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.
