pass it on

If you can’t keep track of everybody, who can you keep track of?


Today, Kristin Du Mez — The historian who wrote the influential *Jesus and John Wayne* — offers a useful list of reliable folks she keeps track of (while *they* keep track of reliable sources she doesn’t have the capacity to follow directly).

I’ll never be able to keep up with everyone on her list, but I keep up with some of them, along with a couple who are not on her list, and they point to sources I wouldn’t find without them. Sometimes, I refer to those sources in blog posts, social media updates, and real world conversations. Some of my friends do that, too.

I wonder what would happen if we all did that favor for each other — investing whatever capacity we have to keep up with a few well-vetted sources, and then passing links we think might be useful to our friends….

Here’s the list from Kristin Du Mez on Substack:
