So… what did you think of our new web page?

Dave Morris

I loved the picture, but I was confused by the name Kindness of Ravens.

Mary Hays

Oh yeah. Well, I just like birds, and I was thinking about crows at first, because they’re so intelligent, but maybe they get a bad rap.

and then I was thinking about crows in literature…

Dave Morris

“Murder of Crows!”

Mary Hays

Right! Only then I thought about Ravens, because Poe, of course.

Dave Morris

Yes!

Mary Hays

And I looked up to see if people call it a “murder of Ravens,” but they don’t.

Guess what they call it

Dave Morris

I bet it’s “Kindness of Ravens”?

Mary Hays

Nope. It’s actually, an UNkindness of Ravens.

Dave Morris

Wow!

Mary Hays

But I was thinking that as an adjunct, I already feel like there isn’t enough kindness around here sometimes, and I thought, let’s go against the grain and be a KINDNESS of ravens.

Because the purpose of this page is for us to support each other in our work, and there is a kindness in that.

Dave Morris

Well that makes sense!

Mary Hays

So you don’t hate it? Do you think other people will think it makes sense?

Dave Morris

I don’t hate it! It makes sense! We should ask some other people if they get it, too, to make sure it’s making sense to our general audience

Mary Hays

Sounds good.
