What would you do if you had all the power? I wouldn’t give it up. In conversation with @naomialderman’s The Power, I wrote about how Jesus upends all our ideas about power and privilege. ab.co/3MmiLMX @ABCReligion

Sometimes your plans are awesome until you open the front door and get hit with the cold wind of reality. But, as the Norwegians say, "there is no bad weather, just bad clothes." Grab a better jacket and stay faithful to what matters.

This makes it clear that when universities and libraries spend sometimes hundreds of thousands on subscriptions they do not own the books and the journals. They just rent access to them. We pay millions of taxpayers money every year for an academic version of Steam. 1/

Coworker used “anyway” as an email sign-off instead of “best” or “warmly” or w/e and honestly that’s the only work mood left

Instead of calling it a “to do” list I’ve started writing “side quests” at the top to make it seem more fun and interesting and boy has that not worked at all.
