Katherine Ann

Retired clergy turned protestor, math teacher, writer, wife and mother. Two years ago I left the church in search of the sacred and the journey is rich.

Short on the privilege cards these days, I’m neither naive nor expectant. I know what it is to love Jesus. I know the powerful drug that believing can be. And I know that resisting this SCOTUS pick is the difference between life and death. https://t.co/zmhwBEkQd9

Massacres and Whiteness: hidden in plain sight https://t.co/ZqpkEUYfbf

Today the story that I tell begins ... with a life immersed in the church and ends with active resistance to all things religious. This is my story. I get to tell it. And in so doing, I get to find my own healing. https://t.co/9DM1ycxmWw

In a time where opinions overwhelm, maybe we who trade in them might pause to lift those who don't. These are the voices we desperately need. Now. https://t.co/cDwdJ1lyiy

The winds are shifting. We can cling to what was, crashing against the stones as we go, or we can loose our grip and ride the wave. Really, the choice is ours. https://t.co/6JLbLFcvf3

Whiteness would give us a pass, that in exchange for the lie we will be saved. But this virus gives no passes. If we insist on warehousing children, adults caring for them will die. Let’s at least dare to tell the truth. https://t.co/st3VObfBCr

Whiteness holds power with fear. In all likelihood, they actually did "fear for the lives" in the most dangerous and criminal kind of way. It's the vilest kind of racism. https://t.co/cbrwqlYUTK

Forever I will remember both the terror in the child's eyes, the tenderness of his hand in mine, and the cold hate on the white man's face. His callous disregard for the life of the child said all that I need to know about his god. https://t.co/4a79GgO9Vk

Bottom line, passive racism is still racism. And passivity is no match for this cancer. Resistance must be embraced with as much tenacity as the racists clinging to their ugliness. https://t.co/j5faJeix7d

I understand that it is the people's reaction to injustice; it mimics the divine's and fuels the moral arc that will bring the long-awaited day of justice. But what if there is no moral arc and no long-awaited day in the offing? https://t.co/ETo6dcjTII

We can let go of the stories that tie us to the master's anvil and we too can fly. And in the spring of 2020, we humans desperately need to let go of the myths that are destroying us and lift our imaginations in light. It's now or never folks. https://t.co/RDzoZUjcZV

For Ahmaud...
The measure of our commitment to Ahmaud will be measured less by hashtags and more by guillotines. https://t.co/KzRWcVED9y
