Reading @karenod.bsky.social ‘s (fantastic) ‘Broken Bodies’ on a Saturday morning with tea and a nearby cat: this is why the weekend was created. My research assistant is not being very helpful, though

The thematic issue of Religion I’ve been guest-editing is finally out! It is titled “The Philosophy of Religious Studies”. The articles contribute to the emergence of a cohesive subdiscipline that takes the academic study of religion as a subject in its own right www.tandfonline.com/toc/rrel20/5...

🍯 🍎 Shana tova to all who are celebrating– may it be a sweet new year. And for us all— may it be a year of every goodness, with collective liberation for a more whole, healed world– community by community, institution by institution, relationship by relationship. We are how we will get there.

Everybody— 

may it be a year of love 
and laughter 
and connection 
and inspiration, 
of learning 
and delight, 
of just action 
and righteous generosity, 
of truth-telling, 
creativity, 
bravery 
and reaching out 
and gathering in, 
of solidarity 
and dignity 
and joy 
and all of our collective liberations towards a more whole, more healed world–

One unfortunate and unexpected thing about getting diagnosed with #ADHD was the judgement. The reactions varied from “everyone seems to have it now 🙄” to “don’t use it as an excuse😒”, and none were supportive. What I thought would be a beginning of healing process just added more stress and struggle
