Re the emails-hardly the main point but I remember a certain cultural moment around 2000 & before phone keyboards when it was uncool NOT to have typos bc texting was hard. Educators worried that text-speak would hasten illiteracy. Could JE not write, or was he just using the register of the time?๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

The circumstances of Virginia's death haunt me. I grew up close to where she died - it's a hundred kms outside the most isolated city in the world. What was a school bus even doing in that area? And why would you survive the crash and then end it all weeks later? It doesn't stack up at all ๐Ÿ˜ž

Oh no ๐Ÿ˜“. I'm an English prof/teacher. Have been known to proclaim confidently that reading/writing literature makes you a 'better' person. Wishing u strength - sending solidarity.

Yep - I suppose no one should be surprised by the 'hiding in plain sight'

I literally did this the other day. You see, I'm an Australian Aboriginal. We call lots of people Aunty and Uncle. I couldn't remember whether a relative was my Great Aunt or second cousin. My little sisters are actually my cousins. One of my Aunties is actually my second cousin. Super normal.

Watching the #NoKings from Australia. The numbers are FANTASTIC but one of the (many) things I love about it is that you're all so bloody hilarious. It could have been a grim, angry day but I keep seeing footage that has me in tears of laughter. Power to the (funny) people ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿธ๐Ÿฆ„

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

Jane Goodall, Eminent Primatologist Who Chronicled the Lives of Chimps, Dies at 91

My heart is filled with bittersweet sadness and admiration for the end of a life truly well-lived.

Rest in Power, Jane Goodall.

Thank you for embodying the best of humanity. Your imprint on the planet and its creatures is indelible.
