Hey friends, I have another personal/professional update. A thread. TL/DR version: by the end of October, I’ll have chosen not only to be without a permanent home (see 2021 thread) but also without a set job:

Some personal news: I’m taking up a nomadic life for a bit and will be sharing updates via Twitter. On a bit of a whim, I left a place I’d called home for *well* over a decade and will explore many more neighborhoods before determining where (if?) to put down roots again.

I believe all communication should be true, honest, and helpful. Interpersonally, it should also be kind. In the short-run, such speech might not be the most profitable. And yes, the #1A protects more than the speech I describe.

Failing to take seriously the spread of misinformation is not an option in this era. Celebrating its spread, delighting in division, and mocking those who care about others is reprehensible. I'm no longer using this platform. You can find me on LinkedIn and Medium.

In his latest piece with @Poynter, @stevenwaldman reinforces the role of local news in reducing polarization and bringing communities together. “In addition to the watchdog function, local news — of a different sort — has a community cohesion role.” poynter.org/commentary/2023/…

Read yet another male author who, in describing a guy as “successful,” includes mention of “his beautiful wife” in a professional context (i.e., nothing to do with his being married.) Has anyone ever seen a description of a successful woman that includes her “handsome husband?”

And, of course, you can swap pronouns - e.g., HER beautiful wife or HIS handsome husband. My question is whether a husband’s appearance is ever emphasized to show someone’s success.
