“Very clear” has come to mean “I will not take contrary thoughts seriously.” Which is neither how science works, nor how Christlikeness works.

Over-contextualization makes an idol of the hearers' culture and is the mistake of liberal Christianity. Under-contextualization makes an idol of the speaker's culture and is the mistake of fundamentalist Christianity. We all make both mistakes--but which do you do more?

A friend mentioned to me that the most common emotion ascribed to Jesus in the Gospels is sympathy/ compassion. It's a beautiful and encouraging insight to hold on to. We also discussed Jesus having anger toward sin – but a particular kind of sin. 1/6

…this explains why health inequities so stubbornly persist across the decades even as health problems change.” Nothing new about this under the sun, but so frustrating to witness how so many blithely perpetuate this pattern w/out historical or public health frame. Or caring.

One of the great scandals of the gospels is this: God is free to show mercy to those we deem are outside the bounds of receiving it.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's fear. Fear that my rights, my status, and my beliefs are under attack creates the fertile ground for hate to fester and grow.

Involving young people with care experience in shaping alternative care systems is paramount. #ListenToUs “I may not be an expert in child care, but I am an expert in my own story. I discovered that it is good enough to tell & people can learn from it”,” says Kristien from 🇧🇪.

"Rarely is the expertise of field collaborators recognised in meaningful forms such as authorship in scientific publications." We ALL have a role in eradicating parachute science (elite scientists take the data & run) & cultivating *real* collaborative partnerships w/locals! 👇🏻

It's time for another entry in my #OntoTips series. This one is all about the dangers of "shadow concepts" in biomedical ontologies. What exactly is a shadow concept, you might ask? 🧵 douroucouli.wordpress.com/2022/08/10/sha…

I’m writing thank you cards while listening to the FotR soundtrack, and I just had to pause for fear that I’d accidentally write “WHO GOT SALAMI!?” in the middle of one

We’ve justified all kinds of action, sometimes even harmful action, on the voice of, well, an activated fight-mode instead of the quiet whisper of God. As it turns out, spiritual discernment also requires bodily and emotional discernment. 4

The message we communicate to students when we don't accommodate mental health issues is that the "real world" won't accept their mental illness. Whether that's true or not, I don't know. But if it is true, that's not the real world I want to usher any student into. 5/5

Imagine if you never saw a tree lose it’s leaves and you did not understand the cycle of seasons. As the cold winter approaches you would become concerned that the trees will no longer have leaves and it has died. We live in a world of cycles—a majority of ones—we do not know.

Hey #botany Twitter - anyone know what this is? Small, hard and six-ridged, there were a bunch of them found near bird droppings on a friend’s porch in North Carolina.

Hey Burger King, I've been unable to get help from any of your customer reps in spite of reaching out several times via the online form and phone. How do I get ahold of someone to talk with for real?
