How April is going: I am eating salami, cheese crisps, pickles, and SkinnyPop for dinner

As always, @mskellymhayes.bsky.social is essential reading. organizingmythoughts.org/rupture-and-...

A reminder, because a new post went up today, that the Episcopal Migration Caucus is posting a meditation on the lectionary readings with reference to Migration With Dignity, every week: episcopal-migration-caucus.ghost.io/lectionary/ ⚓ You can subscribe to the newsletter!!

lol this one is easy, I’m “the abolition lady” ⚓️

One of the reasons I turned abolitionist was realizing that every form of detention and incarceration is DESIGNED to separate people from relationships of love and support, which create social stability.

Oooh look this list has KATABASIS and "Phantom View" and "Landline" and WE WILL RISE AGAIN

I’m sorry I keep book-posting, y’all, I just really want everybody to know about it

For real now: YOU CAN PRE-ORDER MY BOOK!!! www.fortresspress.com/store/produc...

This is WHY Defund the Police wasn’t a “bad slogan”; the basic reality is, we can spend money on violence or we can spend it on helping people. The power of violence makes it harder to help people. Cutting budgets frees up resources and changes conditions of power.

It’s a book about prison abolition, and about sacraments, and about space and geography, and about how we build different kinds of communities. Constructive theology with practical effects, I hope. ⚓️

Oh wow. Instant preorder.

Haha we unironically have something like this in our parish bulletin, after somebody made an anonymous complaint about one of my kids 😂

That it may please thee to show thy pity upon all prisoners and captives, the homeless and the hungry, and all who are desolate and oppressed,

OK so it's only Canada for now but I am too excited not to share: the pre-order links for MY BOOK are starting to go up; it's appeared on the Indigo site www.indigo.ca/en-ca/abolit... (hi Canadian friends!) (cc @ryankturnbull.bsky.social)

I’m also worried about the heat shield

I am deeply distressed about the concentration camps (reports from surprise inspections at Everglades and Mesa and while the conditions are not surprising for American incarceration, we are talking about concentration camp shit)

See what the critics are raving about! IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS launches in just 33 DAYS. #IgnoreThisBook

This is important and the practical effects for upstream things to do/support to try to effect what seems like a totally intractable problem are helpful. (And for people of faith: for God’s sake pray for the people in these camps)

I’m really worried about the losses in funding — federal and state — for programs like this and other restorative-justice and relational anti-violence work. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... I’d love to see some of the Episcopal anti-gun-violence activism focus on supporting these programs. ⚓️

@ronhogan.bsky.social unrelated but while we’re chatting, you saw the new icon, right? bsky.app/profile/kati...

"This is a God who knows, in his body, what it is to suffer under the hellish forces of the nations that gloat as they massacre the innocent, and this God is going to burn it all down." sojo.net/articles/cul...

Here is a new anastasis icon worth your attention: bsky.app/profile/hann...

Get that man some coffee. And maybe put on a pot for Adam and Eve too, since they’ve been dead longer.

Mother of the year moment: left my daughter’s Easter present on top of the minivan after church, leading to its inevitable tumble somewhere onto the side of the road. 🤦‍♀️ (Yes, we’re replacing it but not until tomorrow because, it turns out, stores are closed on Easter.)

Happy Easter!

Meanwhile while I was gone I inhaled all the Dungeon Crawler Carl books (once you start you can’t put them down).

Happy Easter! I’m back! The most important thing I want to share today is this new @benwildflower.com icon, an abolitionist anastasis icon showing Jesus harrowing the Hell of imprisonment, which is BREATHTAKING. (I commissioned this piece.) Proclaim resurrection and liberation, friends!

“Welcoming new immigrants is a moral obligation and a joy as we build relationships across differences of ethnicity… Christians should desire a society freed from divisions of national origin, practicing love for new neighbors as an expression of faith.”— @hannahnpbowman.com at @sojo.net

Among the many insights in this fascinating book is that people basically use gambling to dissociate from profound loneliness and unhappiness. It’s not to win or even for fun, it’s just to compulsively cover up sad numbness. Really sad and thought-provoking book (also fascinating phenomenology!)

Dems need to adopt loving your neighbor as praxis. No, we will not tolerate you kidnapping our neighbors and putting them in torture prisons. No, we will not tolerate you taking our neighbors' dignity, safety, and civil rights away.

How and why police actually support the federal invasions—I have been working on this article for ~6 months, trying to make sense of Trump’s nationwide surge of DHS officers, how it has evolved, what brought us here, and what will remain after it ends.

We are rewatching Babylon 5 now that it’s on YouTube and man, that is the platonic ideal of what a space station looks like. That’s just what they all look like in my head. The variety of interiors are perfection.
