Yesterday, as I finished writing this post, I saw a quote from Sen. Cory Booker. I don’t know when he used it, but we clearly agree. “You can’t lead the people, if you don’t love the people.” gepaine.substack.com/p/it-really-...

Today’s post about the freedom we all carry with us - the freedom to choose how we respond to all that life throws at us. Always important but particularly in difficult times.

A bit of history about Women’s History Month and a reminder that our stories matter. We need to share them generously.

Today's Booknote examines Julian Bond's Time to Teach: A History of the Southern Civil Rights Movement. A masterclass worth reading anytime, but particularly in this day and age.

This second Book Note is more specialized, but I highly recommend it. If you teach in Educational Administration, it's a must read. "The Maplewood College Compendium: A Resource for Student Affairs Leaders" by Laura A. De Veau, Ed.D. @deveautrain.bsky.social

Today I start an occasional series of posts about things I'm reading. Today I start with the wonderful "Dreyer's English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style" by @bcdreyer.social. I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts. I know you'll enjoy his book! #booksky

This week I walked in community and here I'm sharing some of my reflections and other people's words I find inspiring. (I accidentally typed "inspiriting" and I kinda like that typo.) I hope you find them of value.

Now more than ever we need to remember our interdependence. Here's a link to my new Substack, Gage's Notes, with my reflections on kindness, community, and @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social 's wonderful book, A Paradise Built from Hell: The Extraordinary Communities that Arise in Disaster.

Facts matter. Science saves lives. Anti-science destroys them.
