Interwoven: What Lived Coexistence Looks Like When No One Is the Majority

Image
  If parity is the demographic story, interweaving is the human one. “Interwoven” does not mean blended. It does not mean syncretic. It does not mean that Christianity and Islam will merge into some hybrid faith. What it means is far more ordinary and far more consequential: shared life . By 2050, Christians and Muslims will increasingly inhabit the same neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, and public institutions. Not because of ideology, but because of math. Demographic parity creates a world where neither tradition can retreat into the assumption of dominance. Instead, they meet each other in the places where life actually happens. Interweaving looks like: A Christian nurse and a Muslim doctor working the same night shift. A school board debating holiday calendars that must now accommodate multiple traditions. A city council balancing zoning requests for churches and mosques in the same district. Interfaith coalitions forming around climate resilience, refugee support, or pov...

Cancer Diary: The Tongue as an Early‑Warning System

Image
  Most people don’t think of the tongue as a place where cancer hides. We’re trained to watch moles, breasts, prostates, lymph nodes. But the tongue—this small, muscular, constantly moving piece of us—is one of the most information‑dense organs in the body. It changes color with oxygenation, it swells with allergies, it cracks with dehydration, it trembles with neurological disease. And sometimes, it develops cancer. Tongue cancer is real, and it’s more common than most people realize. It’s also one of the cancers that can be missed , especially when it grows in the back of the tongue where no one is looking. Understanding what’s normal, what’s suspicious, and what’s urgent is part of reclaiming agency over our bodies—one of the core themes of this diary. Two Tongues, Two Different Cancers The medical world divides the tongue into two zones, and each behaves differently: 1. The Oral Tongue (front two‑thirds) This is the part you can stick out at the doctor. Cancers here ten...

Publisher's Pride: Books on Bestseller Lists - Since Sinai (Gonyou)

Image
  Today's Publisher's Pride is  Since Sinai  by Shannon Gonyou, which reached #85 in biographies of Judaism.  Since Sinai  has appeared in Amazon best-selling categories nearly every week since its release. Book Description: Raised in a heavily Catholic suburb of Detroit, Michigan, Shannon grew up focusing on two things: how to do enough good deeds to get into heaven and how to stay pure enough to escape hell. In college, she followed many of her peers into an Evangelical church known for guitars, drum, religious-based shame, and the idea that without Jesus she was nothing. But when she encountered Judaism on that same campus, a spark ignited within her and refused to be put out. Judaism felt obvious, familiar. After a falling out with her biological mother and two miscarriages, she found the courage to send the most important email of her life: she asked the local Jews by Choice program to accept her as a student. Honest and unflinching, Shannon's story of comi...
