42.8% with long covid. This is far higher than previous studies. And very disturbing when we look at the effects of long covid on executive functioning - especially impulse control, prioritizing, and decision making.

We fast holding not to the persuasiveness or value of our worship but to the mercy of the God.

But its not a sociological or academic claim as such,... it's a confessional or personal one about the claims one acknowledges on oneself (response-ability).

IMO you can only make the confessional claim ("our") as a member of a community with a common rule/practice, or something like it.

And that is to name something idolatrous.

Depending on context

"toxic" or "harmful" is often to the point.... (although you do have to worry a bit about healthism)

But I think there is often value in naming the things we believe sit at the center of theologies and saying explicitly that is not my/our God, even if you would name it so.

Amnesty International is always going to be political, even if it’s not partisan. And it’s going to be non-partisan by being *critical* and picking fights with ALL the parties (because they all abuse human rights and treat political opposition in questionable ways).

β€œIt’s nice to do something that has political connotations, but is not overtly political, just emphasizing the common good and intrinsic human rights"

The common good & human rights *shouldn’t be political or partisan* but in fact they're both in this moment in this place

2 problems with all the β€œmorning routine” videos on social media:

(1) Almost all of these people only have to get themselves up. Where are the people they are responsible for getting up and out?

(2) They move continuously through a routine, where is the pause for *today’s distracting anxiety/πŸ’”*?

There were some questions that didn't make the cut on

Muslim & Christian feminist exchanges
Anthropologies of the good

But also my interests have changed and grown. It feels like more than 10 years ago. 2016 me would not have imagined this timeline. (2014 me almost moved to Waco for 6 years!)

Looking back at these,... I am much better at writing a research question than I was 10 years ago. Also, I can't believe they don't have more research skills instruction built into that program,... so much invisible curricula & you just hope you picked the right faculty to advise you.

Okay, so I apparently still have the files... and I couldn't remember what all the questions were so the short version:

I set 10 bibliographies,... I can no longer remember how many of the questions we had to sit as written,...4 maybe? And an oral.

My diss (much later) was a (passed) hot mess.
But I got high honors on the comps.

[[There is no job that values on being good at comps.]]

The Scale of Billionaires’ Campaign Donations is Overwhelming U.S. Politics

In 2024, the % of all campaign donations (i.e., $ raised) coming from billionaires was 19%.

Before Citizens United, that was 0.3%.

🧡Feels like shouting into the void, but it is essential to note that the Trump/Rubio gutting of the State Department and blowtorching of US diplomatic capacity and credibility is an accelerant to this spiraling war and will seriously undercut US/allied efforts to pick up the pieces after. 1/

Headline and subhead:

U.S. Tomahawk Hit Naval Base Beside Iranian School, Video Shows

The evidence contradicts President Trump’s claim that Iran was responsible for a strike at the school that killed 175 people, most of them children.

Good for the hed/dek writers at @nytimes.com just now:

Not "appears to contradict" or "is at odds with" or "may give rise to suspicions that."

Flat out: "Contradicts." "Video shows." About the US blowing up a school full of little girls.

And of course, terrible for the world.

Why now is the time to be loudly anti-war We don't need the clarity of hindsight to know war in Iranβ€”or anywhereβ€”will end in physical, moral and financial ruin.
