Such an important little book!
Yeah the * in advance* "But the MAGA fascists are worse so you have to Newsome now" people can be unhinged.
Me in church
🎼 Let's talk together of the time
when we will share a feast,
when pride and power kneel to serve
the lonely and the least,
and joy will set the table
as we join hands to pray,
singing welcome,
welcome to this place.
You're invited to come and know
God's grace.

Thank you.
That line broke me.
Also the entire lizard encounter—the only Ghost that verifiably goes on to the mountain.

This is really beautiful
Absolutely. It was really important on my journey
"In theological language, it was dysphoria that alerted me to my own need for sanctification. Because sanctification is, after all, the process of becoming in the direction of who we Are... Gender dysphoria... grants us a glimpse of the Real that haunts us all."

Following then 😁
This will probably turn off just about everybody that follows me. But I'm repeating anyway because it's brilliant, and expresses a deep, challenging truth in a way that might resonate with somebody
Trump said Spain "has been terribly" by refusing US military base use, and added "we can just fly in and use them, nobody is going to tell us not to use it." Trump said he personally told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut all trade with Spain. #US
Horrifying.
A new report is raising questions about how U.S. law enforcement agencies across the South classify the deaths of transgender women, arguing that some cases ruled suicides may warrant deeper scrutiny.
It's really heavy y'all.
RAPID RESPONSE Rapid Response 47 • 23m "There was absolutely an imminent threat," says @SecRubio on Iran. "We knew that if Iran was attacked —and we believe that they would be attacked—that they would immediately come after us, and we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded... We went proactively, in a defensive way, to prevent them from inflicting higher damage. Had we not done so, there would have been hearings on Capitol Hill about how we knew that this was going to happen and we didn't act preemptively to prevent more casualties and more loss of life."

RUBIO:
“We knew that if Iran was attacked—and we believe that they would be attacked—that they would immediately come after us…”
Rubio’s remarks sound like Israel told the Trump admin they were planning to attack Iran with or without the US, and the Trump admin made its decision based on that.

I wrote another essay. I think this is the shape I want my trans liberationist theology to take.

This was really cool to get to be part of!
Thank you for the mention. Here is the essay I think you are referring to and yeah, that is absolutely a major theme for me.

Getting to talk with @dr-maeforrest.bsky.social , Kat or Bill is always a joy; getting to chat *about Lewis* was beyond delight.
beautiful ❤️
Me in church
🎼 Hallelujah for my Jesus,
for his life's surprising course!
May I, too, live bold resistance
to injustice, hate, and force.
Surely peace, it has a cadence,
asking all of what we bring!
And if music is God breathing,
take a holy breath and sing!

Oh my gosh. Just...oh my gosh.
Managed to drop an Ash Wednesday post before I ran out of Ash Wednesday. This is about death and about why it's good to think about death. It's also kind of about living under fascism.

🎼 There's a wild hope in the wind:
her whisper is heard on the breeze.
The gale is her shout that is calling us out.
There's a wild hope in the wind.
O God in the wind, come gather us in,
be our courage and promise.
The future is dim, but we want to live in
to a wild, wild hope.

🎼God weeps with us who weep and mourn;
God's tears flow down with ours,
and God's own heart is bruised and worn
from all the heavy hours
of watching. While the soul's bright fire
burned lower day by day,
and pulse and breath and love's desire
dimmed down to ash and clay.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
