Remember, accountability is what happens after the trauma, justice is the idea that the trauma shouldn’t exist in the first place.

The police have already killed over 300 people in 2021. One verdict does not bring them back.

The demand for justice continues.

[It's A G Thing @WilGafney]

I am increasingly aware that the people outnumber the police and that the people cannot be policed except by consent.

[Megan Castellan @revlucymeg]

Look, church. This choice is pretty clear. We’re either with the children of God getting tear gassed, shot, and arrested for justice, or we’re with the guy wandering around wanting a photo op in front of a building.

Waiting to board my final flight home, and nearly all of #GC79 feels like a weird fever dream. Which would explain the pigeons, at least.

@_thleen This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen today, and today included a picture of an Israeli ad for ‘happy nuts’

I have been so proud and grateful to work with these incredible women. I believe our work is making and will make a difference. #gc79 #metoo #churchtoo #loveisbrave https://t.co/Oslmm4FaRU

.@RevLaurieinLex leads the House of Deputies Special Committee on Sexual Harassment and Exploitation in thanking @gaycjen for forming the #MeToo committee and presenst her with an image of the Mother of God and makes a donation to the Hutto bond fund in her honor. #GC79

Deputy Heard denounces a secular culture of Tweets. Look, sometimes I don’t like Twitter either, but Twitter has yet to spend 20+ min on a pointless parlimentary exercise. #GC79

[episcobaby @episcobaby]

I was told that there would be a @wsvarghese bedtime story hour. It’s my bed time. I’m waiting... #gc79 #BabiesOfGeneralConvention #YourEyesAreClosingYourEyesAreClosed #TeamWorkMakesTheDreamWork

#GCAfterDark: The parliamentarian attempts to clarify to the House the procedure by which the third deputy has just correctly corrected the amendment offered by the second deputy to the canonical amendment proposed by the original deputy. #nopartylikeaparliamentaryparty #gc79

@lizzie_anderson And so we had some speakers, and many more willing if we had needed them.

[Beth Scriven @BethScriven]

@lizzie_anderson I’m thankful for the number of men who said to us “Do you want me to speak? I’d like to support, but I want to make sure there’s room for the women who want to speak first.”

[Beth Scriven @BethScriven]

It’s a silly little thing, but I really love the moment each morning when the Secretary of Convention reports that we have all dioceses represented on the floor in each order. It means we’ve gotten one thing right that day. #gc79

[Megan Castellan @revlucymeg]

R&R decided earlier that, were we on a plane that was crashing, we would request that @wsvarghese inform us of this fact. “The wings are flying off. The wings are gone. The plane is crashing; the plane is crashed.” #gc79

[Megan Castellan @revlucymeg]

I have a hard time being snarky about Episcopal Relief and Development, tbh. #GC79

[Beth Scriven @BethScriven]

@JerusalemGreer @Episcoforma Did that before tweeting for it. If you’re interested, it sounds like they do have several *other* water bottles there! #acciowaterbottle

[Beth Scriven @BethScriven]

Hey #gc79! If anyone sees a smallish gray water bottle that says Washington University in St. Louis on one side and has a brave sticker on the other, please drop it on the MO deputation table. #ifmyheadwerentattached

[EpiscopalNorthTX @episcopalntx]

God of Grace, help all #gc79 deputies learn how to use the technology at their fingertips, that we may proceed in productive action. Amen
