Is it possible to exorcise bowel movements? Asking for a constipated toddler.

@tsnofficial.bsky.social caught red-handed using AI to write articles (n.b. Logan Cooley is a very good player, but has never been close to winning the Art Ross Trophy).

See, prioritizing other transportation methods doesn’t need to be scary! It’s not a zero-sum game!

Planned on tackling a bunch of grading over the weekend. Instead the family got sick. You know it’s bad when I wish I was grading.

Why are they all American?

“‘Peace, peace,’ they say, when there is no peace.”

Turns out I am petty enough to boycott publishers who don’t ship gratis copies to Canada.

Sitting down to write some acknowledgments, send me $5 if you want to be included.

I can’t make it, but ever since having kids, cars are my biggest source of anxiety.

Hey, check it out, it's @jeremybergen.bsky.social!

Course prep (your guess is as good as mine)

Anybody interested in discovering what Christian theology is all about? Spoiler alert - it's way more interesting than memorizing a bunch of "right answers". I'm teaching an intro class this winter that's available online or in-person and is super affordable to audit. umanitoba.ca/st-johns-col...

Check out this picture of my great-great-grandpa. What a Mensch.

Heard from a pastor yesterday who’s going to be leaving his job because the church won’t accept and include his autistic wife. Churches, do better.
