One of my big papers last semester was on the history of neighborhood associations in
#Charlottesville
, and how their use of zoning laws was an extension of the other exclusionary practices they used to keep their neighborhoods wealthy and white.

I don’t understand why the administration won’t split the difference and just eliminate the interest on student loans. It’s the paying without making a dent in the balance that’s the real killer.

White people like honoring civil rights leaders, but we should remember the real pain, danger, and sacrifice they endured, and be willing to put ourselves in those same situations.
Good trouble is only good and only trouble when it radically disrupts the status quo.

I listened to the verdict in the car with the kids, and then made sure they knew the system sacrificed Chauvin in order to save itself. This is much less about justice than it is a glimpse at a system of violence that knows it can be destroyed.

I fully believe there’s a market for an Episcopalian type church with upbeat evangelical-style music.
I'm visiting churches again. Mostly mainline. The sermons are very theologically good. No official complaints.
It just isn't home.
Do I need to adjust to a new way of being home?
Is the feeling of "church as home" gone for good?
This thread, at least, is a kind of home.

My daughter called her loan servicing place today to ask about this and the woman immediately knew what she wanted, filled out the form, and told her she’d hear something next week. She said this was a super easy process to do!
Folks. Cannot stress this enough. Federal student debt payments have been paused since March 2020. If you made any payments since then, YOU CAN REQUEST A REFUND through your student loan servicer. That money—quite literally—belongs to you.

“Some of those same libraries that didn’t want to promote his events had no problem whatsoever allowing Cameron to reserve meeting space and host his own reading...Cameron could have taken that option. He didn’t. There’s no victimhood in that.”
Christian evangelist and actor Kirk Cameron says public libraries are censoring him by not sponsoring events for his new children's book.
That's not censorship. He just doesn't know how libraries work.

@presjimryan
UVA has: 1) placed “degree holds” on seniors; 2) barred all from most campus life via NTO’s, 3) filed University disciplinary charges, and 4) said zero about the criminal cases.
(Speaking only for myself, if UVA wants to “rebuild trust,”👆might be a good place to start.)
