Finished reading: Small Things Like These by Claire Keegan 📚
Happy to have submitted my paper about the Brethren in Canada – I’ve loved diving deep into the history of this movement, but I am glad to have a bit of a break now (as is my family)!
Finished listening to a couple of great interviews on the consistently fantastic Techtonic with Mark Hurst on WFMU: Peter Schmidt on the book “Attensity!” and Noah McCormack from The Baffler: “We used to read things in this country”. Mark Hurst is a gift!
Working on an extremely niche history paper, but grateful for the handful of people who are as interested in the topic as I am!
Watched: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers🍿 in theatres last night – truly a masterpiece. I would love it if they showed it in theatres every year.
This looks extremely good. HT to Mark Hurst for the recommendation! Attensity! by The Friends of Attention 📚
Made a bunch of recent updates to my blog, including a follow-up to an earlier post about reading the Bible.
I’ve been inspired recently from a number of directions: Mark Hurst’s Techtonic.fm radio show, August Lamm’s anti-tech activism, and the Luddite Club NYC. Lots to be hopeful about! thegivenworld.substack.com/p/the-par…
Recently, I unexpectedly encountered some distant relatives while reading Dante.
Is there a better phrase to describe what is happening in the church today than the one Jesus warns us to watch out for: “the yeast of the Pharisees and that of Herod”? Lord, preserve us.
