Arun (+Kirkstall) is my bishop, and his words quoted here are - as usual - excellent. Christ always stands with the marginalised and downtrodden, never with the oppressor.

you’re never going to believe this. the woke left’s depraved war on christmas is escalating. sources tell me they’re planning to make the yuletide gay

Unexpected surprise on the wall in the Cardigan Arms in Leeds! Sadly none on tap, but I can't complain when Kirkstall Brewery beers are so good (and, to be fair, it is their pub!) @shepherdneame.bsky.social

Tonight we're hosting Mary & Joseph on their advent journey around the parish 🥰 @whitkirkchurch.org.uk #Posada ✝️

Just watched my YouTube rewind, and apparently I’m very interested in ‘personal finance’ because I watched a lot of videos from -checks notes- Bart Ehrman…

While reading "Better Ways to Read the Bible" by @zachwlambert.bsky.social, I was reminded of this quote by Jordan Harrell. I am not a "little bible", I am a "little Christ"/Christian... I follow Jesus. Be wary of those who quote the Bible but do not follow Jesus' way.

How gender critical was Nazi Germany? Let’s find out & compare some top gender critical “beliefs” with evidence from historical Nazi Germany. Each post has a GC position + a picture from a historical source or modern research paper. English translation & the source are in each picture’s alt-text.

it is MIRACULOUS that we got rid of lead paint and asbestos when we did. if we had tried that today, there would be people whining about how we're restricting their rights.

Recently, as I was doing some deep breathing exercises in the vestry to cope with some nonsense at church, someone came up to me and said "these days I have to ask God for patience, because if I ask him for strength I'll deck a bitch." and honestly? Biblical levels of wisdom there.

Saw this ad at the bottom of a news article and…this is some SCP-level unsettling horror

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

"The Church of England has long called for this change, and we believe in the equal and unsurpassable worth of every child." The Bishop of Leicester responds to the end of the two-child benefit cap announced in the Budget this afternoon.

Worth a shot I guess 😓 If you could vote on this, I'd really appreciate it 👉👈 twitch.uservoice.com/forums/31023...

Scrapping the two-child limit in full is a monumental decision. Well done to all involved in the Child Poverty Strategy, and everyone who has made the case against the policy. OBR says scrapping costs £3 billion in 2029-30 and will lift 450,000 out of poverty

The top two posts on my Instagram feed are from two Labour cabinet ministers and are slightly different in tone, approach, and engagement.

Someone did a sketch a while back (not sure who; possibly @misterabk.bsky.social?) of two white men doing a podcast, in which during a 5min conversation they said precisely nothing. This is that.

An important reminder that belief in magic (and especially black magic and necromancy) is not a purely historical phenomenon.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Иigel Faяage would really hate it if you signed and shared this petition. I suspect ьoяis Johиsoи would too.

Our next door neighbours do not have a latch on their garden gate, and so every time there is a gust of wind, it slams. 😡 I am so tempted to nail it shut when they’re not looking.

This thread is both informative and highly entertaining. Well worth a read. Also: campaign to get "twat cannon" included in the next edition of the OED

The Trump blew Clinton hahahahaha stuff is boring and it's fine and whatever but the raping kids part is the one that demands every single person in those files dies of old age in prison.

As I say to everyone who equivocates on church and cathedral entry fees: theology and all that aside, speaking entirely from personal experience, if Durham Cathedral wasn't free to enter, I probably wouldn't be a Christian today.

Literally just opened Bluesky and this was the first thing I saw. -chef's kiss-

I'm sure it's already been said, but although as Traitors fans we highly approve of the latest storm here in the UK being named Claudia, surely Celia would be more fitting due to all the wind?!(Joking aside, stay safe, people. It's rough out there.) #CelebrityTraitors

Had a somewhat informal and (in my case, critical) conversation at work the other day regarding use of AI tools. I didn't realise that someone was actually using the AI minute-taking function, and...I'm going to have fun with this in future. 1/
