Look, broadly speaking, I'm pro automated vehicles. When the tech is ready, there are many use cases & goodness knows human drivers are dangerous. But it's bonkers to me that companies get to treat our streets as test beds, and us as test subjects, without our consent. share.google/JVa2i9taTHwU...

In this season of Advent, I'm imagining John the Baptist being irrationally exuberant about Kate's judgment: "'Pie really is an American evil,' Kate Masterson wrote in the New York Times in 1902. It is an 'unmoral food,' she warned, offering advice for spotting pie eaters:

This is the first holiday shopping season since the Trump administration made a major change to customs rules, extending tariffs and customs fees to low-value packages that had long been exempt.

K&W cafeterias did not open their doors today. I have so many memories of going there with my parents in Winston-Salem in the 70s and 80s. Daddy would always, and I mean always, choose a slice of egg custard pie for dessert. I also went there as a student at Wake Forest University.

We also don't talk enough about how the demands of a sport and the demands of long-term health and longevity are not always compatible. Football and CTE are the most extreme examples of this, but we need to stop thinking that athletes are healthy, period (said neutrally)

When an undergrad at Wake Forest, I spent a semester at Worrell House in London with a group of students and New Testament professor Charles H. Talbert. It was one of the best things I’ve ever experienced and in no small part contributed to me becoming an Episcopal priest. 💛🖤🎩⚓️

“. . . Virginia [Hollis], who had recently received her first communion, regularly expressed faith in God’s goodness. . . . The river flooded because it was prone to flooding. Higher ground was near. This tragedy ‘wasn’t in God’s plan,’ Lars Hollis said. ‘Humans made gross mistakes.’” ⚓️

Gratitude is more than an emotional state. It’s a twofold recognition: that something is *good*, and that that good something is not solely the result of your own efforts or deserving

May light perpetual shine upon her.

Minnesota has the nation’s largest Somali community. Many fled the long civil war in their east African country and were drawn to the state’s welcoming social programs.

Told my students here in Iowa City to make sure to have deviled eggs and macaroni & cheese with their Thanksgiving Dinner next week and the look of horror and concern tells me: Sarah, you’re not in the South.

“You have sown much, and harvested little; you eat, but you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill; you clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes.” Morning prayer readings are…ripped from the headlines. ⚓️

Greetings from the Lone Star State.

As an Episcopal priest, I applaud this. ⚓
