If the Gospel doesn't bother you - doesn't disturb you and make you uncomfortable - then you're. not. listening. You're reading and preaching and teaching a fiction we've cultivated to comfort us. (6/14)

in retrospect, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords really might've been a better basis for a system of government.

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.  “So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times.  But that is not for them to decide.  All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

Me after seeing the Jason Kelce video.

[Mary Newberg Gale @mnewgale]

People tweeting about Jason Kelce ‘protecting Taylor’ are missing the point. Jason smashed that phone bc of the slur. If that frat boy had said ‘sell out’ or ‘punk’ he’d still have a phone.

Historians: He’s a fascist.
Political scientists: He’s a fascist.
His own aides: He’s a fascist.
The Washington Post: We don't take sides.

"The sin here is not that Kamala Harris had the good sense to reply, "No thank you, I'm previously engaged."
The real scandal is that the good Catholic cardinal of the great city of New York would not have the courage to say, this year, that the current Republican candidate is a walking example of so much the Catholic Church finds repugnant in today's politics that he would suspend the normal invitations."

You misunderstand the purpose of the long shower. I'm not doing anything in there. I am literally staring into nothingness and using the sensory input of falling water to temporarily wash away some of the horror of corporeal human life.

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

Just read a social media post saying that “the only coverage” of Asheville, NC is “on social media.” Here is a sample of NPR’s coverage, which has continued for days and that you can share on social media.

“I was in Nicaragua with the Sandinistas. I’ve argued for Leonard Peltier, Mumia Abu-Jamal, the United Farm Workers. I’ve been a radical for a long time. I guess it’s too bad. I’d be more marketable as a right-wing redneck. But I got into this to tell the truth as I saw it”—Kris Kristopherson. Rest in peace singer, songwriter, veteran, working class hero.

BOONE FRIENDS:
Hearing that @appstate has opened the central dining hall on campus.

They have power, internet, and are serving food. You do not need to be a student, if you need help.

[Sister Helen Prejean @helenprejean]

The execution of Marcellus Williams is a horrible injustice. This didn’t have to happen. Just a couple weeks ago, prosecutors—with the support of the victim’s family—had reached a plea agreement with Marcellus that took death off the table.

[Ernest Owens @MrErnestOwens]

A different Supreme Court could have saved Marcellus Williams.

All 3 Democratic judges dissented.

All 6 majority Republicans approved his execution.

Presidents appoint them.

Please stop acting like this election doesn't matter.

Please stop acting like voting doesn't matter.
