Rip Carol Lynn Pearson. Her work has gotten me through some pretty rough patches.
Back in the day this religion prof at Byui posted Qanon and white nationalist ish on twitter and when starting to get blowback for it told her Boss I was trying to get her fired for saying “Jesus Christ is the light of the world”
My first panel was a round table on scholars on indigenous topics and their intersection of LDS church. #MHA2026lasvegas
Wheat & tares bloggers together at MHA2026 in Las Vegas (Rick Bennett, Dave Banack, Mary Ann Clements, me, Cheryl Bruno)
After breakfast our plenary was given by Susan Lee Johnson on captivity, slavery, and kinship on the Santa Fe trail and its intersections w Mormonism. #mha2026lasvegas
This mornings global Mormon studies breakfast at #MHA2026lasvegas featured a Clara Varjao Schettini, whose scholarship is uncovering women’s agency at the foundation of the LDS Church in Brazil.
If anyone wants to check my sources: one of my fave books I’ve read in the last 5 years. Huge perspective shift.
If prophets can see around corners how come they didn’t know Rexburg would need a bigger temple 20 yrs ago? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #RexburgWalmartTemple
Had a physical reaction to the sound of LDS conf today and had to ask Darik to listen on his earbuds. Happy Easter!
Yall - Byui let one republic come and do a concert in the mini LDS conference center (seats 15k, almost sold out). When I moved here 13 yrs ago we couldn’t clap during graduation because it was too sacred Gotta give em credit. Plus it was a great family concert: they blurred out the alcohol labels
I used to be a moderate mofem asking for baby steps from LDS church I’m tired to my bones of asking fragile men to create systems of interdependence with women. We could come up w new ways of doing things and not a binary of ordaining wmn or not. I’m reclaiming my time from that bullshit.
New Q15 probabilities just dropped for the LDS presidency. I was talking to a friend this weekend and he noted the theme of Oaks’ picks as prophet: we do not apologize. (Causse being PB over ensign Peak and Gilbert over CES retrenchment. Is Brad “what about the whites” Wilcox next??) #mormon
The white pipes of rexburg idaho were not up to this task. (I think the lacking bass clef hurt us the most but honestly it was all weak)
I cannot handle you rexburg. This is egregious. Warmest Xmas on record here ffs
STOP! This is a selfie checkpoint!You MUST repost with a selfie to proceed. On my way to work
Part of the Rexburg #NoKings kids club. Last time we had 50. This time over 150.
Meta took down this story I posted of Patriot front signs that popped up in rexburg recently. An international student sent it to a relative. Guess I can’t spread the word ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Idk why I think I could ever decide on a small meaningful tattoo on my shoulder… I can’t even decide which waterbottle to put vinyl stickers on
My face when I think about Clark Gilbert becoming a Q12 but then realizing he wouldn’t be leading CES anymore.
I talked my HS friend reunion into doing a hear me out cake. Apparently I love a family oriented king who can flex their forearms.
One of the things keeping me busy lately is deciding to become a plaintiff in this lawsuit filed today to stop the idaho private school voucher subsidy law. Honestly I’m a bit tired and need lots of naps
