ICYMI: Beluga whales need your help! The Cook Inlet, where these sensitive whales live, is being eyed as the new home for an underwater #DataCenter. The noise alone could spell destruction for these precious animals! Don't let Cook Inlet belugas become the latest casualty of the #AI boom.
Save Cook Inlet Belugas From an Underwater Data Center
The Trump administration is considering a preliminary permit application for an underwater data center in Alaska, right in the middle of critical habitat for endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales. Tell ...

Another thought-provoking book release this week! In *Weapons of Worship*, @rickpidcock.bsky.social shows how the rhetoric of Christian worship as warfare and violence against the "enemy" has taken on a sickening, nationalist reality within white evangelicalism in the US. 🧵
Love to see it! Spotted @jaredstacy.bsky.social's *Reality in Ruins* out in the wild today at the @barnesandnoble.com in the @mallofamerica.bsky.social #realityinruins
Just arrived! American Caesar by @bradleyonishi.bsky.social couldn't be more timely. He remains one of the most compelling voices calling out the scourge of white #ChristianNationalism today. This book unpacks the shift from a "missional" Jesus to a "King Christ." @stmartinspress.bsky.social 🧵 1/5
PSA: The overwhelming support for Israel among conservative white Christians in the US isn't rooted in actual foreign policy but is drawn from a radically shallow theology where the modern state of Israel merely serves as an idealized prop for an apocalyptic "end times" fantasy.
I miss the person I was before I heard of Sydney Sweeney.
Something odd I've noticed among white conservative evangelicals in my circles is an almost cheerfully naive adoption and integration of AI. Not quite sure what to make of it.
New book day! 📚📭📦 @liveright.bsky.social. I can't wait to dive into Live Laugh Love by @kkdumez.bsky.social. Jesus and John Wayne was crucial to my faith deconstruction, opening my eyes to the patriarchal currents running through conservative white evangelicalism. 🧵 (1/5)
"If a man were in an ecstasy, as Saint Paul was, and knew that some sick man needed him to give him a bit of soup, I should think it far better if you would abandon your ecstasy out of love and show greater love in caring for the other in his need." — Meister Eckhart, "Counsels on Discernment"
“O Lord, save Thy people and bless Thine inheritance, grant victory to the faithful over their adversaries. And protect Thy commonwealth, by the power of Thy Cross.” —Troparion of the Holy Cross Artist: @artofmarza.bsky.social (artofmarza.com/) #artofmarza #sacredart
I still have so much to learn. How exciting!
"Prayer is a conversation in which God's word has the initiative and we, for the moment, can be nothing more than listeners." — Hans Urs von Balthasar, Prayer
Just the right mix of dystopian techno-horror and existential cringe. "The Pope has spoken. The machine has answered." #AI #magnificahumanitas
To wed the Gospel to the MAGA movement is to scoop up Judas’s discarded silver and betray Christ again for a fleeting taste of power.
"Prayer is God's life returning to God." —Rowan Williams
Some joyous news to share! Take my life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee. Take my moments and my days; let them flow in endless praise, let them flow in endless praise. #episcopalian #ordination
Looks to be another challenging and illuminating read on the legal roots of vigilantism, providing vital context as we continue to confront and challenge the realities of white supremacy and White Christian nationalism. @gauthamrao.bsky.social @uncpress.bsky.social 🧵 1/4
Up until now, I haven't enjoyed the newer Jurassic Park/Jurassic World movies, but I'm unexpectedly really enjoying Jurassic World: Rebirth so far! 🦕🦖🧬

When I approach scripture, my primary question is: "How are the poor, marginalized, and oppressed interpreting this text?" For me, that is how I gauge if my reading aligns with the heart of Jesus.
Just arrived! Looks absolutely fascinating and challenging. Can't wait to dive in. @sarahstankorb.bsky.social @broadleafbooks.bsky.social 🧵👇 #Exvangelical #FaithDeconstruction #DamnedIfSheDoes
Took about 20 years. And I never thought a book about enslavers using deputization to give themselves policing power would be relevant to our times. But we are where we are. My book, White Power: Policing American Slavery, is now available for preorder. a.co/d/29c7EIP
Kind of amazing that we live in a time where you can discern the moral and intellectual integrity of someone by the name they call two bodies of water in the Northern hemisphere.
