#writing at the end of #empire and doing so with hope for a new generation is hard work! I’m struggling to put the final pages on this manuscript because everytime I find #hope and #love something breaks my heart. #writers please help!

Long read: ‘The university sector has been bloated to an unsustainable level and is now bound to decline; the questions are by how much and how will it happen,’ writes Lincoln Allison #academicsky #edusky

Community Colleges Fear Proposed Changes to Pell The House’s budget would strip Pell Grants from many part-time students. That’s bad news for community colleges. #HigherEd #EDUSky #AcademicSky bit.ly/3T22tuD

Pope Leo to 11 new priests: “Consecrate yourselves to the people, without separating, isolating, or turning the gift you’ve received into a privilege. Pope Francis often warned us about this, because self-centeredness extinguishes the fire of the missionary spirit.”

As a #researcher, do you want to connect with funders, the media, the public or policymakers? Start by thinking like a storyteller, writes Erin O'Dwyer of @sydney.edu.au: ow.ly/HpfS50VZ2WV #research #academicsky #impact #scicomm

Cornelia Powers absolutely is spot on with #chaplaincy and #faith #interfaith and changing roles. www.theatlantic.com/family/archi...

This is the challenge. When anxiety is high, it’s easy for people just to propose to do MORE and good things. But are they the right, faithful, impactful things?

Calls from @natsecsoc.bsky.social for religious colleges’ access to student loan funding to be reviewed, with focus on spiritual beliefs and values said to be incompatible with English regulator’s approach to academic freedom www.timeshighereducation.com/news/funding... via @helenpacker.bsky.social

What happens when you gather #healing centered #leaders? They organize and dream of a healed future. Some photos from our #emerging leaders gathering. #leadwithlove with @patrickreyes.bsky.social

#prince #healing @auburnseminary.bsky.social had an amazing conversation with Pamela Ayo Yetunde. If you missed the conversation yesterday, it’s up on YouTube! youtu.be/CHNbK1jbpHA?...

Amazing how so on point Andor is.

I love this article and for those who know me know I love Florence and the machine! Love love love

#highered #graduate #academia what accreditors do is provide process for peer-evaluation with voted on standards and membership. This is an an attempt to put in the market even lower barriers for ideological supremacy and control over what is taught, not QA. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/u...

Dc your politics and your pollen are killing me.

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

Pope Francis, the first head of the Catholic Church from the Americas who became a symbol of hope and change during his papacy, died Monday at age 88. He was the first Jesuit pope, the first Latin-American pope and the first pope from outside Europe in at least 1,000 years. to.pbs.org/3EjlyFb

Rip. A Pope unlike all others.

“Violence has a stranglehold on us. Inside every nation, and the world at large, mistrust, resentment, greed, and the race for power are manufacturing a dark, desperate universe in which each man is condemned to live within the limit of the present.” #camus Columbia #univeristy 1946 #greed

#easter #jesus #resurrection #liberation thoughts following Walter Wink @auburnseminary.bsky.social

“The function of the university is to help men and women save their souls, and in so doing, to save their society: from what? From the hell of meaninglessness, of obsession…of systematic lying, of criminal evasions and neglects, of self-destructive futilities.” Thomas Merton #academia #highered

American #history may be fraught with injustices, but also with far more brave Americans willing to stand up for #justice each and every time. Preserving our investment in #education is vital for continuing this legacy. 🇺🇸✊🏻 #academicsky #edusky #theresistance

Ryan Coogler! Killing it and can’t wait to see this film.

Vine Deloria shapes much of my writing, and grateful for Philip’s reflection here in the @theatlantic.com #indigenoussky #indigenous #custerdiedforyoursins

This! #diversity

#cat friends. This is Hamilton. He has three legs. Adopted him after he was rescued after being shot by some kids in a public park. He is my best friend.

My guy! Yes!

#nonviolence is not giving up or posting to sites like this - though I believe critical awareness and education can take place on social networks. We are recovering Walter Wink’s work @auburnseminary.bsky.social and he would tell us it is Jesus’s #thirdway that is nonviolent, an approach…

I am for #academicfreedom and I’m for #academicaccess where were they when it was time to push back to ensure more of us have access to research universities.

#rfkjr should not be leading this department. This is uninformed, not backed by any science, and harmful to those with an #autism diagnosis. Loving my fam and pushing back against people like him is the hardest part of my parenting and advocacy work!

Beauty of Nature Chamaka Daham A family of Xolos, one of the most ancient dog breeds in the world, originally from what is now Mexico. Native Americans, they were guardians of the night and the underworld, protectors against evil spirits, and guides of mortals during difficult times.

You know who I get to work with…loving and brilliant people like @revemmaj.bsky.social @auburnseminary.bsky.social

Approaches to #spiritual #nonviolence are being updated through #practice and #experience. I am thinking about opening up some workshop style work (for free). Who would be interested? It would be drawing on what I’ve done in the field, Thurman, Wink, #Indigenous #BIPOC folks and an online format.

I love where I work! #faith #leadership

Aces is important to understand. It is both necessary in the #leadership work I do, #healing adults and pointing them to help create #meaningful and #loving childhoods for the next generation. This is our generations work.

@auburnseminary.bsky.social back where it started. #leadwithlove

This is an important reflection. @auburnseminary.bsky.social we have been talking with partners about #trauma and #trauma-informed care in the helping industries, and it is clear there is a very little depth to leaders’ understanding of it and the science behind it. Worse…

We should be ashamed. #children looking for a better life should be embraced by every person, home, institution, and government. Navigating our legal system is hard enough when you are an insider, add a long, lonely, and unwelcoming journey. This is just shameful. apnews.com/article/trum...

It’s more than annoyance, note in the research the role #gatekeepers play in this! It’s padding your stats and it hurts the field and the conference! Stop it. lol no more posting how busy you are presenting at all of the sessions.
