Some years ago, when I was academic dean at Philander Smith College (now university) in Little Rock, I hired Pat to chair the psychology department there, and then discovered that she attended Ouachita Baptist University when my uncle was academic v.-p. there. My aunt was her English teacher at Ouachita, and she was in school with a number of my cousins, including two who are now Baptist ministers.

I don't actually do church any longer. As I told my friend Wendell today after he reminded my husband and me that we always have a home at his church, like a lot of gay folks, we carry a certain among of heavy baggage when it comes to church. We bear scars that are in many ways unique to the LGBTQ community, in connection with church.
Even so, we're deeply grateful to our friends Wendell and Pat and to the loving people of New Millennium.
"Guess what? God is woke. You can't have Resurrection Sunday without having a woke Jesus. … The wokeness of God is what we celebrate on Easter Sunday."
Thus says my friend Wendell Griffen, pastor of New Millennium Baptist church in Little Rock (Arkansas, USA). I was invited to New Millennium today by Wendell and his wife Pat as their newest granddaughter was welcomed and celebrated by the church with a dedication ceremony.
In Canadian election, top #Conservative candidate vows to end ’#woke ideology’ in science funding | Science | AAAS https://www.science.org/content/article/canadian-election-top-conservative-candidate-vows-end-woke-ideology-science-funding “The vow—which echoes rhetoric used by U.S. President Donald #Trump’s administration to justify canceling research grants and shutting down government programs—has alarmed many researchers. “I think this is the first time a politician in Canada has crossed that line to officially say they want to interfere to control #research topics,”

Claro que sí, @nasa. Esos planes #woke de poner mujeres y personas afroamericanas en las misiones #Artemisa para la Luna hay que desmontarlos cuanto antes...
Ahora solamente os falta reconocer que la nueva administración exige también que la Tierra sea plana y el universo tenga 10.000 años y poco.
¿Qué podría salir mal?

This is a very ambitious, optimistic display for Girl Scout cookies. (Note: I got permission from the parents to take and post the photo.)
The message and photo on the back of the box look “woke,” so I’m not shocked that wacko podcaster Joe Rogan has been raising the alarm that the cookies are “toxic.” The cookies are no doubt junk food, but Rogan and his ilk are just sick, hateful people.
Anyway, last week Trefoils shortbread cookies, this week Thin Mints.
A study of mint plants. A device to stop bleeding. This is the scientific research that U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz calls "woke.”
@ProPublica reports: "The senator flagged thousands of National Science Foundation grants for using words like 'female' and 'diversify.'”

If you shun news, politics, and/or sports I hashtag all of them so you can keep them out of your feed.
“While you may hate the behavior of your character, you have to understand and empathize with the traumatized person you are playing, right?
Make no mistake empathy is not weak or #woke.
Woke just means you give a damn about other people.
« Être #woke signifie juste que vous en avez quelque chose à foutre des gens autour de vous. »
In honor of Black History Month…
“Woke” is an appropriated term that has become a colloquialism loosely meaning “having a moral compass” in the face of systemic oppression. Its original usage was “stay woke,” unintentionally coined by blues musician Lead Belly.
In a 1938 he was recording his song “Scottsboro Boys,” ending it with spoken word about the song’s meaning.
