This is shameful. Shame on the Home Office. Shame on you for splitting families up. (And yes, this is fucking personal to me.)

You are erasing Christians like me: Episcopalian, bi, genderqueer, consciously committed to the Church after years of trying other paths, anti-fascist, anti-white supremacy

I love him and need him in my life. 😭 💔

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

Not surprisingly, this is pretty good. If anything, I think that those of us who are publicly Christians should be able to answer these same questions succinctly & clearly!

OMG HOZIER. Yes!!! 😍🥰😘💋

In case you ever wondered Why I’m Like This.

Alright, a week off, then I have a summer of French, Spanish, and Jèrriais.

Thou shalt not arrest elected public officials for trying to speak for their constituents.

Is the floor so low we’re only half-expecting an apology from a Senator who mocked the assasination of politicians he didn’t like? Or is there just no floor at all anymore? Mike Lee should resign. Today.

The thing about America is that we've all become fairly numb to masked men with guns doing vigilante shit and so people are getting braver at standing up to them. They primed us for living under violence and it's being met in the eye.

1 When I was in trouble, I called to the LORD; * I called to the LORD, and he answered me. 2 Deliver me, O LORD, from lying lips * and from the deceitful tongue.

Alas, we are still reading of Trump in the imperfect and the present continuous/progressive tenses, not the preterite.

This conversation really did happen about what happened in a church coffee hour, and yes, this is how I speak the Northern Californian dialect.

(It is a rough draft.)

Part of this is true, and part of it is based on true events. From Chapter Two of Naughty Episcopalians, by Josh Dunlo.

I hate thinking of church as a warzone or battlefield where race, ethnicity, language, sexuality, politics, piety, churchpersonship clash with each other, but it's what I face every time I go to the Eucharist in TEC, despite my love for the Anglican liturgy. But I have no other home. TEC is my home.

The first thought that came to me when the results came out was, "How can this be, since I know not a man?" from the Gospel of St. Luke and the Angelus prayer, and then I fully realised what I had happened, broke down in tears, and prayed hard on my knees for my Low Church Evangelical persecutors.

Refusing to entertain that intinction article - I used not to intinct for reasons of faith, the common chalice functioning as a pax board. I thought I was at peace and charity with everyone in my parish until one day, an altar server didn't wipe the rim or turn it to oxygenate it.

Sometimes under stress, I itch for an old habit I haven't nurtured since quitting in 2012. I miss Dunhills. And I only smoked a pack every two weeks (I wasn't a chain smoker). One cigarette a day, in the evenings, with a syrah - I used to work at an alcohol shop and purveyor of fine foods.

I like my men with a copious, plentiful amount of facial and body hair, thank you very much. He needs to be a grizzly bear in the bedroom. Next.

I imagined that I would work as a translator and interpreter, but what if immigration law needs me more than ever? Contemplating the switch.

We are well on our way to becoming an authoritarian dictatorship. Truly. God save us. *deep sigh*

The California Democrat returned to the Senate floor Tuesday to warn that the Trump administrations response to immigration protests in Los Angeles should "shock the conscience of our country."

being nonwhite and working for ICE should be a “my family doesn’t talk to me anymore” level offense

lmao

They keep on forgetting the word “capitalism” and saying “biblical” instead

No, I just woke up late and I can’t deal with this barrage of news just yet. I need breakfast, coffee, water, and my diabetes meds. And I missed Morning Prayer.

I spoke to a dozen of activists inside Iran. They have one thing in common: They oppose the Israeli attacks and they want the war to stop. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Netanyahu began this war with his attack on Iran. In the process, he sabotaged US-Iran negotiations on nuclear issues and assassinated Ali Shamkhani, Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator. The US must not be dragged into another illegal Netanyahu war – either militarily or financially.

Most of the replies are complaining that he limited his deportation demands to Pakistanis rather than all Muslims. Utter utter cesspit.

June might be halfway over, but we’re still on the hunt for California intertidal species! 👀⭐🦪🐙

10 years later and we’re still dealing with the mess that began with that escalator ride.

😅🤣😂
