This feels like as good a time as any to finally officially tell Twitter that I graduated with my Master’s this past spring with a thesis titled Rhetoric of Resistance: How Christian Women are Using Digital Spaces to Reclaim their Voices.

We turn online to pour out our grief, discuss ideas that are normally taboo, find a shared community, and then begin the work of organizing our churches and communities toward action. Twitter is only the beginning. It is not the end.

I have been shaped by this community of women academically, professionally, personally & spiritually through their humor, love, and wisdom. As I think about what’s next and what I’ll do if it all goes away, I keep coming back to how I ended my capstone presentation:

Two survivors in Anaheim, @juleswoodson11 and @ThigpenTiffany, hugged and cried as the vote passed.

Jules told me this is the moment she was waiting for and the reason she came, to see those yellow ballots: “I want to feel some sense of acknowledgement, some sense of action.”

It's important to know that there's space in our faith for grief and doubt; Blue Christmas services offer that space. https://t.co/PJS33CYZZa

An all-around banner year for institutions changing their names when we asked them to change their policies and actions.

In 1996 Kerri was raised in an abusive system with no choice. A system that ran over the bodies and souls of little girls.

Today, an athlete and her coach chose her safety first.

This is the change we've worked so hard for. If you can't see it, you're part of the problem.

NOW: 15K Southern Baptists will debate/vote on a third-party investigation into whether top leaders sought to suppress abuse survivors/stifle reforms/intimidate leaders like Russ Moore. #SBC2021 #SBC21 #SBCtoo

It's prolly more important than you think.

Here's why:

“However long it takes for an unmasked church to be safe for even our most vulnerable members, that’s how long we should be willing to mask for them.”

I’m thankful for people like Stephanie who continue to talk about the needs of vulnerable people when so many have moved on.

The Confederate Flag has breached the Capital, something it failed to do even in the Civil War. This isn't a protest, this is a coup, an attack on the state, and an attack on the very heart of democracy. I have never seen anything so un-American.

It has also made it clear to me just how many people don't realize that many people spend this holiday mostly alone every year. We are being asked to do what those of us can't afford to travel to see family do every year.

[Haley Laird Warren @Haley_Paley]

As someone who has spend 3 of the last 4 Thanksgivings away from my family for various reasons, it is very strange to me that this is the hill so many are willing to die on.

We were not being mindless partisans when we said black lives matter. We were not being partisan when we condemned xenophobia. We were not being partisan when we fought to protect our planet. And similarly, it is not partisan when we breathe a sigh of relief today.

Laughing at myself for saying on Tuesday night, "I'm just going to stay up until they call NC" when apparently NC had already planned to take a vacation this week.

[Alia Joy @AliaJoyH]

“God is on the throne" sovereignty language is being perverted to the point of hubris. Faith as an excuse to wash our hands of our duty to others because God's in control is nihilistic at best. God’s sovereignty doesn't negate our culpability in our failure to love our neighbor.
