@DiscussingFilm Just saw it. Fantastic. Well worth it.

Our dear friend @SaveWildBees died on Sunday. She was a wonderful human being, a brilliant researcher, passionate about grassroots justice work.

Among many of the gifts she and Marc gave us, was introducing us to Puerto Rico (the board game) and good espresso.

She was 43.

There was a time, years ago, when I thought Elon Musk was super cool. Like a real life Tony Stark.

Lex Luthor seems a more appropriate comparison now.

The whole thread is cool.

@KatelynBeaty I love you Katelyn but if you hadn't reshared this I would have been content in almost forgetting he existed.

The loss of hope does not always look like despair. Sometimes it looks like control.

We know we have stopped hoping in God when we take matters into our own hands.

"Presence not withheld" is what God's love feels like.

"Presence not withheld" is also what we can offer ourselves, and especially to our pain.

There is endless grace & care for the ways we numb out / dissociate in order to survive. But healing and growth is about presence.

"Doubt is not an act of unbelief, in fact and ironically, doubt may be a supreme act of faith and devotion. If this is too much to claim, at least doubt and skepticism are stances that Scripture understands and for which the Bible has the utmost sympathy."

"God said, 'Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth.'" (Genesis 1:26) – God made us to care for the earth, bearing witness to his own care for the world.

@StephTaitWrites Oh friend, I'm so sorry.

[Jonathan Puddle ~ OPTIMIST PRIME @jonathanpuddle]

@tracesoffaith A bit.

My therapist said to me tonight, "I'd like you to thank your parts for being triggered."

Why I believe in universal reconciliation and what it means for our nervous system for God to come to us self-emptied.

@PastorTrey05 Well, that'd be the moment he announced he was running for office, I guess. We were sitting at a gate lounge in La Guardia airport on our way home to Toronto, so it was mostly Canadians, all laughing together at the ridiculousness of your nation. I'm so sorry.

[Jonathan Puddle ~ OPTIMIST PRIME @jonathanpuddle]

@TheAmberPicota Oh wow, Amber this is huge. I'm so sorry that you've suffered in silence. Grace upon grace to you as you step forward.

A reminder: The US makes up a tiny percentage of the population of the world. Most humans are not thinking about this election. It's OK to be about other business.

And to my US fam: grace upon grace to you. Don't feed the principalities. Trust love and walk humbly.
