The most anti-legal immigrant administration ever just made it illegal for international students to transfer schools or change majors or shift any "educational objective" in their 1st year and for graduate students **at any point** ever, at all. There is no legal basis for this

Special for you all: a personal essay from my blog in 2014 on picking through shame after coming out and the Asperges Me. I still think it's one of the better things I've written. samuelernest.com/2014/05/23/a...

The most important part of my op-ed response to Matthew Vines is the bibliography at the end! If you know people interested in learning more about good approaches to LGBTQ theology and also learning our history, send it along: justiceunbound.org/vines-sees-b...

Invest in frail, queer, human flesh touched by God. Invest in words shattered by love. Support the kind of gay institution that preserves our history and makes life more livable and beautiful for LGBTQ people. Become a monthly donor to Homodoxy. fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/homodoxy/mon...

New Haven and area girlies! Save the date for the Homodoxy Seminar, starting August 4. It’ll be a mixture of literature, theology, theory, scriptures, engaging purity and impurity in a few religious and irreligious contexts.

One editor who rejected this piece said it was too "deeply personal to the point where readers will find it terrifying." But it found the perfect home! THANK YOU to @megpillow.bsky.social for the edits and @roxanegay.bsky.social for embracing the terror. audacity.substack.com/p/cutting-bo...

So proud of my brilliant friend @laceyj.bsky.social for this beautiful, original, and startling essay on cutting which is out today in @roxanegay.bsky.social's Emerging Writer Series at The Audacity. What a gift. audacity.substack.com/p/cutting-bo...

The description of a "swift ascent to a papier-mâché position of authority" is so real & makes me think of other voices in the Christian media/publishing sphere. justiceunbound.org/vines-sees-b...

HE WROTE A NYT OP-ED?! LMAO

I hope you find things in it to agree with, disagree with, and run with wildly. Pass it along! Bring it to your book club! And of course, buy Coarse Work! <3, Mr. Homodoxy, PhD homodoxy.com/coarse-work/

The Invitation is critical of queer theology as a practice in one popular way, and it advocates for doing more queer theology in the way I thought was better. But that doesn’t really matter unless it accomplishes its job of inviting you to think.

It’s a little dated and highly influenced by my own experience. Still, it’s a decent and energetic invitation to queer theology. Before Coarse Work became a project, I intended it to be free. So, I'm sharing it again in light of the recent discourse around Matthew Vines's (dull) critiques/

In 2020, I started writing a manifesto for queer theology as I saw it. “Queer/Christian Collapse” became the germ of Homodoxy and the first chapter in Coarse Work. It’s free now! homodoxy.com/queer-christ...

We will not be forgiven.
