Today’s amazingness was having the brilliant Eric A. Thomas hang out with my class on queer and trans Christianities. So good. If you haven’t read his article Tales from the Crypt on Mark 5, May I suggest some weekend reading?
Today I managed to give a seminar talk at 5am my time to a wonderful group of people at the Centre for the Study of Religion and Politics at St. Andrews. Technology worked and I was somewhat coherent. Do I win a prize?

I am super excited to be teaching a course on queer and trans Christianities this semester. That has not translated into actually completing the syllabus, however.

I did a thing. It was not on my to do list. So I added it and crossed it off. Might be it for today!

I am missing Marcella Althaus-Reid so much today as I listen to other amazing scholars reflect on Gustavo Gutierrez. I want to hear her take!

I am going to try very hard not to swear while being live-streamed and recorded tomorrow. This will be rough.
