Few people have influenced my intellectual development more than Stanley Hauerwas. As a law student in the late 1990s, I audited his class on Christian Ethics in America. Then, after four years working as a military attorney at the Pentagon, I returned to graduate school and took more classes with Hauerwas. He served on my dissertation committee and took time to meet with me outside of classes, including a summer we spent reading Wittgenstein together.

Laura is referring to the publication of Blaise Larmee in Compact Magazine. The first piece of published work from the artist in five years.  In 2017, the label I founded publicly denounced the artist, not long after denouncing another artist on the roster; and nearly falling apart itself in the aftermath. 80% of artists / projects we’ve produced, artists have been paid or otherwise compensated. The reason for falling behind in payments at all has to do with the near-collapse of the label and personal collapse.

Review of Mulberry Street Tavern Surety Hotel, Downtown Des Moines 206 6th Ave.; (515) 985-2066 Recently, when some friends and I were deciding where to dine out, one pal mentioned that her “current obsession” was Mulberry Street Tavern. She’d dined there six or seven times in the past three months. “Lovely service. Good veg options,” she said, especially recommending the cauliflower steak with banana-pepper coulis. “Plus, it’s cozy,” she added.

My grandmother, Jani Mace, died too young at age 63 of lung cancer in 1980, after crashing out of three violent marriages and becoming an independent feminist editorial writer and high-school teacher in her 50s. The year before she died she was writing about sex after 60 and describing her preferred lovers in their 40s. In 1979 this was literally unheard of, so even though she submitted the essay to Playboy (because there would have been no other publication she could have submitted this to at the time), it was of course not published.

Hi, welcome back to Mixed Messages! This week I’m speaking to actress Ana Yi Puig, who is of Chinese and Puerto Rican heritage. You may have seen Ana in Netflix’s Senior Year or the Gossip Girl reboot, plus she’ll be hitting screens in the upcoming Goosebumps series on Disney+. As soon as I read an interview with Ana where she described herself as ‘China-Rican,’ I knew I had to explore her heritage more with her in this newsletter.

My dad taught me every epic journey deserves a great soundtrack. My PalliMed Mixtape is the story of my Palliative Medicine Fellowship year, told in 15 songs. My Sweet Lordon Apple Music All things must pass, even mixtapes. As I have come to the end of this PalliMed fellowship, so, too, have we come to the end of My PalliMed Mixtape. Choosing the final song for a mixtape is no trivial decision.

On Wednesday we had the opportunity we couldn’t believe. The chance to see U2 – a band that has meant more to me than maybe any band – live at The Sphere in Las Vegas. It is hard to say which portion of that experience I was looking forward to more. On one hand, you have U2. The first CD I bought as a 14-year old who was experiencing music on my own terms as 14-year olds will was The Joshua Tree.

Okay, here are my top seven books for those who want to understand the book of Revelation Terrific insights into how John’s apocalypse has shaped much of history! This is a fun and readable exercise in reception-history. Beale shows how Revelation has inspired also sorts of apocalyptic fantasies and expectations. Beale starts out with a discussion of  hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, which fear of the number 666. He also notes debates over the canonicity of Revelation in the early church and how many feminists think the language of patriarchy and violence renders it irredeemable.
