[Reading-hall-of-fame] Re: Third Act

And these are the literacies we need to successfully negotiate if not
control crises and threats to our well-being, especially wrought by

with critical literacies plus some that are probably crisis- or
threat-specific?  And maybe a heavy dose of empathy?

This is really a question.
