My mom died last week. She was my biggest fan and the light of my life.
She was a staunch believer in the power of news. So much so that we included this in her obit:
“In lieu of monetary contributions, we ask that you hug your loved ones and subscribe to a local newspaper.”
Donations can help us produce a documentary in Northern India about three pretty amazing women fighting poverty and injustice in their villages. Please consider giving. Anything helps. -Scott Join me and make a gift to Textura #Textura givecampus.com/ste751

1) Thread for today: I am not going to opine on the Supreme Court's ruling except to tell a story about a late and valued friend. The story will suffice for the sum of my thoughts about affirmative action.
I was working at the student newspaper at the University of Maryland...

NEW: 2 yrs ago, I set out to learn everything about Heather Mayer, a popular figure in the local BDSM scene whose death was never solved. The reporting took me and @reneejon across the country chasing allegations of a serial abuser in the BDSM community. Read the investigation:
Police called Heather Mayer's hanging death a suicide, but her mother believed there was more to it. As she set out to find the truth, more women came forward with allegations of assault in the Twin Cities bondage community. startribune.com/heather-maye…
The @SklarBrothers were so good @AcmeComedyCo tonight that I can’t remember a single joke/line. – at St Paul, MN

This was so cool today at the ILPC Spring Convention. A student journalist sketched me while I was teaching, and asked me to add my signature.
Also, I feel like I’m in good company next to @ProfScottWinter.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This photo of Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders is from the March 8 signing of the LEARNS Act, which expands school choice and bans Critical Race Theory. She did not pose for a photo with children when she signed the Youth Hiring Act of 2023 two days later.
