It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Way back when in Soviet times I remember a news bulletin about a guy setting himself on fire on Red Square in front of the Kremlin. Asked for comment, a Kremlin spokesman said: There was no incident on Red Square today. Here we still are.

The best articulation I've read of the difference a relatively small sum of money can make in a person's life. There's an ocean between broke & not broke. (by @tarawestover, whose memoir Educated was partly responsible for my return to university at 32) nytimes.com/2022/02/02/opi…
5) Educated by Tara Westover Tara’s process of self-discovery is beautifully captured in Educated and I loved her journey from the mountains of Idaho to the halls of Cambridge. It’s the kind of book that I think everyone will enjoy, no matter what genre you usually pick up.
sometimes we think @tarawestover has a secret deal with every little free library in boho america ...

From Denmark, to Australia, to the UK, and now to the Czech Republic, it has been a beautiful last 13 years with @tereziexx. Last weekend we decided to make it official, surrounded by some wonderful family and friends. Here's to the future together!
@tarawestover I just finished reading Educated and I am deeply moved by your story telling. This is a phenomenal book and was hard to get through considering I almost always had tears in my eyes.
@tarawestover @Egangoonsquad Hi,Tara,it’s my privilege to know you through your book. Just yesterday, I finally finished reading Educated. I hope I can find my own mountain as soon as possible.
I read @tarawestover’s Educated on my flight on Thursday and finished it on today’s flight. Throughout the busy weekend I thought about her story and the peak and wondered what would happen next. I am so sad I finished it and am so deeply moved. Thank you, Tara.
@tarawestover I just came to here hoping you might have recommended a book lately. Thank you. The fact it is a repeat read for you only underscores (doubly) the recommend
@tarawestover Hi，Tara, you are my favorite writer. Your books have encouraged me in my most difficult times and helped me go further and further on the road of learning. Thank you and your books for the comfort they have brought to me
@tarawestover So this happened. Was just today thinking of getting your book, then found this immaculate hardcover copy on the street while out on our evening walk. Amazing.
