Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

Yarn and needlework supply store, but in an airport. NEVER BE BORED ON A TRIP AGAIN.

Where is the lie though.

Almighty and ever living God, we lift up the needs of those whose communities are facing the fires that rage across south Georgia: Be present with those who have lost their homes, all who are anxiously waiting for word following evacuation to safety, and the firefighters who are battling the blazes,

Called the kids on a layover. Eldest is now bringing home stuffies that belong to other people if they have holes so I can fix them “like I fix my stuffies!” And I feel like this is going to be a story for therapy but I can’t tell if it will be for his therapist or mine.

Coming home from a really great conference on conflict transformation and trauma-informed conflict in the church. My brain is so happy right now.

Pretty sure there is something literally telling us not to gamble on other people’s life and death in the Scriptures. Feels like a major “Don’t” yknow?

Just a regular reminder gambling was incredibly heavily regulated for the 20th century because it corrupts everything and apparently our historically myopic society is going to learn these lessons all over again www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

I’m going to be in South Georgia for a week—my accent is going to return with a vengeance. I warned my kids already, lest I call and they worry I’ve been replaced by a Sugarbaker.

Sitting in JFK, angrily muttering to myself each time the gate agent mispronounces Norfolk, VA.

I do have an extensive ideology around politics, but I will vote for anyone who promises to immediately jail people who listen to media without headphones in public.

Ithaca out here Ithaca-ing at our airport.

The directors of the firm hired to continue the crossword after the other people had been sacked, wish it to be known that they have just been sacked. The crossword has been completed in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute.

This is like straight antisemitism right here. Just pure, uncut from the source organic hatred of Jewish people.

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

Moloch the incomprehensible prison! Moloch the crossbone soulless jailhouse and Congress of sorrows! Moloch whose buildings are judgment! Moloch the vast stone of war! Moloch the stunned governments!

I have so many dumb “Trump manages to undo the 39 Articles” jokes and I can’t post them and I am SO MAD ABOUT IT.

They should visit Yorktown 😈

This is now just Bad Theology Bingo. We have, aside from all else, now ‘Demonizing Pharisees’ and ‘Casual Antisemitism/supercessonism’ so check your cards everyone.

Trying to explain St Augustine to the pope, the former head of the Augustinian order, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Augustine, on his way back from celebrating mass at the Basilica of St Augustine in Annaba, Algeria, overlooking the site where Augustine lived is peak Adult Catholic Convert.

members of the press, I too have a “feud” with the pope, in that I disagree with him about things and he does not care in the slightest

🚨 Record high of 40 Senators have just voted to block $300M of bulldozers to Israel. Blumenthal, Coons, Cortez Masto, Fetterman, Gillibrand, Rosen, Schumer voted w/ Republicans. Along with demolishing Palestinian homes, Israel used a bulldozer to kill 23-year-old American Rachel Corrie.

I'm old enough to remember that the Archbishop of San Francisco denied communion to Nancy Pelosi, and she wasn't beefing with THE ENTIRE APPARATUS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Part of the Just War tradition is a commitment to the idea that all killing is wrong and all participants in war must engage in penitence upon returning home.

In 2003, US citizen Rachel Corrie was killed by Israeli soldiers using a US-provided bulldozer. Her parents are calling on senators to vote yes today to block $295 million worth of these bulldozers to Israel. Join them by calling your senators TODAY:

But here is the thing: the Gospel *is* political, in that in the Gospel the bare truth is that all kings, presidents, militaries, every and all power is nothing compared to God, who always chooses solidarity with the poor, the oppressed, the crucified. Before God, all riches are rot.

I know this guy—he’s part of our S Sudanese chapel here. He was working to get his life together against the array of poverty, instability, and trauma. I experienced him as kind and generous and thoughtful. This system is the absolute worst.

Happy Still Easter y’all

It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

In all seriousness, this would be one of the perils of trying to keep politics out of the pulpit. The politicians frequently do not have this compulsion. We end up silent, and like the psalmist says, then everyone thinks we are like them.

Patriarch of Constantinople too vague on maritime law! Autocephalous heads of Russian Orthodox Churches Outside of Russia (ROCOR) silent on progressive vs flat tax!

See, now the problem is I can’t use my “Look, it’s not like the president pays attention to what we do or say anyway” argument anymore because evidently he does, in his own entirely nonsensical way. What is this world.

WHEN WILL THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY STOP INFLATION

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

Be funny if Usha was like “how’d the trip go?”

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

This is just simply the dumbest thing I have ever heard. ….why would you not want bagels, you absolute pineapple? Or tacos? Or pho? Or palak paneer? Or HALAL CART?! Why, in the name of all that’s holy, would you want to be so miserable?!

y'all I'm a freaking Calvinist who believes in total depravity, and even then I still think it is MORE THAN POSSIBLE to find candidates for public office who aren't A.) sex pests; B.) toxic bosses; and C.) grossly unqualified for leadership - I don't think it's THAT HARD

first in my bloodline to see someone get excommunicated by a community note

LMAO. THE ABSOLUTE NONSENSE OF THIS!! These people are in a cult. No, your text-extruding plagiarism machine does not have a fucking soul, you ridiculous dorks. Jesus wept. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...

Let’s use government to do more cool stuff (help people, explore space) and less bad stuff (pointless wars, racist and illegal immigration policies).

I do love that despite the absolute mess that humans can be, everyone we send to space comes back wonder struck and overwhelmed by the beauty of creation and the unity of humanity.

I do appreciate in a deep way that it seems that NASA directed all their money into not burning up the astronauts, and not, say, cell phones and email.

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

Also, I think it does not say much good about my stress level that I’m now starting massive cross stitch projects on linen just to see if I can squint myself into a meditative state.

It is crazy to me how much low hanging fruit there turns out to be in being the NYC mayor/a competent government official. Again, did yall know that if you wanted, you could just do good things for people at scale? AND HAVE GOOD MEMES?!?

*talking to teenage militant atheist self* current me: okay so there’s a big fight between the government and the catholic church teenage me: got it, so we’re obviously on the side of the government current me: I, uh, you might want to sit down for this one

Both my kids, independently and unprompted, demanded I read the Butter Battle Book to them tonight. This is some very complex psych-ops stuff right here.

I tell my students "it's not often when studying church history comes in handy, but when it does, it's usually not good." As a reminder only reason there was an Avignon papacy is Philip IV of France had Boniface VIII murdered for opposing his efforts to tax the French church.
