    Not proposing a talk because you feel you're not an expert? Not being an expert is actually a plus when teaching. Experts suffer from "expert blind spot", they know things so well they often can't explain them, & they don't realize the mistakes beginners make. Submit a talk!

    Alabama, please get out and vote for Doug Jones. He's committed to funding rural hospitals, quality public schools, and increasing the minimum wage. He'll do the hard work of helping make the lives of ordinary Alabamans better.

    Tired of people invoking Muslims in the same-sex wedding cake case. Muslims regularly sell you alcohol, drive you home when you’re drunk, and open their hotels to unmarried couples without imposing their beliefs on you.
