What does it mean to say that God is vulnerable, disabled even? Thanks to @lisadpowell.bsky.social for the great conversation! You can check out the full Personalist Manifesto(s) jam here: personalistmanifestos.substack.com/p/the-disabl...

1/2 of the civil rights complaints buried in the past month relate to disability.

Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible. Form here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...
WASHINGTON – Today, the U.S. Department of Education published the information collection for the 2026-27 Free Application for Federal Student Aid ( FAFSA®) form in the Federal Register, the first public step in the FAFSA development process. The Department is on track to launch the 2026-27 FAFSA by Oct. 1, 2025 as mandated by the FAFSA Deadline Act.

The Department also announced that current and future FAFSA forms will rightfully reflect the biological reality that there are only two sexes: male and female. Department officials will remove “nonbinary” as a gender identification option from the current year’s FAFSA form.  

“The Trump Administration will correct the failures of the last Administration and ensure students and families can easily access the FAFSA form in a timely manner,” said Acting Under Secretary James Bergeron. “Resolving ongoing problems with the 2024-25 form, reflecting biological reality by referencing sex identifiers, and beginning the process for the 2026-27 form on-time will allow the Department to earn back the trust of the American people. Families and students depend on the FAFSA  form to plan their futures, and any release delays or unnecessary politicization of the form is wholly unacceptable.” Screenshot showing open comment form on federal register site

Something American ECR academics might be interested to know is that NSERC and SSHRC just raised their post-doc stipend to $70k last year, so if, I dunno, a dictatorial monkey were to turn off your funding and you were looking for other postdoc options, look north. www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

Definitely going to miss Rev Dr Lauren bringing it back to Luther. “You know who did that first? Luther!”

If you run into me at #AARSBL24, you might get a bookmark for SPIRIT HOUSE (www.crossroads-spirithouse.org) or a postcard with a 30% discount on my book, BLACK RELIGION IN THE MADHOUSE (nyupress.org/978147982978...). Maybe both.

Find it hard to believe this line up of dream scholars are responding to my book on Sunday at #SBLAAR. Their comments are starting to come in, and I need to get busy with my response. Willie Jennings is up first! Unreal.

Describe yourself using 5 things probably in your backpack: 1) 4 pens, at least 2 of which have busted in a plane. 2) my journal which only gets an entry when I’m traveling so why is it in my bag? 3) a book I’ve been reading for 8 months 4) heart shaped rock my kids gave me 5) tide stain stick

Absolutely stunning work being done by @lisadpowell.bsky.social at the intersection of the “I”, body, feminism, and disability while delivering a prophetic word to wake up! A great selection of papers; well done Lisa! 💕

Was so happy and grateful to read this thorough and engaged review of my recent book! I'm still a bit amazed when people I haven't yet met read my work, and especially when they seem to appreciate it. :-)
