Charlotte schools have increasingly segregated along racial and class lines since a federal judge’s ruling ended a 28-year desegregation program. The COVID lockdown has hurt everybody in the system—and widened the gap between haves and have-nots: charlottemagazine.com/discon…

The Modern Love column is always stunning but this is incredible.
“To die in the year of our lord 2020 is to die in so many places with deluging notifications, incessantly pinging you to remind you that your best friend is dead,” Jared Misner writes in Modern Love. nyti.ms/2SEvtcG

I can’t stop thinking about this heartbreakingly beautiful piece by @jared_misner about friendship and loss. It is a reminder that behind each #COVID19 statistic is a story, a life and those they left behind are now in mourning. 💔 #Coronavirustruth nytimes.com/2020/10/09/style… – at Manhattan, NY

A must-read essay about grief and survival. When I was in @jared_misner's shoes 7 years ago, I did not have the strength to write about it. I still don't. Not publicly anyway. That he managed to do this so beautifully is a testament to the woman he lost. I felt every word. – at San Francisco, CA
