I just received a letter from the President after I emailed him about protecting the environment. I was not expecting this.

Empathy and Error: The Story of Michael Center He led Texas tennis. He went to prison. Now, Michael Center wants to tell his story.

Hello Ms. Kimes! I’m Zach, a high school journalist. I just published an article about former UT tennis coach Michael Center and his role in the Varsity Blues scandal. Would be grateful if you gave it a look or shared it:

I interviewed Michael Center about his rise in college tennis, the scandal that took him down, and the rebuilding that came after prison. The story is more human than you think:

Great day for Democrats in Charlotte.

City Council District 6 was won by a Democrat for the first time, Kimberly Owens.

This has nothing to do with your post above, but I just watched your Crash Course Philosophy series and wow! Thank you so much for breaking a very difficult concept down for me! You did a great job!

Alabama Didn't Just Execute a Possibly Innocent Man. They Tortured Him. Anthony Boyd’s nitrogen gas execution lasted over 20 minutes. He gasped 225 times. He maintained his innocence until the end.

There is a fair chance that an innocent man was tortured to death last night.

Imagine being strapped down to a gurney, and helplessly suffocating to death. Imagine fighting to survive with your lungs on fire, your face wet with tears, and your heart pounding so fast that it’s all you can hear.

Anthony Boyd very well may have been an innocent man. The state of Alabama brutally killed him tonight.

Any Northwestern Alums on this platform that could answer a few questions I have about NU and Chicago? I am currently in the process of applying there and have some questions about the weather, j-school, etc. Thanks!

Everyone’s freaking out about politics. Me? I’m a high school senior freaking out about Moby-Dick.

Hi, I’m Zach, a HS senior. Reading Moby-Dick this summer made me think about how unpredictable life and politics can be. I wrote an essay on Ishmael’s approach to uncertainty:
