                                              1. Ok, friends. My Twitter “drafts” are a mess, but some of them spark joy. So… this is going to be a long, self-indulgent thread of random tweets I didn’t post for some reason but don’t quite feel like deleting. 1/N

                                      If you feel like tweeting but don’t know what to post, my suggestion is either (1) don’t or (2) amplify a grad student whose work/twitter you admire

                                    This strategy for structuring a fundraising pitch should also work for teaching or presenting, more broadly. Fundamentally, all these activities are about motivated communication. @BabsonEship/1176609244466094083

                        This is the one, folks. All I’d add is that affirmative answers to Jamin’s suggested questions are complements: You’re more likely to like people whose values/priorities you share, which means their happiness is a better predictor of yours. t.co/SmeE8UjFGU

        “Their sleek promotional materials scream ‘Instagrammable Friends episode…,’ or perhaps just ‘Coke commercial sponsored by Wayfair.’ Their roots, however, lie someplace older and grubbier: the low-budget single room occupancy hotels, or SROs, of the early 20th century.” @sarahsholder/1137016359836049409
