HANDS DOWN, THIS IS THE BEST DAY I CAN EVER REMEMBERRRRR, I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBERRRR

every real writer who thinks hard about what they want to say and then sits down and writes it feels like a fraud, and the people who have the computer write the book for them feel like accomplished authors

Counterpoint: naw.

Never feel sorry for being vulnerable enough with someone to show emotion. If they teased or took advantage of that and pretended to be a safe space, that says a HELL of a lot about THEM. NOT YOU.

A word to my progressive Christian friends (especially pastors): This hasn't happened yet but it's 100% where they want to go. So I am begging you to decide now what you will do if supporting trans people becomes legally grey. Think through these questions... 1/ open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

This is a weird way to end cancel culture!

Use of the word "evil" in official congressional e-newsletters, over time, by party

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Good thread here

man they really didn't give a shit about that guy. as soon as it was clear they couldn't use his death to launch a purge they started to treat it like a nothingburger

Alexander Campbell was born in Northern Ireland 237 years ago today. He & his father had a passion for Christian simplicity they called “Restorationism,” but was meant to be a form of “mere Christianity” which they borrowed from Richard Baxter, who called for it long before C.S. Lewis… 1/2

There’s a million things happening RIGHT NOW… and I’ve been digging deep into this video and new album. I think it’s a good morning to pop in the headphones and go play disc golf. youtu.be/5Ozjel72yjQ?...

An impulsive liar very obviously lied again and we’re going full CSI on his signature like he hasn’t been impulsively lying for literally decades.

Boom.

Framing of this Q notwithstanding, note that Trump focuses on "Democrats" here. But among Abrego's supporters in Baltimore today were a slate of ordained clergy, who spoke at length in his defense (it was most of the rally program). Genuinely curious how Trump would respond if asked about them.

This is Tuffy. He is the only example of taking up the whole sidewalk that is not only justifiable, but encouraged. 14/10 (IG: mypittuffy)

Today’s sermon was like a musician’s setlist. I’ve played this set 12 times now… very strange and I’ll never get used to it. I played a new song before the closer. It was a familiar action, but something about it felt off to me, to my sensibilities…

A deranged convicted felon who wants to distract from his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is lying about Washington, DC, which tallied a 30-year low in violent crime last year. It’s important to keep speaking the truth and not permit this pathological liar to control the narrative.

Praying with and for these kids at camp tonight. Our night of silence is quite rainy, but there’s something humbling and beyond peaceful to a rain storm. Prayers for these youth who are leaning into another way, a way of grace, peace, inclusion, and hope.

Yes please

Im with the priest this time. I will never get the whole "I hate my wife" jokes. Don't marry someone you don't like then

You know… just @thordowens.bsky.social laying out a vision for this church for our future. Like she does. What a powerful ending to our #ga2025beyond #ccdoc

What if a tomato and a green apple had a baby and the stork delivered it in a wee tiny paper pouch

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.

Will yaupon replace coffee and tea in the U.S.?

Cannot be a better fit of call than that of Rev. Dr. Delesslyn Kennebrew! Thank you for all you do to serve the people of the National Convocation and the whole church!!! #ga2025beyond #ccdoc

Three hyper-online Disciples walk into General Assembly… no joke! @knapsack77.bsky.social @normdeplume.bsky.social #campbellcon #ga2025Beyond

I genuinely love that we as the #ccdoc always seem to ask my friend Andra Moran to sing songs that she wrote for us, that we sing with her as a ritual reminder of who we can be. What a gift she brings, and thank you for sharing this gift with us! #ga2025beyond

We’re called to CARE, but let God CARRY the burden. Bernice King speaking at tonight’s General Assembly worship. #ga2025beyond

At #ga2025beyond and getting a word from @berniceaking and I can’t live tweet it I just can say… #campbellcon #ccdoc

Thank you @elizabethlgr.bsky.social @jeandaniel.bsky.social @rklittlejohn.bsky.social and all for being so clear. It is a threat, an invalidation, and we stand against the declaration of war. We stand with Canada and our Canadian Disciples #ccdoc #ga2025beyond

Proud of my colleagues from New Church Ministry, St Andrew CC, Ind Blvd CC, & Greater KC Region for their resolution, their witness, and the voice of our church to speak against Project 2025. May we protect our most vulnerable & work against the destruction of our democracy. #ga2025beyond #ccdoc

Here at #ccdoc Head-Quarters, we have many Memories… but only Joy, Anger and Anxiety? If we learned anything from Inside Out, we need Disgust, Sadness, and Fear to all work in unison and make Riley’s life balanced. #campbellcon #ga2025beyond @revkassiesm.bsky.social
