The terrifying beauty of the ocean 🧵 1. Sitting on the edge of an underwater cliff

Harvard University is offering free online courses. No textbooks, application, or fees required. Here are 10 FREE courses you don't want to miss:

Tennessee’s new “House rules” for the special session clarify that small paper signs are no longer allowed in committee rooms, but guns are. This is INSANE!

academic conferences are wild. $1000 in flights and lodging. talk about your work for 15mins. hear some questions that are more of comments. go to the plenary. a senior scholar says something completely out of pocket. "this is not who we are." overpriced cocktails at hotel bar.

49 years ago today, Martin Luther King’s mother, Alberta King, was assassinated while in church. 6 years after her son was gunned down in Memphis. Alfred Daniel King, brother to MLK, mysteriously died in a swimming pool, 15 months after his brother’s assassination.

Every Christian who works in a public-facing business and refuses to serve people because of their gender, identity, race, etc … is *literally* telling them that despite being good enough for Christ to die for … they aren’t good enough to be served by that Christian.

I used to work in student loan servicing and here are the top things I think people need to know about their federal student loans and how to make them manageable if you’re really struggling to pay them. A thread:

Being ashamed about reactionary Asians is not going to change the fact that fascists have you out-organized. You don’t get to watch all this go down and limit yourself to complaining about those other Asians you have better opinions than. Who does that help.

@jaxxpeng @AERA_EdResearch OMG!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!

Remember friend. A $5 iced latte a day is $25 a week, $100 a month, $1200 a year. After 10 years.. that’s $12,000! Which is still nowhere near enough to put a down payment on a house so enjoy your espresso in peace.

PWIs: Why can’t we retain BIPOC faculty? Also PWIs: Lets make BIPOC faculty teach multicultural courses and justify the presence of white privilege to graduate students who don’t believe experiences of racial discrimination are real or valid.

The vast majority of people walking away from church in America are not rejecting the person and work of Jesus. They are rejecting erroneous biblical interpretations which lead to bigotry, oppression, and marginalization. This rejection isn't unchristian. It is Christlike.

Racial categories were created to standardize the pre-existing inequality. Thus, "race" is not "a thing" (i.e., nominal variable); instead, "race" reflects experiences that vary between- and within these socially constructed categories.

41 years ago, #VincentChin was bludgeoned to death with a baseball bat by two White autoworkers in Detroit. His killing became representative of the violence, racism, and discrimination that #AsianAmericans have long endured in the US. It also sparked a movement.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.

It’s my first publication day! Using a conjoint experiment, @bonniersiegler and I find that white parents strongly prefer schools with fewer Asian students in a new paper out at @SocEducation. \thread

What do you think is actually the most beautiful word in Korean? Wrong answers only

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment. I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST. HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know. but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.
