so there just isn't as much need for these paranoid excavations of "evil amongst us," the evil has just made itself highly obvious, they have flags and slogans and a political party in charge of a country. woke 2 is about power: how do we gain it back and what do we do with it after.

I am writing a serialized novella (serialized in the sense that, in all reality, I will just write these at 11pm the night before lol) called "The Next-Ins" about the disciples who did not quite make the cut to be Apostles. This is for my K-5th Sunday school class to read.

Dimon practicing some risk management here is a big tell.
Dimon on why JPMorgan Chase is not funding WH Ballroom:
We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

Culpepper's Matthew commentary is steeply discounted right now ($50 if you use the coupon vs. $90 on the WJK website). Bought it to use for the coming lectionary year ⚓

I checked back on Twitter to see a post someone sent me and looked around. Everything is so dark and cynical and reductive. It's such a different mental health space than here honestly

++Rowan Williams: KB assumes "poverty is a lifestyle choice. Half an hour spent listening to the clients at any local food bank might persuade her otherwise. [How] could children or disabled people living in need be said to have failed in their responsibility? [This idea] is eccentric beyond belief"

Ordered some thing from Walmart dot com. They cancelled my order "because it was flagged by our policy review team" but didn't say what the problem was. Very annoying!!!!

Also recognize that this unambiguous use of the military to commit murder of helpless noncombatants as they fought for life is a direct reflection of the virulent white supremacy that has seized our government, where every Latino man is a gangbanger in a de facto state of war against White America
