SO to the white man in Panera who realized I was writing a sermon and told me that women can’t preach and I'm perverting scripture.

Our service is at 11:00 AM tomorrow, and we're talking about Hannah---a woman who calls out injustice at the hands of evil men in power.

(I don’t support J.K. Rowling, but sometimes my mental health needs take priority. Engaging with the Wizarding World can be a helpful and safe outlet for me.

I also donated double the cost of the game to local trans support groups in the city to help counteract my purchase.)

The most lesbian thing I’ve said in a long time: in the #QuidditchChampions game, petite ol’, religious pacifist me is an unreasonably good beater—the one whose job it is to hit other players with the iron ball and tackle them for *no reason*

I am a rugby lesbian of Quidditch.

This woman referred to aging as, “living in the evening of my life.” And I really thought that was a beautiful way of putting it.

Some Christians are more offended by the idea of everyone going to heaven than everyone going to hell.

TN State Rep @brotherjones_ on Neo-Nazi march in Nashville: “Tennessee is the tip of the spear. We have to sound the alarm because there are folks trying to bring us back to darker days in our history, we must resist that… particularly a new South that is multiracial."

Peace to you who struggle
to love your body or tame your body

Peace to the body

Peace to you who’ve had faith
in willpower so long
& failed & succeeded & failed
& still believe the fairy tale
that we can defeat our body’s
will to survive
with only our mind

Peace to the mind

"The Bible is very clear" is how they justified slavery, too.

[Sharon Hodde Miller @SHoddeMiller]

Abraham debated.
Moses protested.
Jeremiah worried.
And Elijah basically whined.

But Jonah? Jonah ran.

It's a reminder that arguing with God is not an obstacle to intimacy with God,
but a primary channel into it.

everyone i know in their late 20s is having an existential crisis because we skipped our mid 20s in the pandemic. relationships fast-tracked, careers faltered, we lost those core identity-building years and now we feel like 23-year-old brains in bodies approaching 30

This week's sermon prep is a lot less reading and a lot more watching the Mr. Rogers movie.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

Break up with white Jesus

Yesterday in passing a congregant told me that her mother was good friends with Thomas Edison and his wife. So now it lives rent free in my head.

I was not emotionally prepared for season 7 of Queer Eye

[Netflix Canada @Netflix_CA]

The Fab 5 are back and they're going places they’ve never been before. @QueerEye Season 7 is NOW STREAMING!

@emilyjoypoetry For a brief moment I was on the corner of TikTok where people carry around realistic baby dolls as if they are their children. I quickly got out of it, but I can’t lie—part of me was utterly fascinated. Surely this is based in attachment theory somehow, yes?

Someone on Reddit asked, “if you’re injured as a result of a mass shooting, are you responsible for that medical bill?” And I find that a uniquely American question.

[Allison Bright @BrightAllison]

Cackling to myself because in making my budget using the template my brother sent me, where he put “entertainment” I replaced it with “therapy” and it was almost the exact same about penny for penny.
