In true Minnesota fashion, one of my snow stakes has become a corn dog.

@SkylerJay_ Warm coat, epic scarf, gorgeous boots. And a great hat that you won’t use because it screws up the hairdo. :-)

@theaemrys @brookematejka Ha! I gotta listen.

In case you missed it, temps were 70 degrees higher than normal in Antarctica this week, and 50 degrees higher than normal in the Arctic.

@MannyM83 Thank you!

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?

[Thia Cooper @thiacooper]

Devastating! Such an amazing human.

@SkylerJay_ Oh no! Conference related?

[Thia Cooper @thiacooper]

@liammiller87 That one was rough!

@masonmennenga It always cracks me up. I’m like absolutely it’s about Jesus and the church. Now let’s talk about Jesus and the church having sex. Hmm, what might this mean?
