I'm 21 years old and an aspiring Episcopal priest. I'm starting a blog for mainline church leaders. What "GenZ/Millennial" questions do you want answered? What do you want to hear about? @CarolHoward @dianabutlerbass @kmoliver

@exist_bread @marieeldrid @TheTelegraphUK @JudithWoods @dutchlauren Thanks for the link. I'm doing a school project on the societal neglect and abuse of folks with ME/CFS, and this seems like a good source to cite.

@exist_bread @marieeldrid @TheTelegraphUK @JudithWoods @dutchlauren Hey there, I tried to find the article on https://t.co/g5Dfh9m9bs but couldn't. How did you access it?

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@SarahLizzyLou This happens to me! I definitely get wired. Sure sign that I've failed at pacing lol

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@joshuamcclure @AprilDalaman @MaxwellBiosci Can we have an update? Do you still need trial subjects?

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

ME/CFS and LC folks, I'm doing a school project highlighting our experiences, especially related to abandonment/neglect/abuse by the healthcare and political systems. DM me if interested in doing a brief interview (super short to save energy for both of us!)

@aglc2022 Yes! I'm not queer but I'm young and an ally. That would be wonderful.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@useless_priest Yes, but start super low and increase dosages extremely slowly. I found that even 2 mg contributed to significant cognitive decline and had to scale back to 1.

@JCeoltaSmith Whenever I make a commitment, I immediately put it on Reminders or Calendar. I carry my phone with me absolutely everywhere, if I remember I need to do something, I write it down immediately. I leave un-noted emails or texts on unread.

@BethMooreLPM Try the Ina Garten version for chocolate bourbon pecan pie. One of the best things I've ever eaten!

@aglc2022 Please pray that I'm healthy enough to go through my ordination service on Friday!

@JoannaNoBanana Set a timer for an amount of time that is way under the amount you can do before you PEM. For me, 5 mins for phys chores, 15 for mental/computer. Then veg out lying down for double that amount of time. Rinse, repeat for 1-2 hrs before a longer break.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@Mthr_McDoog A little unorthodox but I like it!

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

Clergy friends--what are the ordination gifts you loved (or didn't get but wish you had!)

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@jrbrownfield As a soon-to-be priest, I would genuinely prefer to close my church or leave the building rather than charge for Eucharistic services.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@livewithmecfs I'm so sorry. That is so painful.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@Alina_MSN_RN Absolutely. It was one of my favorite things about my body. I will say that Vegamour absolutely saved my hair--I was pretty close to having to cut it otherwise.

@himmatb15 Having to be our own GPs is the craziest part of this.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@FaithOxenbridge I'm so sorry. When I was that severe, I just really tried to minimize sensory input. Ultimately, though, it was an Ayurvedic practitioner that pulled me into moderate.

[Erin Wiens St. John @erinwsj]

@willmoorewill For me, it's two things: 1. an example of how far love can and must go in the face of oppression. 2. Jesus taking on our physical, spiritual, and emotional human experiences of brokenness and experiencing them with us, before taking them to the tomb and transforming them.
