RIP Walter Brueggemann. A giant of the Hebrew Bible and a theological pioneer whose scholarship has been deeply influential and inspiring. Will be sorely missed 😢

I know there are probably many people advising the WH Press secretary, but boy, she really is the face of what is irritatingly unintelligent. I mean, her response about the sacking of the Congress library librarian? I've scratched every part of my head and I'm still like wtf?!

Few more days left, friends! Closing day is the 25th!
Dear friends, consider submitting a proposal to the Islanders section at SBL in Boston. We're looking for papers on how climate advocacy can influence our reading of biblical text/s. You don't have to be an islander to submit a proposal, but you must be an advocate for climate action!

Samoan toxic masculinity is alive and well.
Way to go, boys, show those palagis staying at Taumeasina how tough we are! We can throw chairs around too! Wow, so strong!

I really thought it wouldn't happen to me. I really did.
But it did.
I taught my 12year old son how to answer a landline.
His response when I had a laugh about it: "C'mon Dad, I'm not ancient!"
He is now grounded for a month.
But it did.

As a proud Samoan/Pasifika Islander, I'm looking forward to watching #Moana2
But
As a proud Samoan/Pasifika Islander, I also know that something (or a number of things) in the details and the way the story/ies are being told, the movie will annoy the hell out of me. I hope Disney didn't stuff up!

The #SBL Islanders section will be hosting two sessions, one on Indigenous/Settler readings and the other on (Islander) Nomadism and Identity. Fantastic lineups for both sessions. Hope to see you there.
