We evacuated our kids out of Minneapolis this weekend and my spouse reports that as she drove them out of town she saw "multiple freeway exits where people are being pulled over." It feels like the Twin Cities is being subjugated by a hostile occupying force.

I've been at or around Yale Divinity School in some capacity for a decade. Characterizing the theological education at YDS specifically, a big question for students has been "is another world possible?" and if so (even if not), "how do we get there?"

Random PSA: Mpox is still circulating. If you didn't get both vaccine doses back in 2022, you can still get them. You can ask that the vaccine be given subcutaneously (which doesn't cause a rash). I recommend doing this, not just for your own safety but for you friends and neighbors.

I'm good at my job. I saw a book on the shelf whose title was Kill Hole, and I thought, that's probably related to my work. Sure enough, it's an allegorical novel about AIDS.

Many students at this point have never been detached from screens in one form or another since they have known themselves. I think in ways reminiscent of past forms of civil disobedience, we should be thinking carefully of how various tools come pre-packaged w the ideologies we otherwise critique.
