A public composed of individuals capable of seeing the world beyond political polarities is thorn in the side of those who walk the halls of power. Imagination breeds Resistance.

Decolonizing My Imagination: It Started With Black Panther

Decolonizing My Imagination: It Started With Black Panther

The following is the introduction to a series I’ve been ruminating over for at least year at this point. The passing of Chadwick Boseman this week shocked me and stirred up grief I did not know was there. I confess I only knew Boseman through Black Panther and have not seen any of his other films. But I cannot overstate that Boseman’s familial yet adversarial chemistry with Michael B. Jordan (under the direction of Ryan Coogler) on screen was integral…

In February of 2017, I posted Imagination for Resistance: An Incomplete Pseudo-Syllabus. In it, I set a lofty goal of reading and sharing theological works and genre fiction created by voices in the margins. My intent was to devote 2017 to that project, and I failed miserably. You may have noticed that the post still refers to the blog as Noggin Squall, certain hyperlinks no longer work, and I even mislabeled the genre of a book on my reading list….

I do not have the words.  I do not have the words to express my anger and grief at seeing swastikas and and klansmen marching down the streets of Charlottesville.  I do not have words for my disgust at a President who ultimately refuses to condemn the evil that Nazism and White Supremacy unapologetically profess.  I have no words for Jerry Falwell Jr.’s blaspheming silence who at times I hear more loudly than the President’s and pundit’s foul, Anti-Christ words….

Dear Mr. President, Please watch Godzilla.  I’m not sure what kind of movies you typically watch in your leisure, but this film is a classic and certainly worth your time, I promise you.  You may be familiar with Godzilla as the the giant lizard monster that ravages Tokyo.  But do you know the origins of Godzilla?  Originally titled Gojira, this 1954 film tells the story of beast created by American nuclear testing in the South Pacific.  The testing resurrects and…

I tend to be a fan of the internet, and I am sure I am not alone. While the internet may have much unwholesome or offensive content, it is where many people find their news, gather recipes, post pictures of cats, and watch videos of teenage boys shooting fire works at each other. What’s not to love? The world wide web is an expanse of information, entertainment, and innovation. It is here that many find outlets for their passions in…

Holy Week is upon us! Tomorrow, those of us who identify with the Christian tradition will contemplate the execution of Jesus of Nazareth by crucifixion, at the hands of the Roman Empire. In 2017, we are quite removed from the world of first century Palestine. While many of us church goers are confident we know what the Roman world was like in Jesus’ day, there are some important political and social details that are often neglect in the average Sunday…

My goodness, friends, it has been a good while since I last posted. And much has happened. Here we are in a new year with a new president and administration. And like everyone else, I have thoughts, opinions, and furious tirades. And we may get to those in the coming months. But today, I have some cool news. If you check out the side menu to the right of this post, you’ll find… wait for it… a subscription box!!! That’s…
