Still recovering independent scholar of Violence Studies and Feminist Theology. I'm a book collector, audiophile, & recovered fountain pen addict. My interests include history, astronomy, literary theory, climate, radical geography, neuroscience, ontology, space and place, ecology, sociology, anthropology, and the relationship between technology and identity, or how society and institutions may evolve towards a humanitarian worldview ahead of technological development.

#PTSD, personal and communal, should be expected and anticipated for anyone in a position to care for others.

What I can say with absolute objectivity is that the political divide in the world and the Right's *intentional* evil, burdening the public, including the anti-theist left, it only goes further to prove the existence of an Abrahamic God, which anyone could see if they have done sober close readings of the reference texts - not just what is taught about those texts. This is what I call a historically minded sociological theology. The horror is real.

I am uncertain how it is not obvious to more people that Republicans couldn't get this far without Democrats being in on it. #USPol
What the world ultimately needs is a Václav Havel moment (no, by that I do not mean a man). And it is deeply unfortunately how many historians would not know what I mean by that. #History #histodons

Well. I didn't know #AI girlfriends were already a thing. Not surprised, but doesn't do much for my lost hope in humanity.

Uncharted territory: do AI girlfriend apps promote unhealthy expectations for human relationships?

Chatbots such as Eva AI are getting better at mimicking human interaction but some fear they feed into unhealthy beliefs around gender-based control and violence

Now. To be clear. As much as I know about music, I wouldn't recognize a #TaylorSwift song if I heard one. I have no idea what her songs sound like and I have 0% interest. That being said, this worship - and forgiveness - by so-called #Swifties in the Philippines has nothing to do with music just as the idol-worship of Swift in the rest of the world has nothing to do with music. It is about worshiping capitalists. #NPR *danced* right around that point. #capitalism

#FindsFriday! One of the oldest known musical instruments in the world: a #Palaeolithic #flute made from a #vulture bone some 38,000 years ago! This is one of eight known flutes found on the Swabian Jura. The finds suggest that music played an important role in this region.
Found in the Hohle Fels cave near Schelklingen.

On display at Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren.
