@Insurgent_Prof Amen. Feel the same way about journalism, which is often framed as a "noble calling" in cynical ways that exploit workers.

Heard the brilliant @AlyssaAGoodman talk about this strange "9,000-light-year-long ribbon of matter" this weekend and am now in jeopardy of spending the entire week looking at images of space. harvardmagazine.com/2020/01/interg…

@alexheard Just thought of a couple ideas but turns out they're actually New Jersey.

Day 5 of my valiant attempt to find a great outdoor book set in Delaware. It took Brigham Young less time to get to Utah. May have to go with a children's book I heard about called "Horace the Horseshoe Crab."

Great guest lecture from former student and Memphis music expert @JaredJayBBoyd last week. Somebody give him a book contract.

Two years of WYXR have flown by. I couldn’t have imagined, two years ago when I wrote these words, the journey this path would send me on and all the passionate people I would come to know. Thank you, Memphis. dailymemphian.com/section/arts-c…

I literally thought the University of Mississippi was under attack. It was LOUD and LOW.

Don’t worry people… it’s just the military practicing flyovers for Saturday’s game against Kentucky.

Fascinating to observe what it took for this Brett Favre story to percolate up from Mississippi to the national papers.
The New York Times@nytimes
Brett Favre has been accused of playing a role in the misappropriation of about $8 million in public funds intended for welfare recipients in his home state of Mississippi. Some fans are calling for his removal from the Hall of Fame. nyti.ms/3SgkKTb

What have you got my Southern people???

Serious request. If you live in or know about one of these states—Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Kansas, South Carolina, or Georgia—tell me about the best book you know of that covers outdoor adventure (or natural history)—in your home turf.

@alexheard "Rising Tide," about the 1927 floods, by John Barry. "Canoeing Mississippi," Ernest Herndon. "The Home Place," J Drew Lanham.

Is there some type of easy fix for switching off the annoying autocorrect when you're texting in another language?

@isthatbritt @MLK50Memphis Congrats! Such a great outlet doing incredible work.

I took methotrexate to end an ectopic pregnancy and will forever be grateful. It was safe, it was life-saving, and it gave me a far better chance of one day having a baby than a ruptured fallopian tube and surgery would have. This is so sad and so unjust.
Los Angeles Times@latimes
Six days after the Supreme Court struck down the right to abortion, lupus patient Becky Schwarz got an unexpected message from her rheumatologist. Schwarz was stunned. Methotrexate is a cheap, common drug prescribed to millions of Americans. Thread ⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…

@LaurenMarkham_ @vauhinivara You had me at "periods of despair"

This with @vauhinivara was so damn good –– I particularly loved the discussion re: the connection between writing fiction & writing journalism.
