Be like Pluto. Be you. No matter what.

".. the things that you love about me – my warmth, my empathy, my identification with the marginalized, my passion for justice, my humor – all of those things have been shaped by my experience of being gay. If you love me … being gay is part of the package.” episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/06/02/e...

Le sigh.

Mike Johnson: “4.8 million people will not lose their Medicaid unless they choose to do so.” These "good Christians" have no heart. They have ice water in their veins. Their moral compass is broken. Rise up. Stand up. Speak up. www.cnbc.com/2025/06/01/s...

Happy PRIDE Month. Anyway.

This is simply fabulous. So much I didn't know. So much we all need to know & never forget. Hey, MAGA and Project 2025, hear us clearly: We're not going back. You can try to erase our history, but we'll never forget, and we'll never stop telling the story. www.washingtonpost.com/history/inte...

Maureen Dowd is the GOAT. <Elon Musk came to Washington with a chainsaw and left with a black eye. Shrinking government is hard, particularly when you do it callously and carelessly — and apparently on hallucinogens.> www.nytimes.com/2025/05/31/o...

As we begin PRIDE month, these FAQs are especially important in the Age of MAGA and the advent of Project 2025. revsusanrussell.substack.com/p/faqs-about...

Author Anne Lamott famously said that the best morning prayer is this: “Please, please, please.” And, the best bedtime prayer is this: “Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.” elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/the-high-p...

Joni Ernst on Medicaid cuts: “We all are going to die” JD Vance on school shootings: they are a “fact of life” Donald Trump on toys for children: Two dolls are enough And Trump after a school shooting: “Get over it, we have to move forward” These people are incapable of governing. Or humaning

For what it’s worth, go into those interviews knowing that this much is true: I love you. So does the One who created you. Nothing can ever change that. Not even you. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/both-sides...

There was a plane flying over the beaches today with a banner in the back that said, simply, "T.A.C.O." Apparently, we mere mortals who don't speak the language of the gods don't understand that T.A.C.O. is another word for "negotiation". I know. This isn't 'nice'. But it is hilarious.

Let’s call these and other true sayings “The Revolutionary Rosary.” We’ll just keep repeating these “self-evident truths” that God has ordained us with a few certain “Inalienable rights” like “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/truth-by-b...

To kick off LGBTQ+ Pride month, PB Sean Rowe will be presiding at a Eucharist at the Chapel of the Lord at the Episcopal Church Center. Commissioning and blessing of PRIDE participants will be included in the service. It will livestream at: www.youtube.com/@TheEpiscopa...

This prayer from Kenya seems like a good way to end the MAGA week that was. Oh, wait. That particular evil doesn't take weekends off. Oh well, pray anyway.

This is MAGA technique, practiced at the local level. episcopalnewsservice.org/2025/05/29/d...

Hmmm .... I wonder who this might be ....

I thought we were deporting "the murderers, rapists, drug dealers and bad guys". Wait! Trump wasn't telling the truth? He was (gasp!) LYING? How could that possibly be? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

I take these words with me on my journey, from the wisdom of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/saudade

Stand up. Speak up. Show up.

The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

Maybe, just maybe, Edward Abbey was right: “A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government." elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/memories-n...

Jan Phillips is a modern mystic and a prophet.

"I have sometimes thought that, in order to be a good minister, it was necessary to leave the ministry. The profession is antiquated. In an altered age, we worship in the dead forms of our forefathers." Ralph W Emerson 1838 He also wrote: "Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air."

If only it were as easy as saying, three times, “Christian. Christian. Christian,” & POOF! We’re Christian. POOF! There goes racism. POOF! There goes sexism & misogyny. POOF! There goes class status. POOF! There goes human exploitation and trafficking. elizabethkaeton.substack.com/p/the-beetle...
