Good morning. I mean, technically, Doomed Morning Under A Sky Of Roiling Blood, but look it's a rhetorical thing.

My insurance through the church has pushed me to switch to a mail-order pharmacy. My doctor submitted the order today. Wish me luck, the stories I have heard are not great. Thankfully my doctor is awesome and made sure I have a month’s worth of meds to give me some cushion.

I ask my arthritic knee why it waits until I am trying to sleep to hurt so bleeping much. It only curses me in reply. I’m so grateful for rescue tramadol - which my phone changed to tamales, and that’s also true.

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

One thing that I'm increasingly coming to believe is that stories are going to be central to what comes next. Stories of the harm done. Stories of the great things achieved by government in the past. Stories of valor kindness and quotidian simple resistance.

Every once in a while I remember that, as an adult, I can make nachos whenever I want, and I can also put as many pickled jalapeños on them as I want.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

Online clothing stores, we need to talk about something. Jumpsuits are not dresses, and they should not appear on the dresses tab. I repeat - jumpsuits are NOT dresses (no, not even that palazzo style one). Thank you for your prompt attention to this ridiculous matter.

It's cedar season in Austin, and I'm going to New Testament class with some suspicious looking red eyes.

This cultural self-analysis paper is going to be the end of my already news-worn sanity. I usually do not mix wine and schoolwork, but tonight I may make an exception. #SeminaryLife

My cradle denomination (Lutheran) and my chosen denomination (Episcopalian), together in these very weird times. Mainline to the cultural frontline, please - our voices are needed.

It’s one heck of a morning to be reading this excursus on hegemonic masculinity and political power structures. Flames. Flames on the side of my face.

I have many regrets about Earth, but making humans in a wide range of colors, shapes, and temperaments is not one of them. Celebrate thy diversity. Love each other.

Living alone means just dumping granola into the last of the yogurt in the large yogurt tub and crunching away, free of self-consciousness or decorum.

Dr. Miguel De La Torre spoke at my sending parish tonight, and he said something I needed to hear. Paraphrased: Christians talk a lot about showing hospitality to the stranger. Hospitality implies that you own the house. I don't want your hospitality - I want my damned house back.

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen. 🕯️

Just thinking about the Barmen declaration tonight. The Church's freedom to preach comes from Christ, not the state. No government or ideology can silence the Gospel. Our message: grace, truth, and allegiance to God alone. This can be incredibly problematic. #FaithfulPreaching #BarmenDeclaration

The challenge of keeping a soft heart and a focus on love has been on my mind and in my prayers. God knows I need God’s help with this.

I'm rolling back onto campus today with work to catch up on and a list of books to hunt down before classes start. Oxford Handbook of Origen, anyone? I want it, but have cheerio dollars for anything with the word "Oxford" in the title. I'm full of new semester excitement. I love that for me.
