Currently writing and contacting my bank (Beyond Bank) and Super (kinda like USA 401K) - Australian Ethical Super- company to request they remove TESLA from thier investment portfolio. #tanktesla
I didn’t choose ethical finance to bankroll elitism, facism & billionaire autocracy.

New book idea -
“You didn't say thank you” why coercive communication tactics are a sign of wider bullying and power abuse

It appears Trurnp might have told Putin that he could bully Ukr into surrender, & if he does owe Russia or just wants to impress his hero dictator friend, Zelenskyy does in fact, hold all the cards.

Why are Trumρ s cabinet picks, economic & international relations giving Rebecca Welton early season 1 vibe?

“Do justice , show kindness, walk humbly.”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Love your neighbour as yourself”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep”

In a word :EMPATHY

“Afford special treatment to the more vulnerable members of the body”

In a word DEI …& EMPATHY

Kind of relieved to see the far right (let’s be clear:racist misogynist etc) contingent of Christianity being very open about what they actually think.
The other part of me is devastated to see people I thought would never accept blatant evil, still going along with it all.

I have said out loud multiple times i recent memory, we will just have to wait until they get picked up for a serious enough crime that they get locked up long enough to get the mental health support they need.
Why is this the only way?

I wonder what all the ‘reasonable 🔴 voters’ that argued D T never condoned or instigated the capitol hill insurrection make of his calling the perpetrators of that violence “J6 Hostages”….

Now I’m also here more because Zuck is trying his best to imitate Mu$k so I want to reduce my meta footprint to bare minimum.

Mostly here because threads keeps reposting my Instagram posts & I can’t be bothered figuring out how to fix that.

7/9, and have completed studies and taught :)

*trying to decide* how to import a couple key moments from the bird. Does “once got retweeted by @brianzahnd.bsky.social” go in my bio section, a post or a whole thread of it’s own?

Also Also Me:
Actually ADHD (probably AuDHD TBH)
Capable & equally chaotic,consistantly terrible at proofreading.

Attempted ally, accidental activist. Mostly because of the Jesus following thing.

Also me:
perpetual student and sometimes teacher of theology.

If I disappear I have likely got lost in a niche vortex somewhere around the intersection of neuroscience, social science, psychology, spiritual formation, philosophy and practical and/or liturgical theology.

Posting some intro notes so replies aren't my only feed on here.
