It was such a treat to get to talk about Hearing Islam at Oberlin this week, catch up with @fchubbconfer.bsky.social, meet her lovely colleagues, and chat with stellar liberal arts students and musicians! All my favorite kinds of people.

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Finished my first fun read (i.e. not work) of 2025! @lailalalami.com's The Other Americans. Loved it. This was a smart multi-voice novel about racism and Islamophobia in America today, with a dark and contemplative mood, but not slow paced, and with emotionally complex characters.
