Just a Jesus loving, cult classic movie-loving, VHS-collecting, nelipot hooligan weirdo who hates wearing shoes!

I love the Showa droopy-beak Rodan, what a charming looking fella

@DarthxErik Might leave the ol’ twitter myself!

If you see this you’re obliged to reply with your fave Star Wars character!

We don’t have the Ted Commandments displayed at our church, but we do have the Beatitudes & Micah 6:8.

Seems like a much better choice.

I'm logging off for a few days but for all media outlets that want me know to speak:

The shooter being trans does not change the horror of what they did no matter their reasoning. It is unfair and inappropriate to ask trans people to speak on this person

[Elijah @Personhoodlives]

No one should have to ask the question “would they start caring if I died?” but I feel like every queer Christian I know has had that question roil around their minds from the corners of their soul into the crushing tidal weight of their waking thoughts

[Phil Vischer @philvischer]

Well, I think that’s the last time @TGC has ChatGPT write an article about biblical sexuality.

I just saw someone angrily (i.e. homophobically) refer to LGBTQ+ people as the “alphabet community,” and I kinda dig it. I mean… we already stole the rainbow, so why not the alphabet too? It’s a whole vibe.

[alex orandi 🌹 @WeilToGo]

Listen anglicans, we *need* to steal the whole “having the church open during the day” thing from the Catholics. The ability to go into a church and pray by yourself is so valuable

[Lyra, Esq., is NOT DAREDEVIL @PinkRangerLB]

If you never liked Rick + Morty, cool. I thought it was great. I’m saying this because I’ve seen some reversals from y’all and I think it’s really important we admit abusers don’t only make bad art. You can’t predict whether someone is an abuser by whether you like their work./1

Monster Squad (1987)! Michael Sembello’s “Rock Until You Drop” is a banger!

[Carnival of Horror @HorrorCarnival]

Which one of these six films do you like best?

[Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog]

Walked in and found my seven year old non-binary child Nebula sobbing. They looked at me and said, "Two years have passed since January 6th. Will this country ever be the same? Have the lessons we learned that fateful day already been forgotten?" Then we held each other and cried

[Randy Knie @RandyKnie]

What is Christianity all about?

Acting justly, loving mercy, walking humbly with God.

That’s it.

No requirement of believing in things like a literal creation story or biblical inerrancy or that queer people are going to hell.

Act justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God.

[alex orandi 🌹 @WeilToGo]

I have very little respect for non-Christian queer people who, when they see queer Christians being harassed and dogpiled by other Christians for being queer, decide to join in the dogpile by hating on their Christianity

[Benthamann @Benthamann1]

Luckily I don't have people in my life who pull that shit!

[Bridget Eileen Rivera @TravelingNun]

More than once I’ve talked about the barriers I face as a queer person trying to exist in the church, only to hear, “You shouldn’t be a Christian then”—by people who pride themselves in their progressive values!

How progressive is it to tell someone they shouldn’t exist?

[Laura Robinson @LauraRbnsn]

It’s so, so weird seeing how many men respond to women tweeting about wanting respect, autonomy, kindness, and agency with variations of “what man would want that kind of marriage?!”
Brothers: the good and, dare I say, the normal men want it.

[Benthamann @Benthamann1]

I'm sad. 😔 Your onscreen personality as a neighbor on Sesame Street with Mr. Hooper (Will Lee), Gordon (Roscoe Orman) and Luis (Emilio Delgado) exuded a kind, welcoming, gentle masculinity like that of Fred Rogers I wish to model! We’ll miss you Bob!

[Sesame Workshop @SesameWorkshop]

Sesame Workshop mourns the passing of Bob McGrath, a beloved member of the Sesame Street family for over 50 years.
