Mother, Professor: Mofessor. I think I'm funny; you may not. I study online groups and virtual communities, but I am NOT studying you. All typos are the result of my enormous thumbs. All thoughts are my own and, clearly, Reviewer 2 hates them.
The first week of March 2020, I took a study abroad class to Berlin. There are many stories to share but the best one is that two of the students from that trip are getting married. Following their love story makes me so happy. What a story for them to tell their grandkids!

So, here's my radical theology: people who shout "JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS!!!" Huh. Jesus was an illegitimate, illiterate, itinerant prophet who was killed by the government. We call him "king." But think who is illegitimate, illiterate, and itinerant in your community. That is Jesus.

At this stage of my career, few things cause me to write: HOLY SHIT! In the margins of an academic article. Here is one: postivie emotions reduce the ingroup/outgroup effect. Positive emotions reduce racial bias. WOW. This could inspire a whole new area of my research!

We have a Rebel Resistance flag by our Ukrainian flag, both flying off our front porch.
