3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

The response to violence must never be violence.

The response to the genocide in Gaza must never be anti-semitism.

An eye for an eye does indeed make the whole world blind.

Lord have mercy on the families of the two Israeli government officials killed in DC last night.

Cover Art + Pre-Orders for my book are now live!

For first time authors like myself, pre-orders are critical to let my publisher know that there are ppl who would be interested in reading about justice from a decolonized Christian lens. I’d be honoured if you pre-ordered today!

The suffrage movement in America only found its legs when it became disruptive, and it was undercut by its refusal to include Black voices. We need both if we’re going to get through this.

I find that most of the critics of “third way” thinking have forgotten how to be critical of one of the other two ways.

Anyone who always defends the Right or always defends the Left is either lazy or untrustworthy.

Listen, things are fucked, but that doesn’t mean your accomplishments don’t matter. Wrote a book? Got accepted to a program? Recorded a song? One year sober? Whatever it is, share it. Maybe your joy will bring someone else a bit of joy, and we all need that.

I lost my job this week. Technically furloughed but it’s indefinite.

I have the privilege to rest for a short while thanks to some side hustling. Please pray for me and my colleagues who have a big unknown in front of us.

Welcoming our refugee/immigrant neighbor still matters.
