I don’t do this much but: We were driving across Nebraska on the 80. We needed lunch and Google Maps was mostly showing fast food that would add 45+ minutes to our trip. But I did find something called Leadbelly in Lincoln. So we stopped. I’ve never had a burger on a cinnamon roll before. 1/

Ahhhh! You were in my neck of the woods. Leadbelly is fantastic. Nebraskans also love cinnamon rolls combined with something savory. Chili and cinnamon rolls being the primary example. It is excellent!

Mormon prophets used to do cool shit like spending a day testing an LDS inventor's (Thomas Moray) free energy device.

The person who wrote that tweet is a huge fan of Cleon Skousen, a guy who identified a bunch of stuff right wingers didn’t like in the 1950s and then wrote a book falsely claiming he had evidence that all of those things were part of the Commies’ written plans. open.substack.com/pub/sethcotl...

I cannot grumble loudly enough that anti-Black and anti-activist backlash will always hurt everyone, it’s just a matter of time. the center focusing on Latine, Asian and first gen student success is also being “folded” and the administrative division of DEI closed

Another I didn't cover: Arnold Boss and Moroni Jessop, two prominent early Mormon Fundamentalists, each taught that Cain was a “catch-colt” whose father was not Adam, but Satan, and claimed to have learned this from Lorin C. Woolley, one of the fathers of Mormon Fundamentalism.

Each year, Mormon History Association, funded by Smith-Pettit Foundation, sponsors a distinguished scholar whose expertise is outside of Mormonism to speak on Mormonism’s context. This year we’re honored to hear Robert Orsi, who is musing on Mormonism, Catholicism, sexuality, and good/bad religion.

Syringe feeding has gone poorly. Little one is still losing weight. Tomorrow I am moving to the resort that I really wanted to avoid: tube feeding. 😥

I'm gonna do everything I can on my own to make sure this kitten doesn't die, but I'm not going to keep shelling out cash for veterinary care no better than I can provide on my own at home.

"Try syringe feeding." Thanks. I also know how to read articles by KittenLady on the internet. Here's $80 for telling me what I already figured out on my own, I guess. 💸

Runt is not doing well and started losing weight. Took them to the vet to see what can be done. Here they are asleep in the warmth of my hand. Vet charged me $80 to effectively look things up on the internet in real time and say, "I don't know. Bring them back if they get worse." 😒

People sometimes get mad at me for making the point that exMormons are a kind of Mormon. Today, I can think of no better example supporting my argument than the "polygamy with extra steps" apparently practiced by Brad Kramer.

A big thanks to Stephen Carter for all the helpful editing (and catchy titles!) of my rambling into these far more digestible pieces. If you have ideas or essays you would like to share with a broad Mormon audience, consider submitting an essay to the Sunstone Review!

This is the fourth short essay in a series exploring factors that drive conspiracy thinking and how they are expressed in Mormon communities. My hope is to start a conversation with folks across the spectrum of Mormondom aimed at making our communities a safe and healthy place for all.

In this essay, I briefly discuss the availability heuristic and the Mormon practice of communal testimony-bearing. I also examine the plethora of conspiracy narratives in Mormon scripture and how they may encourage a general tendency to view the world through a conspiracist lens.

An important story that I hope folks both within and without the LDS Church become aware of. It’s so easy for institutions to derail into unwise directions, but only when there’s encouragement to change internally & externally does anything ever really shift:
