*sigh*
Listen y'all, the Nephites were racist
In the Book of Mormon, the Nephites—including the narrators of the text—were violently racist misogynists.
& they got annihilated *explicitly because* they would not stop being violently racist misogynists.
That's the whole plot.

Boy math is saying women are the more faithful ones and yet only men should be in charge of the church.

#utahjuneteenth a 🧵
What does Juneteenth have to do with Utah history? Utah remained loyal to the Union during the Civil War so we might think that Juneteenth does not involve Utah but we'd be wrong. 1/16

The LDS Church's request to avoid "Mormon" has created a weird situation where some publishers (mine) change "Mormon fundamentalist" to "LDS fundamentalist."
Neither group wants this.

I really think Latter-day Saints would have a much less difficult time processing their own history & culture—including their worst moments—if they read & engaged Mormon literature
& I don’t mean hagiographies. I mean good literature, which we do have. Like “The Giant Joshua.”

If you’re a top leader in a homophobic church and you publicly call for members to use “musket fire” against LGBTQ people and allies, and then a member of your faith goes and guns down a bunch of people in a gay nightclub, are you at all at fault? Asking for @HollandJeffreyR

It matters that the shooter’s name is on the records of the Church.
And it matters that the names of queer people like those he murdered are not allowed on the records of the Church.
These things matter.

Some were surprised when @Ch_JesusChrist supported the Respect for Marriage Act given 1) historic opposition to LGBTQ civic rights & 2) recent internal retrenchment on member sexuality. But as I write in @washingtonpost, these actually go hand-in-hand. /1 washingtonpost.com/made-by-h…

There's something v funny about being a PhD student at a uni that Dark Academia People romanticize, as if our library is still lit by oil lamps and we don't spend all day deleting emails about events called 'AI as queer masculinity: digital humanism in the post-AIDS generation'

BOM characters would rather believe in a God who is a OK with a little murder than go to therapy

So the book of Mormon is kind of like a Christianity expansion pack that addresses how to be a disciple when you're rich and privileged

This is a great essay by @EmmaTueller
From the magazine, Summer 2022 issue: "I’m currently studying the Mormon worldview as manifested in Mormon young adult fantasy literature." #lds #feminist #yafantasy #mormon #EndersGame ift.tt/BPXtdqi

The Black Menaces official response to racism at the Duke V. BYU volleyball game.
Disgusted at this but not surprised. We must be better. We won’t stop til things change.
@BYU LET US HELP YOU DO BETTER, BECAUSE BY YOURSELF ITS NOT WORKING.

From @religiongal's fantastic article in the @sltrib, it's pretty clear that a central portion of the @Ch_JesusChrist's claims in its latest statement—that they "did not know the full extent" of the abuse—ring pretty hollow.
Deeply ashamed of my Church rn sltrib.com/religion/2022/08/…

honestly pretty wilded out about how the entire editorial board of *The Washington Post* put out an entire piece yesterday condemning *SPECIFICALLY* the @Ch_JesusChrist's reaction to child sexual abuse
& we are still snoozing through it? what the heck ??? washingtonpost.com/opinions/…
