you know a bureaucracy is rough when it makes you feel like you're stranded on a desert island with 8 songs, the complete works of Shakespeare, a religious text, a book of your choice, and a luxury item

[Te Pāti Māori @Maori_Party]

Te Pāti Māori are not strangers to hate speech and online threats. This week however, a line was crossed.

Our Hauraki-Waikato candidate, Hana-Rawhiti Maipi Clark’s home was invaded, vandalised, and left with a threatening letter.

just found out my left wisdom tooth is nearing it's removal era. Hopefully this doesn't make me a wise right winger

@lorepodcast kia ora, long time listener first time commentor. In Lore 235: Privilege you mention "Protestant" being related to "Protest". Unfortunately this is a common misconception - Protestant comes from "Pro-Testament" in relation to their emphasis on the Bible vs tradition

Fun fact: apart from Adam’s name in a genealogical list in 1 Chronicles 1, Adam & Eve are not mentioned anywhere at all in the Hebrew Bible outside of Genesis 2–5.

Could you talk a bit about the depicted hand signal? Love the design.

enjoying a coffee courtesy of ghost mom & watching te whanganui a tara being consumed by fog has really improved my heart rate and headspace today.

Today I found out about a fairly new business that runs religious inclusivity courses for businesses. Did somebody say my degree does have future potential?

Tickled to see that after only one episode, the @data_over_dogma podcast is ranked 15th among Religion & Spirituality podcasts by Apple. Looking forward to overtaking Smith/Bytheway, the Robertson's, and Joel Osteen after the second episode.

@candidamoss I did all the art for my book. I’d be happy to do something for you.

Finally framed my Bachelor's in Communication Design, but I have nowhere to put it because I have too many Design & Reli books on my shelf 🤡

[Dan McClellan @maklelan]

@bluebloodcoug The Bible’s earliest story says Elhanan killed Goliath, but doesn’t identify a means. The later appropriation of the story on David’s behalf says David killed Goliath (מות) with his sword. Genesis 4 only says Cain killed him (הרג). No data support the historicity of either story.

Nothing gives me more faith in Religious Studies than part of the lecture being about analyzing Taylor Swift's song Karma

my ID is either on a fees hold due to StudyLink taking too long, or my ID outright doesn't work. This is actively a problem

@maklelan Stealing this:
“There are some interpretive decisions that we have to make when deciphering the Bible. You can either let commonly agreed upon scholarly data guide you to the intended meaning, or you can allow your desire to legitimize your own dogma guide you.”

@aonaintheattics my commute is officially the shortest it's been since intermediate, this can only end in nightmares

[elot @elotkoo]

the prospect of waking up an hour before my class tomorrow and not be running late is remarkable daunting, and probably the first real hurdle I've faced flatting in the city.
