I have been running on the elliptical most days for over a decade. It used to be a way to push my weaker muscles and allow myself to rely on my stronger ones to keep going. I run half an hour exactly.

On newsstands now and evidently topping some friends' Apple podcast lists, my latest, for Elle Magazine.

It's a love letter to those women who were sold a #tradwife life, from socials or their church. It's about women helping others get out.

Wow, @ryanburge.bsky.social analyzed ARDA data and shows rates of American belief in conspiracy theories. WOW I feel like a (too trusting??) outlier.

Also, the "South Dakota Crash" was made up.
Or maybe that's why you've never heard of it... ;P

I have sad news to share. My mom, Lois Stankorb, passed away in her sleep yesterday, listening to opera on her beloved NPR.

All the good I have in this life is thanks to her.

Oh my, am I excited to have an advanced copy of @bethallisonbarr.bsky.social's Becoming the Pastor's Wife in my hands! This is going to be a fascinating bit of history.

Wow, I loved this audiobook. Time jumping with bits of mythology.

My favorite part of last week was showing up at my mom's in time for happy hour and seeing their very Elvis entertainer put her on the mic for You Are My Sunshine. ❤️☀️

The highlight of my trip to San Diego for #sblaar24 has been meeting my fellow religion journalists. So much care and deep reporting from this bunch! (This was for my profile last year about @christabrown.bsky.social for VICE.)

This week I pulled off a big surprise. My mom's facility had its Thanksgiving dinner and we snuck in her china.

For most of my childhood, this was the fanciest thing in the house. So many other things disappeared to the pawn shop (and never came back), including her engagement ring.

Such a fabulous day at Books by the Banks! This photo of books was toward the end of the day. Sooo many copies of #disobedientwomen went out to new readers today.

People kept telling me it is timely. Oh, how I wish it wasn't *quite* so timely, but grateful to have a model for moral disobedience!
