This morning I was home alone with the dogs. Came into the living room to discover that someone (not me) had turned on the TV and started an episode of Archer.
In other news, the puppy has decided that the TV remote looks like a chew toy.

Doing my annual required HR training today. Always annoying but I get why we do most of it.
But I cannot figure out why everyone on campus needs to do a 40min training on how Cleary Act statistics are compiled
Like that’s a huge amount of time to dedicate to something that’s like 10 peoples’ job

You didn't vote for mass deportations? Great. Show me. Call your congresspeople. Take to the street and carry a sign. Donate to immigrant advocacy groups. At the very least don't ask other people to do the work of redeeming you.

Extending the deadline for the NAAE conference submissions to June 15.
If you have an idea about the relationship between belief and unity (what is necessary? Why? How do Christians navigate moral or other disagreement?) please consider submitting!

Hi folks- CFP for the NAAE conference just before AARSBL is live. Please spread the word. A very-grad student friendly conference with fully online options.
“In Necessities, Unity”. Question is: what is necessary for unity? Why?

So- if GOP-ers could refuse to pronounce the Democratic Party’s name right for 40 years, what’s to stop everyone else from just routinely referring to Musk’s unconstitutional project as “doggy” ?

Back to the ordo amoris: ironically, if that’s the only moral consideration, you’d have to endorse a huge percentage of unauthorized border crossing. Why should a parent prioritize the needs and desires of foreign citizens over their children who would benefit from migration to a strong economy?

The more relevant Latin theological phrase is not ordo amoris, but libido dominandi - the lust for domination, a favorite phrase of St. Augustine's. Political spite, glee over the despair of others, "owning" others, trolling others, etc, are all born out of this impulse.
