Hard to overstate how transformative Jane Goodall was as a scientist.

She took the best of the scientific method--empirical observation--and used it to push back on existing scientific orthodoxies.

Jane Goodall was not only a pioneering primatologist, she also campaigned more relentlessly and selflessly for the natural world than anyone I know.

A great soul if ever there was one

Jane Goodall has died at 91.

Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://wapo.st/476clLO

YES to @roxanegay.bsky.social: In "this framework, incivility is refusing to surrender to hatred, refusing to smile politely at someone who doesn’t consider you their equal, refusing to carve away the seemingly unpalatable parts of yourself until there is nothing left." #politics #justice #activism

Talking with my dad on the phone. Then…Silence.
Dad: “oh, hello. You’re not supposed to be here.”
Me: “who’s there?”
Dad: “there appears to be a cow out of place. Ope, no, well, three. Huh.”
Me: “aren’t you inside?”
Dad: “I’m going to have to call you back.”

This semester in my religion, gender, and sexuality class, I decided to mostly teach things published in the last 10yrs, including lots of stuff I haven’t gotten to really read.

First up is Muslims on the Margins by @katrinadalythompson.com. And goodness, what a lovely way to begin.

Oh—yes! Absolutely. Once I’m freed :)

I’ve been thinking about commissioning stained glass for the church—we replaced the windows but there’s so much potential — imagine a diamond t in stained glass. A lot of wheat.
