Feeling very grateful to the student who wrote LOL in the margins next to my (idiotic and goofy) joke in their reading quiz. Having my sense of humor validated like that is almost as good as the students who nod along during lecture.

Anyone with even a cursory high school civics class knows this is not a thing. Sound the alarm to all that this is not how the American political system created by the Constitution works. Saying "the law/nothing matters" is surrender & I'm not willing to give up. Way too early for that.

A bit of light in these dark days. This is my church and I can't even tell you how beautiful that day was when we reaffirmed Zach's baptism with his chosen name. I hope these lines from Zach's mom find the people who need to hear them. pcusa.org/news-storyte...

Professional historians survey the historical record and draw conclusions out of the sum total of evidence they survey. In sharp contrast, "originalists" [sic] start with a conclusion they want to justify and then scour the historical record to find some way to prop that up.
