I've been grateful for all of the new followers lately, and figure it's time for an introduction... so...

I'm Jeff! Formally trained as an academic (English literature), I figured out the tenure track wasn't grad school... and didn't much care for what it actually was.

Grateful to be gearing up for another gathering of old friends from college in a few days. It's been so good to reconnect with these guys! What are you grateful for today? #gratitude

@davidfrenchjag.bsky.social and I would likely disagree on many points of theology (I'm a mainline Protestant, he's an Evangelical); I agree with him fully that we've seen some remarkable displays of genuine Christlike behavior in the last couple of weeks.

Our top military leaders were summoned from their posts around the world so Trump, Hegseth, and their followers could feel like real manly men... how pathetic! Thank you @charlotteclymer.bsky.social

"That was the whole point of the event. It had nothing to do with improving our national security and military readiness. It was a role-play session for undeserving straight, white guys who could never hack it and resent those who could."
For the Smallest Men in the World
And a celebration of them.

Thank you @prof-peacock.bsky.social for sharing your experience as a faculty advisor for a Turning Point USA chapter. A great reminder that "...the messy work of democracy can be practiced, not just preached."
