Oh good, we’re starting with a question mark at #DGMA19 just like the #GlobalMiddleAgesWAC syllabus. For this conference it’s being roughly definitely 500-1600 CE.
By "definitely" I meant "defined."
The focus on public-facing scholarship and creating resources available on globalmiddleages.org makes #DGMA19 especially exciting--it's thrilling to be part of a conference that is making such an impact!

Today in #GlobalMiddleAges course @washcoll going to introduce them to the StoryMaps platform, using these examples: bit.ly/2U6zVQi and bit.ly/2ATGrTm . Follow along using #GlobalMiddleAgesWAC as we use ArcGIS software to research & interpret the past!
bit.ly/2S4hGxo . Here's the Dropbox link to our course syllabus for #GlobalMiddleAgesWAC and you'll notice that part of the point of the course is to question what "Middle Ages" or "Global" means.
I am most definitely NOT an expert on #GlobalMiddleAges, but I want to acknowledge that fact and encourage students to step outside their own comfort zones. I've prepped SO MUCH for this class, but I'm not building on as much prior knowledge as I usually have!

Oh good. Another Buzzfeed take. Yes, Phillips creates a confrontation, got in a kid’s face with a drum, and then went to the media to lie about every aspect of what happened and repeatedly smear a bunch of HS kids.

I don’t think an apology is sufficient, but it’s a start.
This guy behaved horribly, then lied repeatedly to the press. He smeared these kids in every way possible (accused them of being hateful, racist etc) knowing they’d have trouble responding (bc they are kids!!!).

And media’s takeaway a day later is he’s still the victim. #SMH

Sorry. It’s late.

Good morning! The Last Jedi novelization comes out in PB Tuesday. I'll offer some thoughts from the writing process in roughly chronological order. Hopefully it will be of some interest/answer some of the Qs folks had. (For which thank you.) amzn.to/2zrkytY
OK, that prologue. It's *NOT* a vision of a better life for Luke. It's a warning from the Force, which has used a dream to slip through Luke's defenses. In both dream and reality, Luke's life is seemingly tranquil but evil is ascendant everywhere else in the galaxy.
Why start there? I wanted to open with Luke and step back in time; to be in Luke's head in a way that would be harder later, when we're exploring Rey's story and he's a mystery she's trying to solve; and to introduce the idea of the Force as almost a character in its own right.

oh lordy help me I'm about to watch this lol
Jack says political twitter is divisive lol yeah it is. It's awful. That's not twitters fault though, that's the political discourse pushed by the fake news media 24/7 with sirens blaring riling everyone up. "You want to walk away" from it he says. There's a block button for that
"If you go to other twitters like NBA twitter and KPOP twitter you see the complete opposite, you see a lot of empowering conversation" 😂

Jack is right, there are a lot of different twitter universes for people, but a lot of them are terrible. See Big Brother twitter. Disaster

Good morning, Reza Zarrab case watchers, and good evening to those following from Turkey. The key witness - Zarrab - testifies today. Watch this space for a thread with updates, and catch the background here: courthousenews.com/turkish-gold-t…
An FBI interpreter was just qualified as an English-Turkish translation expert.
(One quick caveat on tweet starting thread: Anything can happen during a trial. Zarrab is *expected* to testify today. I'll update if anything changes on that front.)
