The next time my mom even insinuates that I don't do [fill in the blank w/something positive], I'll remind her of the wrap around the store line I stood in for her at 6:30am for $5 Old Navy pajamas.

I enjoyed writing this paper. Cool methods. Cool data. In an effort to push us beyond racial resentment as the only way to think and talk about racial attitides, the results highlight an array of racial ideologies swirling around the US.

As a former guest of @SSNScholarsβ long-standing podcast @NoJargonPodcast, I cannot recommend this show enough! They're celebrating their 250th ep by focusing on the Inflation Reduction Act, and it's definitely worth a listen. #NoJargon250

For all of the American Politics faculty who are maybe... kinda getting yourself together to start on your Fall syllabus, the good people at the Democracy Works Podcast have put together an companion for your Intro to American Politics syllabus. Check it out!
Hey #poliscitwitter - if you're teaching intro to American politics this semester, we have lots of Democracy Works episodes you can use alongside or instead of readings. We'd love to hear how you use these episodes or others in the classroom! democracyworkspodcast.com/syβ¦

BTW, have you assigned podcast in your classes previously? If so, how did your students respond and engage with the material delivered that way? Are there any podcasts or episodes that you especially like to share with students?

I had an opportunity to learn from @jbouie and Coleman Hughes during their debate, which hinged on the question: "Does Color Blindness Perpetuate Racism?"
The answer is yes, but the debate was still interesting. Check it out.

Weβre interested in everything Black. So if you tell us thereβs a Black oyster farmer somewhere in NC, best believe weβll find a way to get him to East Durham.
March, 29 come for the oysters from @OystersCarolina, stay for the pork mandu and the beer.
