Imagine if your asshole neighbor put that energy into something useful. Imagine if they all did. It would be a different world. I hope your knee feels better soon, Sheryl.

I had a job interview in my old home town yesterday. It’s over 3.5 hours from family, and I moved to Michigan to be closer to family, so I’m a bit ambivalent. But late in the interview they asked about committee work, and I mentioned how proud I was to be a founding member of my current team’s DEIA group, completely forgetting that the town hosted a unit of the Klan until just a couple of years ago. The atmosphere got a little chilly thereafter, so I don’t know that this is a choice I’ll need to make.

I had an interview Thursday with a different community college that’s a lot closer, and they asked me to tell them about my experiences promoting diversity at my current job. I suspect that would be a far better fit.

Yeah, better to find out the office culture includes a commitment to racism before an offer is on the table, Calli.

Our wings are not tired.

That does make the choice more obvious, Calli. Hope that one comes through.

I’d hoped that the dismantling of the local Klan group was a sign that things had improved. Guess it’s still a work in progress.

Happy birthday, Kay G.!
