Can Intellectual Humility Save Us from Ourselves? - JSTOR Daily Intellectual humility is defined as a willingness to admit you’re wrong. It could be just the idea for our self-righteous times.

If I could embed a microchip into Trance and Trusk, it'd contain this one series from JSTOR Daily on intellectual humility. Because by god, these boys need it.

Church in Kenya for L.G.B.T.Q. Africans Thrives Despite Attacks The congregation in Nairobi, Kenya, has been forced to move to 10 different locations over 10 years, and yet it has survived as a sanctuary in an increasingly hostile environment.

So proud of my friend Joseph for his work with the Fellowship of Affirming Ministries, to promote #LGBTQ+ inclusive worship in Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda.

The Black Blackface Performer Who History Tries to Forget Bert Williams, the first modern Black entertainment star, was born 150 years ago. The contradictions at the heart of his career are still relevant today.

If you read this, I encourage you to read the essay @dorothyjberry.bsky.social wrote about Bert Williams for JSTOR Daily in 2020. It provides more context and free access to related research. Link in comments.
