Books by James Baldwin, one of America’s greatest intellectuals, humanists and activists (he was also a film critic* and historian) that I highly recommend. Well, I highly recommend all of them including the one in my photo. Here are just a few of the other Baldwin books you must read:

Go Tell It On The Mountain
Notes Of A Native Son
No Name In The Street
The Devil Finds Work*
Another Country
If Beale Street Could Talk
The Evidence Of Things Not Seen

I hate that I have to avoid someone because they signed up for a multi level marketing scheme.
Damn you Nana.

God will never give you more than you can handle, unless you were born in the wrong place or don't have money. That makes God super mad.

I made a joke to one of my employees about something being ‘truly ironic, Alanis’ but he just looked at me blankly, so for making me feel really old and out of touch there’s someone who ironically won’t be getting a promotion any time soon.

Visit to the Newton Room today (regional STEM hub for secondary schools), loads of renewable energy based experimental stuff. First year class, and very engaged. On top of that, one of the girls dug into SparkVue, an app I spend time explaining to 6th years and teachers, and created a beautifully well annotated set of multiple data runs, very impressed. All off her own initiative.

Absolutely delighted to join Mastodon!
