“After graduating from college, I won a scholarship to study theoretical astrophysics at Cambridge, a place that resembles the wizard school Hogwarts except there's no magic and everyone's in Slytherin.”
Kate Marvel, Human Nature: Nine Ways to Feel About Our Changing Planet

Adrian Miller
“So, we come to the meat of the matter: a theology of barbecue. Barbecue brings people together, creating a space where we can recognize the divine in each other, reaffirm our individual and collective humanity, and live the good life — here, now, not waiting until the afterlife. Today, we call this "radical hospitality," which means "finding ways to welcome the marginalized, forgotten, and misunderstood among us." Radical hospitality transformed individual and collective mindsets because it gave the enslaved a window on a possible, alternate reality: a reality where they are seen, accepted, and loved as human beings.”
Adrian Miller, Black Smoke: African Americans and the United States of Barbecue

“Teaching, like writing, is an extended exercise in failure. You make a plan, do your best to execute, have some portion of your ass handed to you by circumstances and events you could not foresee, and try to do better next time around.”
John Warner, Why They Can't Write: Killing the Five-Paragraph Essay and Other Necessities

“I am, happily, entirely ordinary in just about every way.

But I have my writing practice, and that matters.”
John Warner, More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI

Mary-Frances Winters
“The typical narrative is that people have to first feel safe before they can be brave. But what if the order was the opposite? What if we create spaces where people can be brave so that we can all eventually feel safe? I am not suggesting that people, particularly those from historically marginalized groups, have to risk being misunderstood, ridiculed, or otherwise outed for people to feel safe. However, I am suggesting that until we address the roots of psychological danger (the opposite of psychological safety) - exclusive mind-sets and policies - by creating spaces in which everyone is encouraged to delve into their own discomfort and learn about who they are, who others are, and how we can be bridges for one another, we will not be able to create sustainably safe spaces.”
Mary-Frances Winters, Inclusive Conversations: Fostering Equity, Empathy, and Belonging across Differences
