Transitioning from #rhetcomp scholarship to #publicwriting involves reimagining “ourselves as student writers” says @rhetrickery in his latest #FEN blog, “Trite as It Sounds, Writing for the Public Means Practicing What We Preach.”

So, fasting for Ramadan this month means not eating or drinking from about 530 am to 730 pm. Folks, be kind and forgiving to your Muslim colleagues during this month if we're just a bit chill and at times stare too long at you as you're sipping water.
Congratulations, Reed Issue 155 Contest winners!!! 🎉🎉🎉 #reedmag

If you unfortunately become a refugee, please try very hard to be white and from Europe. Countries all of a sudden find space and are welcoming. You are, after all, civilized unlike the rest.
