Nothing very exciting, but in primary we did both "This Little Light of Mine" and "I'm Gonna Live So God Can Use Me."

Back from Japan with book reviews and news! Less reading than usual, but at least three of these are going on my all-time favorites list.

A slightly spoiler-y post about religion in Brandon Sanderson's latest secret project.
"Patji represents a god who wants us to suffer opposition to help us grow, a Latter-day Saint idea best reflected in 2 Nephi 2 and its discussion of opposition in all things."

Well, I guess it's time for me to invest in some of the new shiny editions. This happened while reading aloud to my youngest last night. At least I now have an easy bookmark!

Time to celebrate Star Wars Day the way the Bard intended. May the force be with thou!

This is my favorite from that list. I love how it conveys the joy and urgency of the message of the atonement.

Served up this ad today. As a college instructor, this makes me angry. Legit encouraging students to cheat as a way to make money. I mean, we could*pretend* it's encouraging students to use it to review concepts for finals, but we know that's not real. So obviously unethical.

Similar to the board game Tsuro.

Happy to return to ICFA this year! I'll be presenting part of my thesis on the Stormlight Archive in about 15 minutes. Then I can relax and enjoy the rest of ICFA. #ICFA #ICFA2025

Enjoying the Belief Structures and Philosophy panel at #DragonsteelNexus #dsnx24

You know this is my home territory, but I'm still making a lot of new connections. Great panelists!

Name a TV show you feel like no one remembers but you:

Enjoying the Wayfare launch party as usual. May it live long and help a thousand artists and writers bloom!

Neil Postman hitting the nail on the head, as usual.
