Some shots from last week’s event down here in Provo. The idea for the panel was hatched over dinner with @anthonyambriz . Within the hour, I had @maklelan and @lindsay_hansen_park agreed to participate, and @_relationscapes on board to moderate. We framed it around “Telling the Truth About Religion in an Age of Misinformation.” The free tickets became available a week before the scheduled night—the only date that worked for our busy schedules—and all 300 tickets were claimed within 30 hours. We had such a demand that attendees had to bring extra chairs.

It was a phenomenal discussion. We live in an era where the internet makes knowledge seeming reachable but often distorted, a period where expertise is undermined and hot takes are valued over seasoned analysis. How do we respond to such a climate? We discussed how our particular platforms are attempts to meet the moments while still playing by the rules of the academy. I was struck by how all of us expressed discomfort and uncertainty, evidence that it’s a complicated issue that requires humility and introspection. But it’s worth it—at least I hope, anyway.

Thanks to everyone who came out. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you. I’m equally honored and befuddled at the privilege to participate in this community of decent humans seeking to better understand the world and those who populate it.

We hope to have a few clips to share at some point.

UPDATE: all tickets are claimed. We’re overwhelmed at the response!

Please join us in Provo on Tuesday, June 30, at 7pm for an event that you won’t forget.

We live in an age where information is both imminently accessible but frequently distorted. The internet has both democratized knowledge but also platforms misinformation. This panel aims to discuss the role of academics, scholars, and experts to speak to the general public in a variety of digital spaces—YouTube, podcasts, social media, and all other ways in which (mis)information is distributed. What is the best way to distribute truth in an age of fake news? How does public scholarship relate to and diverge from academic work?

This is an IN-PERSON event that will take place at The Bright Building in Provo (33 400 South) on 6/30 at 7pm. Panelists include me, @maklelan, and @lindsay_hansen_park, moderated by @_relationscapes.

This event is open to the public and will include an audience Q&A. Please register for your FREE eventbrite tickets at a link found in my stories and bio. YOU NEED A TICKET TO GET IN.

This is what it looks like when a community refuses to stay quiet.

Students, parents, and educators spoke to the real impact of school social workers—and why these supports can’t be treated as optional.

The turnout was strong. The message was clear. People listened.

Even the news took notice.

And by the end of the meeting, the board committed to continuing the conversation around staffing priorities.

This isn’t just awareness—it’s movement.

And the conversation isn’t over.

On this episode of @_relationscapes former social worker and content creator Jess Britvich explains how social media pipelines—from “SkinnyTok” to “clean” beauty products—pull people into conspiracy thinking and reactionary movements, and the backlash that often comes with these conversations

Two-time guest and friend of the pod Blair Hodges @_relationscapes VM’d me this POV on the debate about what James Talarico is accomplishing by going on Rogan and pinging progressive theological arguments for progressive political positions. If that’s all he had, it would be a problem. But if he has a passport, he’s a valuable player. This sidesteps the opaque question of what his positions are founded on to focus on what he’s able to do.

Today’s BRIEF Tech-Bro Mormonism (w/Blair Hodges) NOW up.

We know Bryan Johnson gobbles 100 pills a day. He pumps his son’s plasma through his veins. He does light therapy on his junk and wants to live forever. But do we understand how Johnson’s fascinations reflect his Mormon heritage? No. No we don’t.

That’s why we called our very own Salt Lake City expert, Blair Hodges, of the @_relationscapes podcast.

Blair joins @matthew_remski to discuss Johnson’s transhumanism, which has roots in the LDS but has also led him away from it. They cover the spirituality of his money, whether he’s trying to become a living god, and how his home gym has some distinctive Mormon temple elements. Also: is Bryan really as polite as he seems, or is he hiding something?

Blair has degrees in journalism, religious studies, and disability studies from the University of Utah and Georgetown University. He directed communications for the Neal A. Maxwell Institute for Religious Studies at Brigham Young University before moving to the nonprofit sector. He has served as communications director for Volunteers of America, Utah and RMHC of the Intermountain Area. He’s currently working on a research project on the history of intellectual disabilities in Mormon thought.
