Kate McKinnon says Greta Gerwig’s Barbie movie script is “one of the greatest things” she’s ever read.

“It’s going to be (makes chef’s kiss sign), just you wait.”

I’m probably gonna die on this boring hill but: we need media literacy to be taught in K-12 and beyond. It needs to be part of how you learn to read and write at this point, how you consume, research, and communicate information. The stakes are too high to wait

BREAKING: US Soccer and USWNT have reached a settlement in their six-year fight over equal pay. The players will receive $24M, and USSF has promised to equalize pay between the men's and women's national teams for all competitions, including the World Cup. https://t.co/tqfyyEZ5jp

J&JW is only lacking hope if you are happy with the way things are.

If it’s the current state of evangelicalism that makes you hopeless, you don’t read @kkdumez or J&JW as hopeless at all.

Can't believe I'm degrading myself by wading into The Modesty Debate.🧵
One thing I learned really quickly as I got older and started meeting people from other countries is that things that seem really obvious to you aren't obvious at all and someone had to teach you the rules.

I’m researching embodiment and the incarnation of Jesus- it’s wild how often men connect embodiment to his flesh and blood death from a cross while ignoring his flesh and blood birth from a woman.

The death of Jesus is nothing without the life of Jesus and it began in a womb.

W/ the recent slanderous takes on #deconstruction, friendly reminder:
Derrida coined deconstruction
He was inspired by Heidegger’s Destruktion of the history of philosophy
Heidegger was shaped by Luther’s destructio
Deconstruction is at the heart of the Protestant Reformation.

[Diane Langberg, PhD @DianeLangberg]

Fear, which is the core of trauma, leads people to hide in darkness, silenced because words are inadequate. Trauma brings a sense of powerlessness. Traumatized people repeat things over and over, trying to grasp what cannot be understood and trying to carry what is unbearable.

No one is illegal. To call someone illegal is undignifying and undignified.

It's amazing how pride can stop a conversation and how humility can start one.

In unrelated news- my kid rolled over for the first time today so basically she’s ready for college and I just 🥺

[Be A King @BerniceKing]

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.

She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.

Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK

A dear friend, the closest thing I’ll ever have to a little brother, died yesterday

I’m five feet from the letter I started to him in Oct. but never finished because “life, etc.”

Now it’ll never leave that desk.

Dont be me. I’m begging you: Write that letter. Like right now.
