"It began to resemble what I once imagined church might be like, a church you could bear, where people laughed and enjoyed each other and did not care if they were right all the time or if other people were wrong." (Leif Enger, from "I Cheerfully Refuse") #crcsynod

1. PRETEND YOU DON'T KNOW THEM
MARK 3:31-32 — “Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him. They stood outside and sent word for him to come out & talk with them... Jesus replied, “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?”

“Theocratic dictatorships do not lie only in the distant past,” @MargaretAtwood writes. “There are a number of them on the planet today. What is to prevent the United States from becoming one of them?” theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…

“I believe wholeheartedly that the only way out of domination is love, and the only way into really being able to connect with others, and to know how to be, is to be participating in every aspect of your life as a sacrament of love.”--bell hooks nytimes.com/2021/12/15/books…

That Christian Disney dad is just the tip of the iceberg. Really smart @RDispatches piece by @joshparksviolin: "He wants to believe in magic, but wokeness is breaking the spell."
Which is a very evangelical thing, turns out... 1/8

Today, a jury did the right thing. But true justice requires much more. Michelle and I send our prayers to the Floyd family, and we stand with all those who are committed to guaranteeing every American the full measure of justice that George and so many others have been denied.

The voters have spoken, and they have chosen @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris to be our next president and vice president.
It's a history-making ticket, a repudiation of Trump, and a new page for America.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this happen. Onward, together.

Just remember. This is who you are. It’s who you’ve been all along. A country that prefers fascism to socialism. A country my family left because they felt it, they knew it, and wanted something more.
This is not as unbelievable as you’d like to believe. And we’re all sad.

Our student surveys are telling us our students don’t like zoom but also don’t like coming to class. Faculty need to fix this!

It seems to me at some point symbolic gestures from those who have the power to enact real change is another form of violence.
I have no declarations to make, just sincerely pondering.
