to all 🙏🏾 #gifted #giftedness #ourwildminds

... and what is meant by “the gifted rainbow” more broadly. The guide also includes material on becoming a gifted ally, The Gifted Person’s Bill of Rights (crowdsourced from the Our Wild Minds Community), and a recommended reading list.

You may know that I started my business Our Wild Minds about 1.5 years ago to create community and transformational programs for gifted people of color, but—like many people—perhaps you’re not sure what this whole “giftedness” thing is about.

@nycballet How long will this exhibition be visible?

If you haven't yet visited our theater to view "Excellence and Innovation: 75 Years of New York City Ballet," this is your sign. The multi-level photo exhibition is still on view to the public today and tomorrow, from 10 AM to 5 PM.

@surliertexan I appreciate your reflections, Alexis, and it makes me think of the queer feminist scholar Jane Ward's book The Tragedy of Heterosexuality on straight culture.

@thenightshirt I can't wait to read this! Do you know when an ebook version will be available?

@nycballet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@theineffability Boss 🔥

officially done with the semester! this school year was so intense for me. i passed my fields, submitted my prospectus, completed my 2nd translation exam, became ABD, and navigated being a TF/TA for the first time. really proud of myself for grinding it out and balancing it all.

@surliertexan Amazing! I hope that history of science instruction of the future allows room for this type of embodied learning!

Academics and PhDs juggling multiple projects: What project management system do you rely on? Notion, Excel, Kanban board, Trello, or other tools?

@surliertexan I love Hildegard von Bingen!
