Anyone I know done any meditation / mindfulness teaching certification? Been thinking about that some and curious about people’s experiences.

Thanks! So funny how it’s all played out after but still grateful for the time and folks involved, a real gift.

Oh damn, nine years ago I successfully defended my dissertation: “Opaque Redemption: Whiteness, Theology, and the Politics of the Human.”

Never revised it for publication or anything but such a formative experience and group of people.

I wouldn’t recommend reading it, haha. But it is. The chapter “Against (White) Redemption” has some lines of thinking that have really stayed with me and is something I published separately in the journal Political Theology.

Random acts of senseless beauty 🖤

I’ve had it on repeat this morning. Sooooo good and some really lovely moments. Concluding tracks ends it all so well

Bright deep pink azalea blossoms with a yellow wheelbarrow and blurred houses and trees in background

Vibrant blossoms: an offering

Y’all: don’t miss this.

Yay wine!

And, the most important question: favorite animal?

It sounded so good on a casual skim and I’m so excited to give it a focused listen!!!!

Hey @jaxxology.bsky.social—Altars of Grief connection on this new release!!!

Derelict Heart, by Northern Graves 7 track album

Blackened doom with an Altars of Grief connection, as well as Subside, Urbain, and Wills Dissolve. Guests from Déhà and Marianas Rest, too.

Gonna be good. Has to be. Excited to dig in.

Northern Graves, Derelict Heart, released today.

Started with some depressing black metal and that is not a helpful vibe for me today. Palette cleanser: the new Inferi. Because it fuckin rules.

Not sure the context but so sorry and I’m grateful for you and sending extra care and good vibes your way

We’re all the best with our glasses and lovely faces!!!

You see this post a pic of you in glasses

I’m basically always in glasses but here I’m looking fancy with the glare on the lenses

Finding Peace With Eternity, by Amanda Kauffman track by Amanda Kauffman

Fuck it, my first single is out now. I hope you enjoy it, my friend @vanessafunke.bsky.social did amazing work on the vocals, and it's the first track I've recorded a solo for in more than ten years. Let me know what you think!

Sans Adieu, by Pilori 10 track album

Didn’t realize this was out today: new Pilori, blackened crusty hardcore death business, from France. Been looking forward to this one.

Definitely had the thought: would I try to find a new site or just give up

Rise in Young Men's Religiosity Realigns Gender Gaps While Americans overall have grown less religious, young men have bucked the trend and now outpace young women for the first time.

A divinely-ordained cultural status of domination: young Republicans men return to religion and churches (new data).

Oh goodness. I’m so sorry. Sending all the care your way!

I was thinking the other day how I gave the new one a good go, didn’t hate it, but also haven’t ever really wanted to go back to it

Bwahahahaha
