Black and white photo of Nikki Giovanni smiling Quote to ponder: there is always something to do. There are hungry people to feed, naked people to clothe, sick people to comfort and make well. And while I don't expect you to save the world, I do think it's not asking too much for you to love those with whom you sleep, share the happiness of those whom you call a friend, engage those among you who are visionary, and remove from your life those who offer you depression, despair, and disrespect.

I have been thinking about this Baldwin quote often as we transition into 2025. Winning is living, in a way.
James Baldwin quote. I can't be a pessimist because I am alive. To be a pessimist means that you have agreed that human life is an academic matter. So, I am forced to be an optimist. I am forced to believe that we can survive, whatever we must survive.

I started my classes this week with this image. The students had a good chuckle.
