“Religious Studies, Theology, and Human Flourishing” is finally out! I cannot wait to feel a physical copy in my hands and to give one to my mom ☺️

The Ferengi represent the people who think the current American capitalist system, where profits are put above every single other thing, is both working and good for society.

I've been thinking about it since I saw that man's TikTok about it last night.

y’all ever think about how the Democrats haven’t won a majority of the white vote since 1964, and what the Democrats did in 1965

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.

The grocery store is buzzing this morning. People in West Philly are very excited to vote, talking about "making history tonight." The elders in the grocery store were also very nervous about the potential for disaster.

T’was the night before the election and all through the house…

Someone just said something, on the eve of Election Day, that made me think about how incredible, confusing, inspiring, disappointing, and unusual it is that I have multiple friends who were full adults when the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed.

@AmericanAir Do we know if the flight will definitely go out tonight? I didn’t expect so severe of a delay.

[Hector Kilgoe @HectorKilgoe]

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here, @AmericanAir?

@SEPTA_SOCIAL @SEPTA Thanks for the update!

[Hector Kilgoe @HectorKilgoe]

@MichaelBaysa That’s exciting! I didn’t realize you were at UVM now. We send a lot of our students there for pre-college courses.

[Hector Kilgoe @HectorKilgoe]

This honestly ruined my life.

Philadelphians hardly thought about Josh Shapiro before his name came up for VP. No one is pressed.

[Julia Terruso @JuliaTerruso]

Harris campaign staffer I just talked to: Relieved the decision is in, now just worried about what happens later today in Philly on Shapiro's home turf: "Is some asshole gonna boo?"

Democrats who attack progressives, why aren’t you progressive? What do you consider yourself? How do you define progressive?

I will not be using AI in the classroom. I will be strongly discouraging my students from using it. I have environmental concerns about the massive water and cooling needs of AI. I plan to make my students aware of its environmental impact as well.
