Definitely hope-scrolling with the news out of Hungary. #Hungary

Republicans, you can stop this madness. That you have chosen not to is the largest moral and political failing in the history of the this nation. Whatever happens next is all on you. All of you. #Republicans

Looking to continue your celebration of Black History Month? Join us at Genesis Lutheran Church in Detroit for our Annual African American Taste Fest following worship this Sunday (Feb 22). Worship is at 10am, the Taste Fest follows.

We need all of the journalists who have been sacked, let go, or who have left #WAPO, to go the @defector.com route and build their own newspaper and make it worker owned.

In the midst of everything, I know this isn't the most important thing in the world, but honestly, if you use AI for memes or gifs or other social media whatnot, I am going to block you.

New from @pamherd.bsky.social & I: Key takeaways from Mamdani's inauguration speech. "Mamdani will force a conversation among the left about how it should govern." 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/understand...

Hey, #eurosport - you going to finally switch to the UK Snooker championship?

The squirrel Thanksgiving dinner seems to be going well. #Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!

The townhouse project is making great progress. By this time next year 31 families will be joining us on the corner of Mack and the Boulevard in Detroit. #Detroit

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Amazing and vital stuff from Coates.

A parishioner once said of the various kerfuffles in the congregation at the time, 'well, a few well placed funerals would do the trick.' Not sure why that's been floating through my thinking as of late. #America

God, Slavery, and Early Christianity is out in the real world with @universitypress.cambridge.org! I have some extra, so retweet this by the end of Oct. 19 if you’re interested in receiving a copy! Book info here: www.cambridge.org/core/books/g...

Quick biblical accuracy reminder: Too many fundamentalist folks have read the whole rapture thing wrong. Newsflash - if some are taken (and that’s a massive if) the bad people get taken first. You’re welcome. #rapture

Defector has to be one of the best models for journalism moving forward.

Hot Nashville Chicken and Biscuits (scratch) for after church brunch today.

Hey, #peacocktv why do you delay your start of la Vuelta every day?

‘Poison goes where poison is welcome.’ -Terry Pratchett, I Shall Wear Midnight Seems like far too many in our country are most welcoming to just about every kind of poison.

Perhaps we also need to put together an evangelism strategy/push. #elcacwa25

Huge shout out to @revbirder.bsky.social for your live skeeting of the #elcacwa25 - what a great help to those of us who haven’t been able to watch every plenary session live.

Not really complaining, but they really need to push out the first ballot results for secretary. It’s getting late and I’ve got a Homegoing tomorrow morning. #elcacwa25

Great introduction, Bishop Curry! #elcacwa25

Can someone point me to the full list of the first ballot? Curious to see if a couple folks I know actually got their moment in the sun with a vote or two. #elcacwa25

Hoping that there is critical mass here on BlueSky to actually get some news about the ELCA Churchwide Assembly. #elcacwa25

The Townhouse Project has begun here at Genesis Lutheran Church in Detroit. We are building thirty-one 2-3 bedroom townhouses right here on our land - Yes In Our Backyard! #Detroit

Exactly this. The party of 'personal responsibility', will always find someone else to blame for these tragedies but themselves, even God.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Not for the first (or last), I really want to travel back in time and discourage John of Patmos from writing the Book of Revelation. Me: John, I get what you want to say, but just about everyone is gonna interpret this completely, and dangerously, wrong.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Perhaps the most important speech of the year.

Pope Leo's first sermon and, uh, his using the phrase "be ever more fully a city set upon a hill" and cf'ing it to Rev 21:10 instead of any of the others before saying "many baptized Christians" are "living in a state of practical atheism" is. Well. Shots fired! www.npr.org/2025/05/09/g...

To the conclave tonight…

Merch acquired - concert starts here in Stockholm in two hours. Looking forward to an amazing @stevenwilsonhq.bsky.social show!

This may be the best visual joke/maddening truth I’ve seen in a very long time. Kudos to the creator.

An illuminating trip to Avignon.

In Aachen today.

Great to get the opportunity to meet Steven Wilson at a signing event in Leeds last week.

Maybe we will just stay here…

Lizzie enjoying the first real warmth and sunshine of the year.

Professors please pull up a chair. I’ve been talking to my classes about what has been going on. I explained indirect costs to them. I talked to them about what a probationary employee is in the government. At the end of class they asked if we could talk about it more. (1/)

The best way to put the exclamation point on your Black History Month celebrations? Yep, the annual African American Taste Fest at Genesis Lutheran Church. This Sunday, following worship (which starts at 10am). See you Sunday!

Baptism is one of the great joys of pastoral ministry - and we celebrated in grand fashion with Axel on Sunday.
