Reminded yet again that I am dust. #AshWednesday #Lent #TouchPews ⚓️

Friend: "And if I'm not on a government watch list by the end of this, I haven't done my part."

i love how texas started this and was all “neener what you gon do” and a buncha blue states said “lol watch this”

Anyone who still thinks Newsom is gonna be the Democratic savior for 2028 needs to read this. Duran is spot on in ripping him to shreds here.

Amen! We have definitely been seeing this at my church here in Albuquerque as well. Our ASA went from 158 to 194 just over the last year.

i think people mad about bad bunny’s performance have never been forced to consider that not everything is for you

That was one of the best Super Bowl halftime shows I’ve ever seen. This is a part of the version of America that I want and want to live in! Such joy and passion! No wonder that the joyless MAGA people hate it.

on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Our president is and always has been a racist. Openly. Proudly. Our president is and always has been a criminal. Openly. Proudly. Either you support him. Or you oppose him. Openly. Proudly. I oppose him because I have honor. And he has none.

Picard style tip: If you're balding, don't hide it. Own it.

Seems like we escaped the worst of the winter storm in Albuquerque, so I am once again #touchingpews this morning. ⚓️

Tomorrow is Sunday. James David Vance should be denied Communion.

This is pretty much my take on the situation as well, and why I am deeply pessimistic about the future of the USA.

100% true.

I'm old enough to remember when bearing false witness was a sin

In Minneapolis

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission. The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

ICE murders again. And they will murder again in the future. Abolish ICE. ICE is antichrist.

Happy Birthday, New Mexico! On this day in 1912, New Mexico officially became the 47th (and greatest) state.

BREAKING: Explosions felt across New York City as full socialism begins

Very much so.

Every year, people mock this tree. Yet it carries an important message. It reminds us that if we stand together in tough times, we can overcome anything. Merry Christmas ✨

Merry Christmas to you all from St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Albuquerque! Due to an upcoming renovation, this is likely our last Christmas in our current sanctuary. But I am excited for what’s to come!

“Like prime, but with human beings”

I don't think free speech on campus ought to mean that a young coddled bigot gets to use their ignorance to casually destroy the career of a knowledgeable trans person on a random Wednesday

It's very important we all go back to Twitter, a website as popular with young people as chlamydia.

🚨 QUESTION PROMPT 🚨 What was your first automobile? Mine was a 1988 Mazda 323 hatchback, which I bought when I was in the Army. It was a peppy little car and I loved it to pieces! The picture is not of my actual car, but mine was the same color and configuration.

I can say that the Episcopal church I attend has been growing in attendance over the past few years and this was particularly noticeable since the last presidential election. So I think Pr. Dueholm is right that there is potential for growth in mainline churches! ⚓✝️

bugs bunny was literally the first guy in drag i ever saw but ok

Gallego still on his way down the Fetterman/Sinema/Manchin trail, only arguably worse. What a disappointment he has turned out to be.

@profanity.accountant OK, I’ll play along…let me have it!

100% this! There is a whole history of religious people who are/were politically on the left.

There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

I am not kidding when I say this is idolatry and blasphemy. It is wicked and will prey on people Jesus loves. I call on the church to declare this anathema.

Sounds good to me! They can lift themselves up by their own bootstraps, just like they're always telling the rest of us to do.

I think "Gilded Age 2.0" would be more like it.

SNAP is a lifeline for food-insecure people and families, and it is also an indirect cash transfer to corporations, who get away with paying poverty wages bc they're able to outsource the social safety net to SNAP and other programs.

Sharing this for Narthex folks. ⚓

Touching pews today at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Albuquerque, my home parish. In the background is part of the ofrenda we have set up for All Saints . #touchpews ⚓️

In short: no In long: No by any means and over my dead body. It’s exactly what Christofascists want. They want Mainline, moderate, and orthodox conservative voices to shut up and let their heresy be the sole voice of Christendom. This is the exact moment we must be extremely loud about who Jesus is

Yes, we did! #NoKings #Albuquerque #ABQ

Hey, all! Just wanted to say that I had a GREAT time today at the #NoKings march in Albuquerque! Marched with some friends from my church. Great crowd and energy and thanks to Speaker Johnson for inspiring me to go! ⚓️

Probably a mistake to have narcissistic billionaire children with petty-god complexes run the society and economy of a people taught from birth that empathy is evil and selfishness is patriotism.

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

This is something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately myself. The challenge for me is how to build time for Sabbath/rest/recuperation into my life, but I believe it will be well worth it.
