The ATG streaming people listened to me and gave us some gear shots 🤣

A must read for writers. I'm seeing same thing Jason is seeing, in form of scammers' creation of online "readers' communities" populated with bots. AI adoption by foreign scammers has been expanding since 2023 but this year has really been a watershed. They're becoming impossible to keep up with.

The MVP of All Things Go is chorus/univibe with sax being a close second.

Me @ the stream cams: No show their pedal boards plz I beg. #AllThingsGo

It took me until the frontwoman literally speaking Spanish and saying she’s from Puerto Rico to finally understand that The Marías=Las Marías. #AllThingsGo

Hello, I’m in love with The Beaches. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Streaming All Things Go and I love the close shots of the gear, honestly 🤣

It’s National Punctuation Day @unitedchurch.bsky.social Our power is at its peak. We must strike now against the periods. #UCCSky

DO YOU REMEMBER 🎺

Important shape note question: What color is the Sacred Harp 2025 cover? Like I’m gonna find out in a few weeks when my copy comes in BUT STILL #fasola

Btw here’s that epic moment the churches all came together and began ringing their bells as loud as possible for the protesters in DC. More profound than car horns. These are not the average recorded chimes we usually hear. They laid on them heavy for the people.

How Turnstile conquered this summer — and the world

I hope all the authors in that Anthropic lawsuit bleed them dry with their settlement claims.

y'all know what to do

ICYMI: Hayley Williams tags some "Son of a Widow" lyrics to the end of her acoustic version of "Kill Me (In The Garden)" youtu.be/E2inBSEwcFc?...

Big day for mewithoutYou and Paramore fans (2:03) youtu.be/E2inBSEwcFc

I’m here to announce that I didn’t get engaged.

Cool #UCCSky people read the latest issue of the Colectivo newsletter and sign up for the email list tbh tbh tbh tbh tbh. www.canva.com/design/DAGuy...

Lucy Dacus singing with Aaron Weiss and Dominic Angelella in the background. What an instantly iconic photo. ♥️

Do not recite the old magic to me. I was there when it was written. #UCCSky

We must increase bands. Paramost

Slightly diminish a band: Twice

I saw Lucy Dacus in Philly a couple weeks ago, but also saw some ✨Holy Spirit shenanigans✨ #lucydacus #unitedchurchofchrist #UCCSky

One man, one Lord, one faith, one sandwich

I wouldn’t say that FIAF is my favorite Lucy Dacus album or that the songs hit me in a particularly deep or cathartic way, but I’m going to always associate “Best Guess” w/ the liturgy my pastor friend wrote for Lucy to read at the weddings & “Bullseye” w/ Aaron Weiss’ & Frances Quinlan’s cameos

The loss of CPB funding is devastating—but public media isn’t gone, and we’re not powerless. Learn what’s really at stake, what survives, and how you can show up for local journalism and media justice. New on our blog 👇

The Subway is everything I loved about the 80s and 90s ballads that played on the radio station I grew up listening to. It’s devastatingly good and I hope it signals a new album.

First impressions of Hayley Williams’ new album: Hard and True Believer are my favorite tracks up front. True Believer might provoke me to write an essay, esp. with that visualizer iconography. The rest of it may hit later. I like the slow chill beats for late night. And the distorted screamies.

If the Saban Sailor Moon series had been what we’d gotten instead of a dub of the 90s series, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, She-Ra & the Princesses of Power, Stephen Universe, and Owl House wouldn’t exist.

Outlined my essay about the Lucy Dacus Philly show last night, but while y’all are waiting for that, you might like my boygenius Halloween costume essay from a couple years ago. open.substack.com/pub/taylorra...

Saw Lucy Dacus + Hop Along the other night in Philly. Turned out a new friend I made at #UCCSynod was also there & helped write the liturgy that Lucy read during the wedding ceremony part, so anyway I have feelings abt the queer theology of it all which means I’m gonna yap about it in an essay

People sometimes confuse United Church of Christ with Church of Christ. They are VERY different. #UCCSky

Iron Man was one of the first power chord riffs my guitar teacher taught me. Dang.

A mewithoutYou AND a Thrice drop in the same week. Nature is healing. 🎧

This whole thread, really.

🖤 Following heartfelt discussion and careful consideration, General Synod took a clear stand in naming the ongoing genocide of Palestinians “a humanitarian crisis that calls for immediate action.” 📰 News Story: generalsynod.org/news-listing... #UCCSynod

I’m at the airport gate sitting next to a tiny dog named Fergalicious and I’m wondering if she’s a personal friend of our resting raccoon crypids. #UCCSynod @generalsynic.bsky.social

The Bible has been weaponized against women, Black people, and now LGBTQ+ folks. But the Spirit has always moved beyond those boundaries. You’re allowed to rethink what you were taught. That’s not rebellion—it’s faithfulness.

Hello to all my new followers from #UCCSynod I generally keep my feed here to talking about my writing and other creative work, so here’s a little baby thread.

Y’all will have to wait three years for me to either be this funny or this annoying again #UCCSynod

When you do shrooms, we will be there. In the feedback of every screeching microphone, we will be there. We are never far from any one of you. So please keep dropping snacks. We’ll see you in Cleveland in 2028. Yours, truly, Scooter, Bandit, and Pickles

But we are not leaving you—not really. When you drop a local delicacy on the floor, we will be there. When you sit through a painfully long committee meeting that you’re only somewhat sure will do anything at all, we will be there. When you dare to say Pennsylvania, we will be there.

And with that, we make our way back up in to the air ducts of the Kansas City Convention Center, snuggled up with our prayer shawls and leftover huckleberry taffy and the flavored dental dams that you freaks didn’t use, to sleep the sleep of the just. #uccsynod

What happens after delegates and visitors have found their way home? 🎶 The work of Christmas has beguuunnn!!! 🎶 #uccsynod #gs35

Live laugh love, Rushan #UCCSynod

LFG #uccsynod

Cleveland was my first Synod, so if I end up at next Synod, that would be a cute full circle moment tbh. #UCCSynod #allcirclespresuppose

I’m obsessed with the 2000s PowerPoint animation energy from that textbox. #UCCSynod
