Clausewitz is, I assure you, a whirling dervish in his grave at this point

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

Jasmine Crockett is amazing and any Democrat who doesn't vote for her is unfathomable to me

I am Gen X. Name me one, ONE, legitimate mainstream media news source. THAT is why young people dislike the news media.

This is really good; please read it!

"and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us" As always, if we love our neighbor, we will prevail.

Just want to note, @drkatiecross.bsky.social , that I loved your back and forth with John Swinton in @theoscot.bsky.social !! I have one criticism - it wasn't long enough! I hope the book goes into more detail!

I learned this at one of the trauma panels at #aarsbl25 and yes, I completely agree. I don't have this, and it's something I have to think about as I move forward with my career. I have lots of casual friends but no one close.

To the woman in my church who voted for him because she was afraid Kamala would send her grandson to die in a pointless war: Hope you're satisfied with what you've achieved.

there is so much to be glad of, to be grateful for. the times are evil, the future is uncertain at a fundamental level, the powers of sin and death stand arrayed against all that which seeks the good of this world and those who live in it. and there is still so much to be glad of.

Things like this make me agree with the endless screaming account.

Awesome panel on Trans Biblical: New Approaches to Interpretation and Embodiment in Scripture!! #aarsbl25

Very much looking forward to attending @candidamoss.bsky.social 's panel tomorrow as well as @baileyafreeburn.bsky.social 's TWO presentations! Oh, and also the always amazing @alexianafry.bsky.social 's panel!!!! (I do hope there will be singing!) #aarsbl25

@jonmathieu.bsky.social Hi Jon! Good seeing you today!

@drkatiecross.bsky.social Hi! We talked back in the summer about having coffee at the Boston conference and discussing trauma and theology - I am here and will be attending your sessions!

Boston, I am in you!!! #aarsbl25

Mine keeps making random turns down interesting looking streets

Gee, Jake, maybe Biden wasn't the one you should have focused on?

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. It is a day when we in the trans community remember those who have been murdered or committed suicide in the last year. We read their names, so that they won’t be forgotten. For many of us, it is an emotional day. We know that it could have been us. 1/?

Say their names. ALL of them. Because I was almost one of them this year.

What the heck, MSN. The story is about Target doing really poorly.

Good thing they got rid of DEI. Oh wait. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

I mean . . . I might actually be able to get on board with the SCA and the Penguins

No. No they are not different. Ew.

*headdesk*

*bumps John Ahn's book up to top of reading list * Looking forward to these!

This is awful. So sorry to hear, @leximcmenamin.com . This is a true loss.

Read this thread from Talia. Especially if you used to be evangelical. Stop with the black and white thinking and learn to see nuance

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

I agree with Dex to a point. Ableism IS a problem. Stupid is the wrong word. However, I do think the majority of my fellow citizens are WILLFULLY ignorant. The information is out there, can be simply explained, but they CHOOSE not to engage with it.

This. Exactly.

That's because they think the majority of poor people are white, and so the poor aren't "our own." White supremacy in another guise.

Billie is 100% right. I've been saying trans people were the canary in the coal mine for three bloody years, including on the hellsite.

Pittsburgh FTW!

So proud of my city!!!

New post on my Instagram - On Bonhoeffer and Christian Nationalism: www.instagram.com/p/DP80knsDjtA/

Our country is being run by Romper Room.

This looks absolutely fascinating! I read @christycobb.bsky.social 's excellent book on it and I bet this one is good too!

Love this!

I am currently reading Bonhoeffer's Black Jesus by Reggie Williams, and it is a lovely antidote to metaxas's Bohoeffer

This is awful. Gender care saves lives

Even without the official jobs data, “private-sector indicators out in recent days pointed to sluggish hiring ..” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Fascist governments and their performative displays. SMDH

So, um, in today's battle environment, a big steel battleship is pretty much just a missile magnet . . .

1) This is an awesome thread 2) If we work together we can win 3) I am so excited about hopefully going to Boston for my PhD!

This is why I've started referring to my own spirituality as neo-Celtic Christianity. I'm Protestant, and I like the egalitarianism, and the environmentalism, and I recognize that this was not how it originally was.

@balconyskeletons.bsky.social ERRRRINNNN!!!! I didn't know you were on Bsky!!!!

Preach it
