Me listening to stories in the diocese from the Before Times

It’s been raining most of the day, but, oh, my heart place is here at Bishop’s Ranch.

I’m wearing my t-shirt with a coffin that says “Get in, Loser” for the diocesan clergy picture. 💀💀💀

Imagine what it means for my world that the new Archbishop of Canterbury announcement and the new Taylor Swift album both drop this Friday.

I find it only somewhat amusing that our evening reflection was on mattering when another clergy woman and I have been confused for each other multiple times today.

Y’all, we have a family that scheduled a funeral with an outside reception in Cow Hollow the Saturday afternoon of Fleet Week. This would save us a lot of angst.

fleet week sure hits different when the government has said they want to militarily occupy the city where you live, just saying

I got my vaccines yesterday because I was at the doctor and they offered them to me. But today I have to drive to clergy retreat, and I feel like a warmed-over turd.

Going to be honest that I’m having a really tough time talking to people I know voted for Trump without screaming at them, “IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED?! ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?!?!”

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

TFW the President of the United States declares war on the city where you live.

There are two basic types of military thinkers: the ones who believe in the glorious charge, and the ones who keep track of pussy things like “supply lines” and “logistics” and “what the weather’s doing”

Frankly didn’t expect Congress to completely give up their power.

Kaiser gave me a big old sheet to look at before they’d give me the COVID vaccine. Very strange times.

Everything about Orlando is awful. Places I've surprisingly enjoyed: Tulsa and Milwaukee.

I made a meme inspired by an r/Episcopalian post. ⚓

Depending how I’m feeling, sometimes it’s a relief that I work on both Thanksgiving and Christmas. There’s no expectation for me to “come home.”

Happy Michaelmas!

If you’re the grocery shopper in your household, do you get yourself a treat when you shop, and if so, what is it? Mine is usually a kombucha, especially if they’re on sale.

We all remember that part of the Gospels where Joseph goes to the Egyptian consulate to make sure their refugee status has been approved and then leaves with the visas and documentation in hand so they could present them to the officials working the border checkpoint.

My husband’s love language is gifts, which means he ran into the Korean Harvest Festival in the Presidio today and brought me home some beer with a capybara on the logo.

Ma’am, one of the greatest comedians of all time told a G rated joke about escalators decades ago that was so good that thousands of people immediately thought of it this week

Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is a study of competing goods. Like, how do I pick between Margo Price and The War and The Treaty if they’re both playing at the same time?!?!

Today I learned that my melatonin powder and fiber powder look very similar. Fortunately before I drank it and put myself to sleep the day of a big work thing.

I made the oven-roasted chicken shawarma from NYT Cooking tonight, served with pita, feta, cucumber, tomato, feta, and white sauce, and that’s a keeper of a recipe.

Famous American citizen Wernher von Braun.

It is absolutely imperative everyday Americans do not associate rising fascism with good economic indicators and pleasant vibes

The thing about male loneliness discourse is that my husband probably has more friends (local) than I do, and everyone loves him and wants to spend time with him. So maybe be more like him?

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

So there is actually, quite literally no level of fame that you can achieve without some nowhere talentless asshole insisting you work for free in exchange for “exposure.” Good to fucking know!!!

I’m working on some of my boundaries around work, so I took a little mental health walk in the middle of the day to visit the dahlias in Golden Gate Park before they’re finished blooming for the year.

Remember when San Francisco basically told people to never keep anything in their car for even a single second, and acted like it was crazy to have anything in your car at any time, and then in the last year or so just decided to arrest like 20 people and now car break ins are down like 70%

So, I felt a little queasy about Prop 50 because, in theory, I think gerrymandering is bad no matter who does it. I was gerrymandered out of representation in Nashville, and that sucked. But I'm voting for Prop 50 because it's temporary & will return to the independent committee in 2030.

AOC stars in new ad urging California to vote "yes" on new redistricting map. "Donald Trump is redrawing election maps to force through a Congress that only answers to him ... With Prop. 50, we can stop him."

voting is a fucking sacred duty and the fact that people don't treat it with the respect that it deserves is telling. you are not "selecting" an electoral product on the market - you are engaging in a form of mobilization and deciding what your values are

I know pro cycling is a bit of a niche sport in the US, but the protests at La Vuelta led to the title sponsors of the Israel-Premier Tech team demanding a name & flag change.

Shoot for the moon. If you miss, reload and fire again. The moon must be stopped at all costs.

Me but for a Philomena Cunk costume

They’ve asked to see his portfolio! Keep the prayers coming!

r/Anglicanism is an awful place that I try to steer clear of, but I had to laugh about a post about churches participating in Pride Parades and how no church of any denomination should participate in SPECIFICALLY the San Francisco Pride Parade.

My patriotism is opossum-based.

Shaun King becoming the Brianna Wu of Rachel Dolezals

nobody's done more to promote political violence than the GOP, but damn if the dems haven't played a huge role in creating the conditions for mass violence by absolutely choking off any sense that people can create positive change through non-violent, traditional political channels

Frankly did not feel very bisexually visible today.

Today I received a 4 paragraph e-mail about comma placement in a funeral announcement.

I don't know how it's going for anyone else, but I am straight-up not having a good time right now.

What I'm struggling with today is how the right can have all of the power of the federal government, and yet people still act as if they are so put upon and oppressed.

Today the Episcopal Church commemorates Thecla of Iconium, and her story goes so hard. - saved from burning at the stake - beat up a nobleman who tried to assault her - saved in the arena by female wild animals - baptized herself in "a lake full of aggressive seals" who were struck by lightning
