I remember when Elon got really involved in a Wisconsin election, it turned out well for him I think.

Man I’m ready for this gas leak presidency to be over

I love that we get this string of teachings from Jesus on wealth (dishonest manager, Lazarus and Dives, rich young ruler) and we’re still like “huh what do you think Jesus thought about being rich? really too complicated and ambiguous to know”

As to Shaun…

Pritzker to name Jack Skellington his running mate

Did Jesus say we should free or torture prisoners, I can’t quite remember

Lemme just say: it astounds me that something like 10% of the ostensibly, per parochial report data, growing episcopal churches have phone numbers with no voicemails, with voicemails that end up being circles where I can’t leave a message, busy signals, not in service, etc etc

Justice is part of the Christian story, and I am thankful to Jordan Haynie Ware ( @godwelcomesall.bsky.social ), Archdeacon for Justice, for taking time to be on All Things Necessary. ⚓ youtu.be/_mQIL47RKEk

How are all the unrapturèd doing today?

Join Trinity for Morning Prayer commemorating Thecla of Iconium! 🕯️

1) If you have a contact form go to a generic email: check it regularly. 2) if you have a contact form go to ANY email box, check REGULARLY to make sure these messages are not landing in spam. 3) Make it a discipline to answer these messages. It is too easy to let them fall down the to-do list.

I know contact forms on a website may seem like a good idea, but from my experience of emailing churches—the churches that have only the ability to contact them through a contact form are the ones that are most likely not to have gotten back to me (and these are *growing* churches!)

Glad to see schools are raising awareness about posting feet

“Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.” – 1 Peter 2:1–3 (NRSVue)

Moved on from the Parable duology to Oryx and Crake because I’m just committed to feeling really bad.

real issue with most of our political commentators having very little experience with the military, to say nothing of black people in the military, is that none of them clocked this for what it obviously was

i was just thinking about how much of a bone deep racist you’d have to be to even think of this. i know hegseth belongs to a religious cult whose leader thinks slavery was good. how about someone ask pete what the thinks the proper station of black people is.

I am lost my one linen collar and really it’s not knowing where it went that bothers me more than anything else. Pray to st Anthony to intercede for me.

I was bit by a radioactive Spider-Man impersonator

True because kohlrabi is the sung MVP

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth

Today’s sermon: The purpose of money is to love God and love your neighbor. Seems obvious, right, and yet…

man anyone else think about how much worse the world is without fruitopia

That or it sounds like you‘re calling out Tammany Hall.

In the white culture, money is often given to others in a gesture of friendship and gratitude.

Man he just can’t stop thinking about Bluesky

I dont feel so bad about my few hot mics at church now

the Will Smith track “Wild Wild West” just came on the radio and: 1) it was weird that for several years whenever Will made a tentpole movie he also rapped about it in partial character 2) we should make more actors do this

Anyone got a pdf of Torrance’s Scottish Theology?

You can call me Mr Groove

Kinda nuts that they get to call it a violent protest when the entire source of violence was ICE.

In any case, Coleridge > Schelling > Fichte > Hegel

I tire of all this Hegel debate. Let’s talk Schopenhauer.

I do love that Illinois is becoming the center of the resistance.

The millennial pause is good and makes sure that everything you say in a video actually gets recorded.

America is ready for a president who has one of those isopods as a tongue

You ever meet a person for whom you’re sure “eating an exotic meal” means like Olive Garden?

We need Woke Cardboard.

I’m really bummed Utopia got suspended

How can I pray for you tonight?

Oceans are now battlefields Seas are now courtrooms

My 5yos political universe is “Donald Trump = bad,” “Kamala Harris and Abraham Lincoln = good”

“You see, the genealogical explanation is that the Coffee Shop and the virtuosi who inhabited them became para-universities in the Early Modern English world, the English version of the Parisian salon, the place for the dissemination of enlightenment revolutionary thought, in this essay I will…”

One of the really helpful things from Root’s thinking with Charles Taylor for engaging as a Christian with contemporary politics is that we have to think of three poles for political orientation rather than two: Exclusive humanist, counter enlightenment, and beyonders

This is a description of a pariah state.

I love ginger beer.

So uh when is Donny going to bring out the fiery furnace?

chat i think organized labour might be cooked

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.
