Most Heartily We Beseech Thee (The Brimmerverse, Book Two) has been submitted for publication.

I present to you, via the Church of England, the oldest English translation of the Nicene Creed, written in the year 992. ⚓️

So, today it was back to the Angelus. ⚓️

@briantylercohen.bsky.social “Another Day” on the Not-So-Great Divorce is brilliant.

I hadn’t really considered that the rich might just eat each other.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

I love that I have friends to whom I can say “I was officiating at Evening Prayer,” who will know what I mean, not think I’m crazy, and not ask me if I’m going to be a priest. ⚓️

In which a certain superlistener is quoted about sportsball.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

I’m organizing a small author fair for independent LGBTQ authors in Houston in early August. If you are a self-published queer author in Metro Houston or know one, please DM me.

Maybe I’m losing my grip on reality. Maybe it’s denial. For some reason, I’m not afraid.

It’s @skircle.bsky.social time!

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

I wonder how long it will take to repair all the damage the felon and his cronies are doing. Decades?

It feels a little more like America tonight.

@booker.senate.gov and Susan Crawford are now two of my heroes.

I’m now a creator! 😁

This was such fun. Liz and I created Schroeder! A comic opera about Schroeder’s self doubts while preparing for the (fictional) Junior Van Clyburn competition.

Keeping despair in check is now a full-time job.

I will be selling and signing books at the Local Indie Author Book Fair at Copperfield’s Books, 8220 Louetta. The fair is April 5th and 6th from 10 to 5 (I may be there late on the 6th). #brimmerverse

Super listener @johnmerullo.bsky.social met our guest at SD Comic-Con in 2008. Friend of the show @toddbotdotcom.bsky.social says he met her at NancyFest 2024 (but we have no evidence). Send us your photos of meeting Snoopy.

The Good Shepherd lesson from John at Evening Prayer was exactly what I needed. ⚓️

American Evangelicalism is incompatible with Christianity. ⚓️

I would be all right with a 100% tax on all personal wealth over $999,999,999.

I’m so tired of living in a state and in a country run by greedy, corrupt, bigots.

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

I’m a delegate from my parish to our Diocesan Council (convention). I truly felt hope and joy at the opening Eucharist. I really needed it. We ended with “God is Love.” Indeed. ⚓️

Today’s collect, for St. Agatha, hit hard.

A friend once said, “I know he’ll send the rich empty away, but I wish he’d hurry up and do it.” Now would be a good time.

I will commit the sin of empathy. ⚓️
