Meanwhile, faith leaders have barricaded themselves inside Candler School of Theology in protest of both the ongoing genocide and arrests. Earlier, cops tried (and failed) to tear gas their way in with gas and pepper balls earlier

LOL, my mother used it religiously. We lived in Jamaica and she made sure to have lots of it around. Frankly I thought it was the most awful perfume. I did share her love of Charlie perfume. Yikes
Yep, we should be allowed to walk to our offices without being manhandled by the police. I know the

I’m proud to stand in solidarity with 1,500 grad workers at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) who are on strike for a living wage. I say to UIC: Sit down at the bargaining table. Negotiate in good faith. Pay your workers a living wage.

We stand firmly behind our fellow graduate students knowing that not only do we benefit from their labor, but that this effects our entire campus community. The GEO strike will continue tomorrow. See you all at 12 in the quad for the GEO Rally with the Chicago Symphony!
My God, I’m racked with grief and tears. Ruth Bader Gingsburg has just died.

But my greatest sorrow Is that I lived in the time of this woman and never got to meet her or to say “thank you” to this remarkable woman

I just got your book in the mail, tonight. Reading the first chapter now.
From this day forward I will write in my syllabi that students can bring their kids to class.
Sometimes students sheepishly ask me if they can bring their child to class. I always say “Yes..Absolutely”
53 years ago, marriages like ours were illegal. Today, I'm raising an incredible child freely and openly with the love of my life. But it's not lost on us that we still live in a world with too much hate. There's still much work to do. Let's all do more in this fight.
#LovingDay
I have to face 3 classes of first year students today. Majority women of color. The day after it's announced that a 19-yr old woc was strangled in a parking garage on-campus. I don't know what I'm going to say. I don't know what there is to say.
This is amazing…I taught at
