Hail Mary, full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. (Feel free to join me.)

How is the Philly organist not playing A View to a Kill right now?!

The Puppy Bowl is the greatest thing humankind has ever created. I will brook no argument.

Hi Episcopal and Anglican friends. Looking for reading recommendations for a family who is looking to engage faithfully and lovingly with a trans family member. Thanks in advance. ⚓

Protect SNAP.

This Kruk/Kruc conversation is just the goofiness I need tonight. #phillies

Dear ESPN, Once again, I would like to say that if it is impossible to *watch* two tennis matches at the same time, it is even more impossible to *listen* to two at the same time. Especially when one player in each match is named Taylor. Sincerely, Erika "tired of multitasking" Takacs

What movie do you consider "perfect"?

This country chooses this. We choose, every single time a child is killed in a shooting, to let it happen again. I pray, with my whole broken heart, that we will have the courage to choose differently. Lord, have mercy.

Thank you @newversenews.bsky.social for sharing my latest poem, written in response to Christian nationalist pastor Doug Wilson's recent comment that "women are the kind of people that people come out of." It's called One Interpretation.

Ugh. The Mets.

Just thinking today about my friend Elizabeth Felicetti on the first anniversary of her death. She was a brilliant priest and author, a fabulously feisty human, and JBap's #1 fangirl. I miss her a lot, and I know lots of others do too. ⚓

Wheeler has a particularly intense resting pitch face today.

Chris Guccione talking with such pride about Jen Pawol is such a hopeful watch, especially after the whole Pete Hegseth nightmare.

If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it.

Stott!!!! Brilliant.

So ready for the Bohm/Bader Pantene commercial.

"He's really fricking good." Love hearing Bryce Harper loving on Cristopher Sánchez.

Loving this Phillies game. It's like we're all having a conversation with the one guy in the Philly connect jersey behind home plate, because he's the only one making any noise at all.

J.T. Realmuto. Wizard.

Found myself arguing with a character (unnamed, no spoilers) in the Netflix show Untamed because when he got shot in the woods he used *mud* to try to stop the bleeding WHEN THERE WAS SO MUCH MOSS EVERYWHERE! He is obviously not a fan of @andrewhunterm.bsky.social or NSTAAF. (Doofus.)

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Andrea Gibson's death. They were a beautiful, honest, courageous person. Their memory will certainly be a blessing to many.

Yes and yes.

I went with extra hard mode: no Jane Austen adaptations.

Watching a replay of last night's Phillies game. I really couldn't love Tom McCarthy more, but even so, it warmed my heart to hear him say "two innings or fewer."

When you wake up with Tevye's Dream in your head and wonder what your brain and was working on last night ... #TheTailorMotelKamzoil

NEMBHARD!!!

I am very sad for Tyrese Haliburton.

I would like to travel back in time to when people accepted that "resilience" was all the noun we needed.

Prayers for everyone raising their voices today. May they embody Mary’s vision of God’s kingdom: the mighty scattered in their pride, and the lowly lifted up with joy.

Teddy Roosevelt got this one right....

Don't know what it says about me that the thing that bothered me most about A Discovery of Witches (among so many things - not least that I couldn't stop watching it) was the blatant disregard of Robert's Rules in the final meeting of Congregation.

Besides being a tremendously influential, fearless, and generous musician, Joan Lippincott was one of the kindest, most genuine people I have ever had the privilege to know. I imagine she and JSB are having a whale of a time on some organ bench in heaven. May she rest in peace.

Where is Toby when we need him? youtu.be/MsRqvSObQvE?...

TNT bragging about their Spanish language broadcasters for the NBA playoffs - and then showing them calling the game by watching it on TV in a broom closet - doesn't ring true to me. Couldn't they, you know, buy them a ticket to the actual game?!

There's been a decided lack of HIMYM Frog Lake gifs in light of RFK's recent swim. I am, officially, correcting that. IYKYK

A new poem published today in the marvelous @amethyst_review. And they selected such a lovely photo to go with my words! I encourage you to check out this journal - and you can read my poem here: amethystmagazine.org

Love the bookstore-led resistance here. (Also, want a great reading list about issues of race, gender, feminism, and queer identity? You'll find it in this list of books that have been pulled from the shelves at the USNA.) #DontGiveUpTheBook

Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me. ⚓

I know I'm late to this party, but I'm watching The Gilded Age and loving it...but again I cry into the void: movie costume folks, please call me if you have questions about vestments!!! (Also, you should, you really should, have questions.)

A new poem, entitled "Confessing Church" - inspired by Brian Bilston's "Refugees." And like @brianbilston.bsky.social wrote when he published his poem nine years ago... please bear with it.

The disparity between one set of headlines - about the death of Pope Francis - and the other set - about politicians protecting their lackeys while insulting those they disagree with, wars starting up again, tariffs on solar panels, and new lawsuits...is particularly striking today.

Rory! Well done, sir. ⛳

I would like to mark my return to Bluesky (I know Lent isn't over - it just feels like time) by saying that Jack Lowden as Mr. Darcy is the kind of news I need to get through these challenging times. #GingerDarcy #ImHereForIt

Breaking my Lenten Bluesky fast to ask a lectionary question: does anyone know why TEC's RCL has Exodus for the first reading on Lent III, but other denominations' RCL pages list Isaiah? Did we just default to the old BCP lectionary for some reason? ⚓

Pancakes consumed. Have a holy Lent, y'all - see you on the other side. +

Okay, sacristy peeps: recommendations on the best container for storing, and then pouring, Holy Water? Starting fresh with this at the new parish and want to buy the best thing. ⚓

Really wish I could be in Philly today.
