The biggest emotional rollercoaster of my life was rejoicing with my children about Taylor Swift's engagement and then having to tell them that they would not be the flower girls

Back at Rowdy Audi with @washingtonspirit.com deep cut Hooray Hatchy!

Red Panda injured and Phee having an off-night?! I'm telling you, something was off on that court tonight #commissionerscup #wnba

We all universally agree that MSP is the superior US airport, right?

Yesterday I was on a panel about Pope Leo XIV, hosted by @icjsbaltimore.bsky.social. It was great to discuss the new pope and speculate wildly with Heather Miller Rubens and @annieselak.bsky.social. You can see the whole discussion here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2T...

I have recently learned that I picture Phoebe Waller-Bridge as the main female character in all fiction books I read. I highly recommend this to others.

One more time for the people in the back*: Republican and Democrat views do not map onto Catholicism. Pope Leo XIV isn't advancing a Republican agenda by meeting with JD Vance. I explained this on WTVU yesterday morning: www.ktvu.com/video/1643650 *back in this case are people in the Bay Area

HAPPY START OF WNBA SEASON!!!!

Getting ready to go to mass and hear "Leo our pope" for the first time.

New Orleans genealogist Jari C. Honora became curious about the French-sounding last name “Prevost” soon after Pope Leo XIV’s first address. A look into the pope’s ancestry revealed that many of his maternal ancestors were Creoles of color who lived in New Orleans.

I'm mostly all Pope all the time, but I'm taking a quick break to say that staff at Georgetown University are calling the university's changes to PTO "wage theft" tinyurl.com/GUStaffPTO

My excitement about Pope Leo XIV came through, maybe even too much, on this TV interview. Here's my quick reaction to our new pope: www.google.com/url?q=https:... #habemuspapam #popeleoxiv #pope

Chicago--> Peru---> Rome Sounds similar to: Chicago --> Paris--->Rome #habemuspapam #leoxiv #pope

2Rerum 2novarum

You know how we all said we knew something would be different with Pope Francis when he appeared in white and asked us to pray for him? Well my moment with this new Pope Leo XIV is him praying the Hail Mary and swallowing back tears #HabemusPapam #LeoXIV

Tired: American Pope Tired: Chicago Pope Wired: Pope Who Is Known Informally as “Bob”

Villanova is going to be unbearable now (New pope is Augustinian) #habemuspapam #pope #leoxiv

Let's talk about the name Leo XIV: He continues in the vibe of Leo's, like Leo XIII. He notably issued Rerum Novarum, which is the encyclical which became the foundation of Catholic Social teaching! #habemuspapam #pope

Born in Chicago. Lived in Peru. Currently in Rome. Prevost is unlike anyone we've seen before as Pope.

Info on Prevost www.ncronline.org/vatican/vati...

English translation: I announce to you a great joy; we have a pope: The most eminent and most reverend lord, Lord [first name] Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church [surname] who has taken the name [papal name].

White smoke! My guess is Tagle #conclave #habemuspapam

I'm not anticipating that the second vote will result in white smoke. But somehow I'm up at 4:30 in the morning watching a seagull on a chimney. #Conclave

Conclave is officially underway! Now that we are in this time, here's a thread on what I expect and my opinions as a feminist theologian who studies the Catholic Church #conclave #pope 🧵🧵🧵

Pope Francis challenged church norms and embraced the margins. Read the exchange between @brownphdgirl.bsky.social and @annieselak.bsky.social about his many contrasts and enduring legacy. goodauthority.org/news/pope-fr...

If you're spending your weekend thinking about Pope Francis and the upcoming conclave and realize that you have some questions about church teaching and authority, you're in luck! I did an explainer over at @goodauth.bsky.social with Nadia E Brown. goodauthority.org/news/pope-fr... #conclave

"As a feminist theologian, I’m not worried about the next pope" www.ncronline.org/opinion/femi... @annieselak.bsky.social today in @ncronline.bsky.social

My reflection on David Tracy, who passed away last night at 86 open.substack.com/pub/stepheno...

Now that the conclave date is set, all eyes turn to the College of Cardinals and their conversations. I spoke with @ktvufox2.bsky.social this morning about the conclave. #popefrancis #conclave www.ktvu.com/video/1632137

Pope Francis bringing people together in direct ways, even after his death. This will definitely be one of the most shared images.

Pope Francis' funeral will bring together leaders of the world, but there's one person who will be there who I think shouldn't be. Let me tell you about Cardinal Roger Mahony 🧵🧵🧵 #popefrancis #funeral #popefrancisfuneral

As a feminist theologian who studies authority in the church, I am totally shocked by the accidental invitation extended to a woman to attend the conclave #PopeFrancis cruxnow.com/vatican/2025...

One of my favorite pieces of art of Pope Francis, by Philadelphia artist Becky McIntyre May "todos todos todos" remain our vision of the church #popefrancis

Great coverage on Pope Francis in easily readable & accessible snippets from @us.theconversation.com Happy to have my piece on papal apologies included theconversation.com/francis-a-po...

It's impossible to summarize what Pope Francis meant to me. Suffice it to say, I named my first child after him (and dressed them up as the pope on their first Halloween). #PopeFrancis

These moments made me tear up more than I anticipated. For me, the Holy Thursday washing of feet with the marginalized today will encapsulate Pope Francis and his ministry. Imprisoned women, refugees--- he brought the margins to the center.

The time for talking about Pope Francis and legacy will come, but for now, I just want to say, as a Catholic and theologian: I would not be where I'm at today without Pope Francis. His ministry inspired me. His actions modeled what discipleship could be. I'm grateful for his ministry. #popefrancis

Is there anyone in Tampa who can braid my 7 y.o.'s hair prior to the game? I over promised my braiding skills. She wants to be just like Paige. Would also accept Azzi. #ncaachamtionship #marchmadness #UConn

I'm at the @washingtonspirit.bsky.social game and have an exact picture of the Trinity Rodman goal. She was not offside. Chawinga was in front. #nwsl

Here at Georgetown, Kate McAlwee and @katielacz.bsky.social of Women's Ordination Conference are talking about creative opposition and creative responsibility, a la Anne Patrick

I am once again begging for someone to do a deep dive on the ministers who preside at #LoveIsBlind weddings

Really glad to see the lived experience of trans people included in this statement on gender affirming care. Grateful for the activists like @newwaysministry.bsky.social putting in the work of relationship & encounter that planted these seeds 1/2 www.cnn.com/2025/03/05/e...

While most people are giving up social media for Lent, I'm over here joining a new platform. So, uhhh, I'm new here. Help me figure it out.
