If you feel like contributing some pretty much pure good in the world today, please consider contributing to this #Givebig2022 campaign, the project I've been working on for the last few years. It has really come to life, & we could really use your help! wagives.org/story/Tietonarts…
Look ma, we made the paper! “Tieton Arts & Humanities building on partnership with Highland School District to expand arts enrichment offerings” yakimaherald.com/news/local/… via @Yakima_Herald
Happy to chat, ma! 👩❤️👩 Jill Lepore is making history interesting again this year. I think you’d like her. Would discuss her new book if you want! libro.fm/audiobooks/97817050…
"For years, one of the most interesting charts in American politics has been the graph showing how closely political polarization and income inequality in America track one another." @mightyzuck, @TheAtlantic, 2014. Where can we get an updated version of this? Why is it so hard?

In spirit of humility and depoliticising Covid, here are things I’ve changed (and continue to change) my mind on:
