I'm a paid subscriber because I learn from Mr. Rashid's clear, accessible writing and want to help make it available. "Islam Today" has no paywall, so check it out. 🕯

I'm pleased to be the guest on the #Faith&Feminism podcast with Meghan Tschanz this week, talking about my new book, Suicide and the Communion of Saints. TW: we discuss suicide and sexual assault.🕯 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

After the mass #femicide at #Écolepolytechnique in my hometown of #Montréal on #6December 1989, we feminists said: Nous n'avons pas peur. Nous ne devons pas nous taire. Nous sommes ici pour de bon. We are not afraid. We will not be silent. We are here to stay. Still true. Still f**king true.

So excited to unveil my next publication, coming next spring: the #Horizons #BibleStudy. Many thanks to Presbyterian Women for inviting me to write this! #FirstCorinthians was such a rich letter to study; I hope other Christians of many denominations find this work helpful.🕯

"Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who contrive mischief by statute? They band together against the life of the righteous and condemn the innocent to death." ~Psalm 94 www.nytimes.com/2025/12/05/h...

No one is garbage. ~Jesus

My fabulously stylish pharmacy cashier complimented my hair just now, so that's my day made.

I am so excited @roxanegay.bsky.social won a National Book Award for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community. No, I don't know Dr. Gay, 'tho I love her work. I just know community and mutual support like she fosters help people thrive, and literally save lives.

Heh.

Bound to be a great discussion!

Here's your periodic reminder that my book makes a great, relatively inexpensive gift for the praying Christian or Christian-prayer-curious person in your life. ⚓️ shop.forwardmovement.org/product/2623

Dammit. I pray Dr. Williams will rest in peace, and his research will help others struggling with #depression and the risk of #suicide. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/h...

That would make for a very cool business card.

My lovely young barista just now, complimenting my priest attire: "There's just something so METAL about the collar!" Why, thank you, LYB. ⚓️

Every effort to stop #SNAP payments keeps #Psalm 14:4 drumming through my head: "Have they no knowledge, all those evildoers who eat up my people like bread...?"

This research's finding? The secret to living longer, better, healthier in the USA is...money. The worship of money in this country is, pretty literally, a death cult. wapo.st/49HR9xp

I just today learned about @notthevoiduk.bsky.social , a safe space to talk about #suicide, ideation, etc. Similar in some ways, I think, to Suicide Anonymous. Both offer community, which is simply vital. I'm grateful for people who create these supports.

Speaking truth about #TransKids and #Suicide.

Still true. "The bread of the needy is the life of the poor; whoever deprives them of it is a murderer. To take away a neighbor’s living is to commit murder; to deprive an employee of wages is to shed blood." (Sirach 34:25-27) ⚓️

Another good word from @tressiemcphd.bsky.social . "If the Democratic future requires us to exchange our discomfort with casual Nazism to advance a political agenda, I am not interested." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/o...

Dammit. "'Know that there are people in your community that are here for you and care about you,' Smith said... addressing other trans students." Yes. www.them.us/story/lia-sm...

An important note from @drchanequa.bsky.social in a time (like every time) when people need real community.⚓️ open.substack.com/pub/drchaneq...

Well, I got one NYT crossword clue right away this morning! Very cool, @roxanegay.bsky.social .

Although today is officially #WorldMentalHealthDay, optimally, we would protect and defend mental health every day. I hope my book helps with that.

Rest well, Sister Jean. 🏀🕯⚓️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/670...

"So hold on. You're not alone. Now it's time to sing along." My friend @charleshughes2.bsky.social with a beautiful reflection on covers of #EverybodyHurts. It resonates with me as a #survivor of #suicide (among other things) and as just a human in this world. open.substack.com/pub/nofences...

More openness about #depression and #suicide is better. www.npr.org/2025/10/01/n...

I'm excited to see my local library has #SuicideAndTheCommunionOfSaints on order! Three copies. 🎉 Thanks to whoever made the suggestion. You, too, can make this request of your public library.

You are not alone. We are not alone.

“What we do is everything wrong to help a person...We disconnect them from community. And then we disconnect them from their freedom. And when people finally have nothing left, then they will use until they die.” RIP Louise Vincent, genius of #HarmReduction. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/h...

Yeah.

"...I choose to thrive in the midst of captivity. I choose joy and wellness and relationship because it is what will sustain us so that we can move a step closer to freedom." An excellent word on Jeremiah for all of us. 🕯⚓️
