Welcome to the fold, Shiloh. May water always be to you of the first medicine and gift from the Creator, to quench your thirst, and cleanse your body, mind, and spirit — and the womb from which we are born anew, in Christ, our Redeemer. 🫶🏼 Alleluia!

Heritage Foundation has released an absolutely insane policy proposal to label all trans people as domestic terrorists. It uses completely made up instances of terrorism and made up statistics but facts don't matter to them. They want us all eradicated.

The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readie...

To celebrate Mtr. @sjchristopher.bsky.social’s ordination and her first Eucharist celebrated my Indigenous sisters and I made frybread for Indian tacos… we had so much homemade food, for a festive and beautiful occasion. 🥲 Thank you Lord for our new priest, her partner, and the St. Mary’s family. 🥰

Today was a very very good day :)))

New bio just dropped :)))

:))))))

I will admit, I would like to see a general norm develop in the Church against the use of generative AI to write *any* pastoral communication, including but not limited to sermons. I could be persuaded to the contrary, but right now my feeling is I'd like to see bishops prohibit it as plagiarism.

I know I’m biased, but if you’re going to turn to AI to generate a whole-ass sermon manuscript, just hang up your robes and clerical collar and be done done with it. ⚓️

Tomorrow is my first day at my first clergy job, and it feels a little like getting ready for the first day of school 😭 Any advice?

I can’t stop thinking how Brad Lander’s NYC Council office had a snow shoveling program that would match neighbors who needed it with others who could shovel for them, and how much mutual aid could be scaled if we someone in local government to help coordinate and a modest amount of funding.

my dear friend ding once again knocks it out of the park with this beautiful and stunning reflection on womanhood, transness, and everyone (yes, even you) being on hormones—asking, once and for all, "what if cis people are the weird ones after all?"

“If trans exclusion is lavender scare pivoted and trans inclusion queer assimilation gentrified, could you imagine if going on the offensive and turning cis people into a philosophical puzzle might just be what the gender metaphysician ordered?” So grateful for this chance to be playful yet serious:

remember that government-run grocery stores are the compromise. the principled left policy position is the forcible state seizure of the Park Slope Food Coop

Bishop Eaton once said of the creeds: "They are the fruit of centuries of the Holy Spirit's guidance and the Church's passionate debates. You're not going to churn out something better in an afternoon alone on your laptop." I think about that a lot.

This is an absolutely brilliant piece on turning our thinking about gender on its head and making cisness appear strange - philosophy at its best! Go read it!

I couldn't let that Confessore piece slide. It was such a disgusting hit piece on a vulnerable community in a moment of crisis. I dissected the article and why its framings are dishonest at best and outright lies of ommission at worst. www.thedissident.news/anatomy-of-a...

Seemingly lost in all of the NYT coverage is that what the Supreme Court did was effectively lower the evidentiary bar that state's have to meet to justify their bans. The lower courts that applied heightened scrutiny universally blocked the bans.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

The reasoning in Skrmetti is just repackaged “every race is punished equally, so nothing to see here” logic that Loving v. Virginia emphatically rejected.

Denying a trans person a sex change but offering them therapy instead is like denying a pregnant person an abortion but offering them therapy instead

I'm super excited to share that I've been called to be the next Priest-in-Charge of St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Phoenix, AZ! St. Mary's is a loving and inclusive Anglo-Catholic parish, and I can't wait to join them in July! Pics from my visit in March :)

If you'd listen to the Pope if he told you to kill, but not when he tells you to love, then what you have is not faith, but a desire for your darkest urges to be validated.

the dumbest, evilest shit to entertain the dumbest, evilest people

Every time I see my FFS surgeon, he’s surprised by how good I look and I’m like….my guy, you’re the reason I look like this

Please understand me when I say that you cannot talk yourself out of criminal charges. You can, however, talk yourself into them. "I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present" is the ONLY thing you should EVER say to a police officer, EVER.

Does anyone have any connections with the ACLU? I just got my new passport in the mail, and the State Department changed my gender marker back to "male" lol

ChatGPT, please explain to the AI task force why the application of LLMs in most church use cases is a Very Bad Idea.

Going to be honest: this past week and a half or so has not been good for my mental health and I really wish more of my friends would check in/invite me to stuff/help me take my mind off of all of this. It sucks a lot.

Welcome to the eight newest deacons in the Episcopal Church!
