Thank you for sharing the reading list! What a great idea overall too
!!!! Omg so cool
this is such an amazing concept for a class
“Today, as Silicon Valley leaders turn to the right, and particularly when they migrate to Texas, many are embracing the simultaneous celebration of entrepreneurship and Christian discipleship.”

There’s a frenzy (from believers and nonbelievers) about the Rapture happening today. The content reveals a lot about our attention economy with its focus on self-help, revealing secret knowledge, and the difficulty parsing through earnest vs ironic engagement. open.substack.com/pub/holyscro...
Are you seeing this post? It might be because of divine intervention. A study by @sarareinis.bsky.social and @corrinalaughlin.bsky.social shows the many ways the #ChristianTikTok community conceptualizes and makes use of the TikTok algorithm:
