SO to the white man in Panera who realized I was writing a sermon and told me that women can’t preach and I'm perverting scripture. Our service is at 11:00 AM tomorrow, and we're talking about Hannah---a woman who calls out injustice at the hands of evil men in power.

The most lesbian thing I’ve said in a long time: in the #QuidditchChampions game, petite ol’, religious pacifist me is an unreasonably good beater—the one whose job it is to hit other players with the iron ball and tackle them for *no reason* I am a rugby lesbian of Quidditch.

(I don’t support J.K. Rowling, but sometimes my mental health needs take priority. Engaging with the Wizarding World can be a helpful and safe outlet for me. I also donated double the cost of the game to local trans support groups in the city to help counteract my purchase.)

This woman referred to aging as, “living in the evening of my life.” And I really thought that was a beautiful way of putting it.

TN State Rep @brotherjones_ on Neo-Nazi march in Nashville: “Tennessee is the tip of the spear. We have to sound the alarm because there are folks trying to bring us back to darker days in our history, we must resist that… particularly a new South that is multiracial."

"The Bible is very clear" is how they justified slavery, too.
Speaker Mike Johnson: “I believe that scripture, the Bible is very clear, that God is the one who raises up those in authority.”

Abraham debated. Moses protested. Jeremiah worried. And Elijah basically whined. But Jonah? Jonah ran. It's a reminder that arguing with God is not an obstacle to intimacy with God, but a primary channel into it.

everyone i know in their late 20s is having an existential crisis because we skipped our mid 20s in the pandemic. relationships fast-tracked, careers faltered, we lost those core identity-building years and now we feel like 23-year-old brains in bodies approaching 30

This week's sermon prep is a lot less reading and a lot more watching the Mr. Rogers movie.

Yesterday in passing a congregant told me that her mother was good friends with Thomas Edison and his wife. So now it lives rent free in my head.

Someone on Reddit asked, “if you’re injured as a result of a mass shooting, are you responsible for that medical bill?” And I find that a uniquely American question.

Cackling to myself because in making my budget using the template my brother sent me, where he put “entertainment” I replaced it with “therapy” and it was almost the exact same about penny for penny.

If your (DOC) church is proclaiming that “all are welcome” at the communion table and you regularly mention gluten free options but aren’t regularly reminding people that the cup is full of non-alcoholic juice, then your welcome isn’t as wide as you think.
