Several months ago, the current Governor said, “Any day I’m not in Jackson is a good day.” I’m walking to my polling place this morning in the heart of Jackson—where taxpayer dollars have helped him live for the last four years. But today, I’m voting to make his wish come true!

Because all of you supposedly-enlightened folk have abandoned the south as a lost cause, and somebody’s gotta stay here and fight back if we ever want things to change. In MS, for example, we got within 26k votes of taking the far right out of the Gov mansion. Next time, we will.

Statistics say that Mississippi schools are consistently among the lowest-performing in the nation. Tonight, at my old high school, I watched hundreds of thousands of scholarship money be awarded to a class that donated 2600+ community service hours.

Thread: Today, I read the section of Holes where Sam is murdered by the townspeople for kissing Katherine, a white woman. I get the fear of talking about race with your students; I do. And I was nervous going into the lesson today. But my kids, y’all. My KIDS.

On blue-jean Fridays, I often wear jeans, an oversized white button up, and my hair up because when I was in seventh grade, I saw Meryl Streep wear that outfit in the It’s Complicated commercial. I know now that this movie is meant to serve middle-aged joy, but I don’t care.

I am delighted to inform all three of you who care that I have finally had a breakthrough on Chapter III of my thesis and I do not hate it and, to quote the book itself, God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.

Lifting a statewide mask mandate because the case numbers are declining makes about as much sense as studying really hard for a test, doing well, and thus determining that you must not need to study for the next one.

I can’t get over how awesome, diverse, and interactive the American Writers Museum in Chicago is. Celebrates American writing while encouraging everyone who comes into the museum to add to + interact with that literary history.

I pride myself on being a super normal religious person until the moment I find out one of my elected officials is a United Methodist. I sent a two-page email to my city councilman about the need to live into our mutual baptismal vows by voting for trash pick-up.

Since my first tuition bill is paid, I figure it’s a good time to tell y’all that I’m going to be getting a second MA online at LSU in 2024, this one in Higher Education Administration. Inexplicably, they do not offer discounts if their athletic teams have almost killed you.

“I say his name now for myself, proving my English professors’ belief that Emmett Till’s blood cries out to us from the pen of Mississippians.” Read my latest with the Mississippi Free Press, out tonight —
