Shout out to those who work on biblical portrayals of disability: what is the one/most important "fact" you want students to know? Currently writing a summary piece and wondering about how my criteria of what is essential compares to other peoples'...

One thing that happens when you make a film about sex abuse in evangelical churches is you get letters. Letters from fathers sharing what happened to their daughters, from women you know & don’t know, from women in their 70s & 80s who carried this burden in silence for 50+ years.


Reviewing books is not a chore when you discover that you really like the book 😁

For Our Daughters is an essential watch. Many of the same issues take place here in the UK. It’s absolutely enraging. I’ve never been more convinced that patriarchy is a sin. #forourdaughters youtu.be/IkES4X_qb6c?si…

Kiddos still think #bnts24 was code for Hogwarts and will not believe I wasn't sorted into a house. They think I am not telling them which one on purpose, though my daughter is adamant it is Ravenclaw because I "have a big brain"...
