ballparkin it I've probably seen about 6 or 7 giraffes in my life and they've all been whole giraffes so I'm having a hard time visualizing this.

"The story reflects the patriarchal norms of its time, but faith elements simply reinforce rather than challenge those norms. @ the brothel, Angelās traumatized body was in service to menās lustful desires; at home, itās in service to Michaelās hopes & dreams."šš@KatelynBeaty.
This weekend I went to see the new film adaptation of REDEEMING LOVE. It was hotter than I expected! It's also not quite the vision of Christian marriage we want faith-based films to be advocating for. My review for @RNS:

Such a privilege to present such an important analysis on outcomes for parenting foster youth at #SSWR2022 and to be a part of the #CalYOUTH family! šš½.
HUGE thank you to my #CalYOUTH sister @kierrablair for presenting my analysis on parental subgroup differences for foster care alumni this morning! If you see her at #SSWR2022, give her an air high five and convince her to get her PhD. We need more scholars like her in academia!

.@GovStitt is waiting for "a word from God" - have you considered He is speaking through the millions crying out for mercy? #JusticeforJulius.
Christians have a rich tradition of nonviolent civil disobedience. This is pastor Marvin Morgan, putting his body in the way of todayās execution. #GoodTrouble #JusticeforJulius

Praying for #JuliusJones today, who was given his meal last night & denied his phone privileges. If @GovStitt does nothing in the next few hours, the next time Julius sees his mom will be from the executioner's chamber. This is so unjust. #JusticeforJulius #EndTheDeathPenalty.

.@GovStitt, please do the right thing and grant #justiceforjulius. Your silence on your decision is deeply disturbing.
Dear @GovStitt , the life of Julius Jones rests in your hands. Please save his life, grant him the ability to hug his momma and make up for the 22 years already served for a crime he did not commit. #justiceforjulius

This is Christian nationalism and also should we all just decide that presidents and politicians are banned from using sacred texts to bolster their political agendas.
President Biden quotes from the Book of Isaiah before a moment of silence for service members:. āWhen the Lord says, āWho shall I send?ā ā¦ The American military has been answering for a long time, āHere I am, Lord. Send me.āā

Hard to read this and not recall the 100+ arrests that were made in Kentucky the same day it was announced no officers would be charged in the murder of #BreonnaTaylor. Two Americas.
Only 13 arrests have been made. What a joke.

Such a valuable resource of Black contributions to social work history! Thanks @justinsharty for making this so accessible. #BlackHistory #SocialWork.
I uploaded a guide on Black contributions to social welfare & social work history for a course I teach @UChicagoSSA to my @P2Phigher_ed page. It contains more than 100 historical articles+books. @SWHG1956 @cswemfp @NABSWofficial @SSWRorg @CSocialWorkEd .
