I read Mary Ann Koruth's December 17th, 2020 piece on WhoWhatWhy.org entitled, "MVC delays rule-making even as NJ license law takes effect in two weeks. 

The NJ Motor Vehicle Commission has still not implemented regulations in connection with A4743/S3229, despite the fact that the law, which has already been passed, was supposed to go into effect on January 1, 2021. I read a piece published on Nov. 20, 2020, on WhoWhatWhy.org, written by Mary Ann Koruth, entitled, "Undocumented NJ Residents at Risk Under New Proposed Rules." 

I read Brianna Theobald's (@Bri_Theobald) November 19th, 2020 piece on Nursing Clio (NursingClio.org), entitled "Susie Walking Bear Yellowtail and Histories of Native American Nursing."

I read Professor Koritha Mitchell's piece, initially published on November 10, 2020 in Electric Lit (electricliterature.com), entitled, "Toni Morrison’s 'The Bluest Eye; Showed Me How Race and Gender Are Intertwined." The piece is available here, https://electricliterature.com/toni-morrisons-the-bluest-eye-showed-me-how-race-and-gender-are-intertwined, and you can follow Professor Mitchell on Twitter @ProfKori.

I read my original copy of A Bargain for Frances, by Russell and Lillian Hoban. You can hear me turn the pages, hope that's cool. I have loved this story for pretty much as long as I can remember; hope you enjoy it, too.
