Reminder that, in recent days, children have rallied and protested for their freedom inside an ICE detention center where water has been described as "putrid" and meals reportedly contain “bugs,” dirt, and debris. This is where the kidnapped 5-year-old Liam Ramos is being held.

Tänk att man kan glädjas så mycket och vara så tacksam för sina barn. Ibland får jag särskild anledning till det i rättan tid. Man tjatar och står i med alla omedelbara behov och små kriser. Men så kommer omsorgspersonal med sådana lovord om dem att man blir helt tårögd. Känns så oförtjänt.

Calvin and Hobbes doesn’t get enough love for having very realistic parents who love their son but also are just constantly like for fucks sake. Plus they both look like they listen to podcasts. They are very podcast coded.

I don’t know how it happened, but I’m giving a paper about my thesis for none other than J-L Marion on Tuesday. He’s receiving the inaugural Jon Fosse prize from the king of Norway, and will spend the week giving lectures and talks here in Oslo. I’ll try to draw links b/w Fosse-Marion & Eckhart-Cusa

Excited that my little element on 'The Politics of Monotheism' is out! I provide a critique of Assmann, as well as twentieth century theological critiques of monotheism (Peterson, Moltmann etc). It's supposed to be open access for a few weeks, so take a look!
