all this working on my job pivot, plus creating space for ALH and jyotiṣa, and working on The Project has me realizing that the core of my Work isn't teaching or advising or even sharing information; the core of my Work is reconnecting what has been severed. /1

aaaaAAAGGHH I just spilled my St. Expedite BPAL perfume oil from Sphere and Sundry all over my hands at the moment I was asking him to clear a way so I'm not sure which way this omen is going I managed to salvage a little bit of it in the vial and got the rest off my hands with a clean handkerchief

'The Lord is enshrined in the hearts of all. The Lord is the supreme Reality. Rejoice in him through renunciation. Covet nothing. All belongs to the Lord' (Isha Upanishad). 🕉🧡

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

I learned what "AI wrappers" are yesterday and I just threw it on the pile of other things to be mad about when I have time (they're startups that just put ChatGPT in a user interface, of course the plagiarism machine would attract parasites)

I have found consciously choosing creativity to be a stupendously powerful countermeasure to anxiety.

Knives out: the upper middle class are squabbling vicious children who do not deserve their inheritance Glass onion: the new elite are the stupidest murderous cunts alive and deserve your scorn Wake up dead man: those preaching anger as salvation are leading you to death, hope and kindness matter

on the fourth day of Christmas I ✅ wrote a new resume that translated all my ministry jargon into tech friendly jingo ✅ updated my LinkedIn ✅ updated my Indeed profile ✅ applied for two jobs ...you would not *believe* how much tech support is part of my role as a pastor

got to worship at my dad's delightful United Methodist Church this morning and it's so nice to be in a simple country church setting and feel extravagantly welcomed, too (and it's the perfect vibe for him)

interstellar still makes me cry after seeing it a dozen times

my team won the family Taboo game, naturally

I saw a post asking if animals practice magick. Short answer? Yes. With nothing but a single glance in my direction, my dog can wordlessly compell me to give her her heart's desire (usually peanut butter treats or tummy rubs.) I don't know many other magicians who could pull that off.

sorry I'm late! I have at last broken my silence on Pantone's Color of the Year johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

In the middle of singing a hymn in church, my tiny Goddaughter climbed up onto the pew next to me, gently placed her hand on my chest, and said "Don't worry, I can teach you to sing."

Merry Christmas. Please enjoy the best text I've ever received.

who else is doing the Christmastide Omen Walk? I had a really, really good one yesterday to start (although I think it technically starts on the 25th proper) and another today (H/t @omenhawk.bsky.social for introducing it to me (also I think they have a guide about it for the curious?))

despite being in a car all day I still somehow managed to hit my step count?! a Christmas miracle if ever

Calvin's face expresses everything I, too, feel about Christmas on the road

Her power wanes...

And now for some motivation from the Owensboro Burger King.

we had a profoundly lovely Longest Night service yesterday evening. lots of tears, silence, light, stillness in the dark. "Love stir within the womb of night and death's long shadows put to flight..."

In this season of self indulgence please remember to give a little kindness to the birds

1. The federal government has just attempted to enact a national trans youth care ban. A new HHS rule would shutter most gender-affirming care for trans youth nationwide. It violates multiple laws and the constitution, and will likely go into effect in a few months. Our latest story here:

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Data centers dominated 2025. They (shakily) propped up the economy, they got exponentially bigger, and they provoked resistance across the country. So we spent 2025 covering data centers, and the fight back, from the perspective of working people. perfectunion.us/data-centers/

if there's one thing my boomer democrat parishioners hate it's being reminded that Biden deported more people than you-know-who

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”

This is the war on Christmas - it could be a tweet from Herod’s ministry of war. This is the sort of blasphemy that ought to enrage Christians everywhere. Jesus’ birth story is of a family forced to leave their home due to an authoritarian ruler and political violence. The context is right there.
