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.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Feeling like I am going to be praying the Great Litany tonight as part of my Compline...just feels appropriate given *all* that we are dealing with right now. ⚓✝️

Why would you fangirl Gavin Newsom when you have a perfectly good JB Pritzker right there…

Highly tempted to do this myself. 👍

Having followed Newsom since his political start in San Francisco, I agree 100%. Democrats can do much better than this Clintonesque triangulator.

It's always helpful to have people on social media explain my own religion to me

Great news indeed! But we need a lot more of this sort of thing for workers to get what they truly deserve.

100% agree. I lived in SF from 1996-2017 and can attest that taking transit and walking everywhere was a great quality of life for me! Really miss that now that I have to have a car to get anywhere.

most religious people on earth just follow their religion and live their life and go about their day, that's all, they do not need your rescue attempt

I just wouldn’t worship that sort of god. There are other, better things I could do with my time & devotion. But the Good News is, thanks be to God, I don’t have to worship that sort of god at all. 2/2

I regularly shock (disgust?) some Christians when I say that I would simply not worship a god who is fully the one they describe. A god I could imagine myself being more gracious or forgiving than. A god that is tethered to ideas of retributive “justice” rather restorative justice…. 1/2

No cheating. Post the last picture of your pet.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 119 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo or video of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

Miss Rachel continues to have more of a moral backbone than 99% of public figures

It is moments like this that you begin to understand why so many have demonized empathy and compassion. They want us to care so little for others that we will ignore injustices being carried out against them. It is in moments like these that love for others is revolutionary.

Monty is just giving me LIFE right now! 😍❤️

pride month only ends if we say it ends, mofos 😤 🩷💜💙 🏳️‍🌈

Well, this is certainly an interesting mix of folks!

This. So much this!

Rich socialist: spoiled, theory-brained brat out of touch with the Real People Poor socialist: lazy freeloader who wants a handout Old socialist: fossil trapped in the past Young socialist: naive child, doesn’t know How The World Works There’s no discussion with these people. Defeat them.
