Here’s an unexpected treat: Tressie McMillan Cottom live-tweeting Love is Blind.
Today feels like one of the bad days. But as your mother always told you, silver linings hang out in the strangest of places. The brilliant Tressie McMillan Cottom, Associate Professor of Sociology at Virginia Commonwealth University, whose most recent book Thick was shortlisted for the National Book Award in nonfiction, has been watching Love is Blind. And she’s been tweeting about it.
I decided I needed something real and grounding, unlike the news cycle. So we are settling in to see what this #LoveIsBlind is all about. Some good nice moral wholesome television.

Anyway, I hope she keeps watching, and keeps tweeting. Until then, follow along at your leisure.
