EpiscoGrrlI’m not sure I agree with Rev. Mathis’ take on today’s <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/ForwardDaybyDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForwardDaybyDay</a> verse (Ruth 2:12b) It’s not that I’m unaware that family dynamics play favorites or that people conceal their (& their family) financial condition for a variety of reasons. I just don’t necessarily see Naomi’s & Boaz’ behavior as treating <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Ruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruth</a> as an outsider. Seeking more context, I turned to my SBL Study Bible of the <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/NSRVUE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NSRVUE</a> & discovered that the Hebrew & Christian bibles place the book in different places. That placement significantly impacts how the book of Ruth is read & perceived. Mathis clearly read the Christian placement which leans toward the outsider feeling. I find the Hebrew placement (between <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Proverbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proverbs</a> & the Song of Songs) rings truer with how I perceive the text. Not a as a story of an outsider as much as a story of a woman of quality. It expands on the story of a woman of strength (Proverbs 31:10-31), bringing her to life & giving her a name, perhaps two (Ruth & <a href="https://episcodon.net/tags/Naomi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Naomi</a>)

Chuck DarwinDemocratic senator Richard Blumenthal is turning up the heat on Supreme Court Justice <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sonia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sonia</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sotomayor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sotomayor</a> to step down while Democrats can select her replacement. Speaking with NBC’s Sahil Kapur for a story published Wednesday, Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) made a veiled reference to the late Justice <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruth</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bader" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bader</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ginsburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ginsburg</a> — who ignored calls to step down for years during former President Barack Obama’s tenure. She passed away in 2020, with former President Donald Trump choosing her successor. “I’m very respectful of Justice Sotomayor,” Blumenthal told NBC. “I have great admiration for her. But I think she really has to weigh the competing factors. We should learn a lesson. And it’s not like there’s any mystery here about what the lesson should be. The old saying — graveyards are full of indispensable people, ourselves in this body included.”The idea of the 69-year-old Sotomayor stepping down has gained momentum in recent days. Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan made the argument for the justice to retire in a recent column for The Guardian. “Wouldn’t a replacement for Sotomayor that Senator Joe Manchin has to approve be less progressive, and more centrist, than our sole Latina, super-progressive justice?” Hasan wrote. “Perhaps. But, again, consider the alternative. Would we rather Biden replace Sotomayor with a centrist in 2024 … or Trump replace her with a far-right Federalist Society goon in 2025?”<a href="https://www.mediaite.com/news/dem-senator-turns-up-the-heat-on-justice-sotomayor-to-retire-graveyards-are-full-of-indispensable-people/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.mediaite.com/news/dem-senator-turns-up-the-heat-on-justice-sotomayor-to-retire-graveyards-are-full-of-indispensable-people/</a>

Chuck DarwinStand where he tells you to stand, wear what he tells you to wear, mand do what he tells you to do." This is the wedding night advice offered to brides by Josh Howerton, a senior pastor at Lakepointe Church in Dallas, Texas. Lakepointe, according to the Dallas Morning News, is one of the biggest megachurches in Texas, with over 13,000 people a week attending its main location. The church itself cites a number over 40,000 a week, between its six campuses and online services. Howerton opened Sunday morning services on February 25 with this paean to sexual coercion. The MAGA base is getting ever more vitriolic with its misogyny. Part of that is due to the more secular dirtbags of the Joe <a href="https://c.im/tags/Rogan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rogan</a>/Elon <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> variety, who have become such a loud part of the Republican coalition under Trump. But this escalation of boldly misogynist rhetoric is also coming from the evangelicals. Republicans can't win without keeping those people happy, since the Christian right is where the GOP's organizing power still mainly resides. In her recent New York Times article about the "coarsening" of the religious right, <a href="https://c.im/tags/Ruth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ruth</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/Graham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Graham</a> alluded to this, writing about the trend of evangelical leaders using "<a href="https://c.im/tags/vulgarities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#vulgarities</a>." But it's not just a matter of using curse words. The vulgarities in question mostly center around an over-the-top performance of toxic masculinity: throwing around sexist terms like "sl*t" and "wh*re," homophobic slurs, and using phrases like "grow a pair." It's definitely got an overcompensation vibe to it. But along with the increasingly violent queerphobia, this means evangelical sexism is getting more overtly nasty. A lot of the faux-chivalrous condescension is being replaced with blunt malevolence and sexual objectification. <a href="https://www.salon.com/2024/04/01/stand-where-he-tells-you-to-stand-why-the-is-doubling-down-on-misogyny-in-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.salon.com/2024/04/01/stand-where-he-tells-you-to-stand-why-the-is-doubling-down-on-misogyny-in-2024/</a>
