Fall 2026 School Update: I am in the depths of data collection and analysis. I am trying to have a draft of my dissertation done by Christmas. It will require a lot of hard work. Want to support me? Some wishlists: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... (Books that will grow my scholarship)

The NYT's anti-trans fear mongering was cited in a Supreme Court briefing that stripped away the rights of trans kids. They need to be fully blacklisted by queer people and their allies. Don't work for them. Don't use them for book press. Don't speak with them for stories. They made their bed.

I passed my field exams, and I’m off to get IRB approval. In the meantime, I got a reading list for the summer. If you’d like to read along with me, discover a new interest, or send me a book, here’s my Amazon wishlist. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

My last exam, the oral colloquy is Monday. I’m stressed beyond stress and fearful of a number of outcomes. Soon it’ll be over.

This week, I'll begin a month of comprehensive exams and an oral colloquy for my PhD. This is the final step before I get started on my research and dissertation writing.

Today has been a big review day. I finished my review of Narrative and got a good start on my Trauma exam. #FieldExams2025

Today in field exam preparation, I’m working on Oral history. Specifically, I’m reviewing Indecent Theology by Marcella Althaus-Reid. We’re waiting final dates, but it’s looking like less than 3 weeks until they start.

I just looked for my phone with one hand while the other held it. Is this what it meant by left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing?

So much has happened since my last post. Emergency spinal surgery, a host of complications. Six weeks of at home therapies. The week of 3 ED visits. The week of four attempted MD visits. Utter exhaustion during Christmas. This next week though, I graduate and start new primary care.

I'm too bisexual to pick a tense, and too process to stick with just one. #dissertationproposalwoes

As I was prepping this episode for video/captions, I was reminded how much I love @riverneedham.bsky.social, how her theological development has processed, and how very The Worst™️ Jonah is.
