Thanks LaGrange College! They asked me what my favorite spot on our campus is for the photo. I told them right next to our student research! BTW, note my baseball tie, in support of our LaGrange College Baseball Team.

This guy's got a secret no one can find out about. He drives out to the middle of a field. Will he have second thoughts, chicken out, or give in? Find out in 250 words in my microfiction piece titled "Anybody Could Be That Guy," published by Mythic Picnic.

While enjoying the book "Atmosphere" by Tara Jenkins Reid, I thought I would share "The Very Error of the Moon," which speculates on whether the @MoonLanding50 Moon Landing was faked or not. Thanks @WhiteCat_Pub

Dr. Meares was a @LCPanthers LB Conference Champion from 2008, who took his Augusta University students to GPSA too. We caught up with LC POLS Graduate Seth Golden's dad, former State Representative Tim Golden, a distinguished speaker. Plus we got to see Cindy Ingram Bonner too!

I can't thank Jenna Pittman for all she's done, and is doing, for our @LaGrangeCollege Political Science program. Her Georgia Political Science Association presentation was about the unsung heroes of the Stonewall Uprising.

...one which incentivizes personal savings. Ryan Avin received compliments from other political science professors there afterwards, doing a great job for the whole @LaGrangeCollege team.

LaGrange College Political Science and LC History double major Ryan Avin was sharp in his GPSA conference presentation debut, presenting our iOMe contest finalist paper about a different kind of financial literacy test....

Curt Bonner was amazing. Fighting off an illness, he presented of his research on the Midwest from Democratic to Republican at the GPSA Conference in St. Simon's Island GA. Isn't that just like a @LaGrangeCollege Political Science Major and @LCPanthers @lcbaseball21 player?

Thanks so much @NoirScreenlight for publishing my short story "The Gravedigger" in @PistolJimPress. You'll definitely think twice about sports betting after reading this!
Another sports betting story for today!

This is what the right does. I know bcuz I used to do some of it as well back in my divisive right wing asshole days. It’s all about spreading fear among the MAGA base. Fear of brown people, black people, and Muslims. It’s all about scaring them. It’s just so damn wrong.
Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Maddie's the first LC presenter who had to deliver her first conference paper without seeing a conference presentation before! But pressure is nothing new to this @LaGrangeCollSB softball pitcher. Professors raved about her paper. @LaGra

Here's the first of several Georgia Political Science Association stories. @LaGrangeCollege Political Science Major Maddie Chauvin gave a flawless debut presentation about Batson v. Kentucky, the racial composition of juries, and reform attempts.

About 7 in 10 Americans say their grocery costs have risen in the past year, while about 6 in 10 say their utility costs have gotten higher. Roughly 4 in 10 say the same about health care, gas, and housing. 👉🏻 https://t.co/Wt6IFFb8qc
