“Chop Wood, Carry Water” an excerpt from today’s sermon on 1 Corinthians 13. We hit Jeremiah and Rosa Parks, and reminders that the very real, true things in life are small and powerful and done whether we doubt ourselves or not. Keep hoping and keep loving, friends.

Convo w/ my NB kid last night—“You scared with all these EOs?” “No. That’s what they want me to be. My friends are scared and I’m scared for them because their parents aren’t checked in or don’t read the news. But I know you love me and you’ll fight for me”

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

This doesn’t make families with trans kids go away. Nor does it make the price of eggs lower or repair the property damage caused by illegal immigration. And it doesn’t steal our joy either!

I need a list. I want to hand write my elected officials and call their offices, but just gesturing wildly at this is not organized enough. Point me the way, Blue Sky. What’s the item du’jour that is within congress’s power?

Lunar New Year ushers in the Year of the Snake, a symbol of wisdom, resilience & transformation. The snake invites us to shed our old selves & embrace growth, a lesson that resonates deeply with my own journey of reclaiming my identity. @goodfaithmedia.bsky.social goodfaithmedia.org/lunar-new-ye...

Four days left of January (the longest month ever!!!) but sharing my #storygraph reads because it’s week 4 of #TheArtistsWay which means a week of reading zero books (THE HORROR) commencing today.

I do not think that everyone has to do everything. I truly believe that we need many people doing something and that we can work together where we’re aligned and part ways to do other work with others where we are not.

Community is the antidote to despair. Today we broke a loaf of sourdough with veterans, recovering addicts, exvangelicals, queer folk, and a bunch of others we call “children of God.” We’re rural Texans and to get to each other we cross the aptly named “Privilege Creek” every Sunday.

In week three of The Artist’s Way. In awe of what is emerging: pastel drawing, handwritten cards, letters to the editor—in addition to meeting my writing goals and morning pages. Creativity begets creativity. #WritersWrite

Not surprised in the least by this childish response to the gospel. A bishop doesn’t get to be a bishop unless she was expecting this. You go, Marian! Must be doing something right!

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

@underthedesknews.bsky.social I know you’re actively on the hunt for a new platform now that TT is a propaganda engine, and I know you’ve taken to threads, but I am one voice (maybe there are others?) who would LOVE for you to land at blue sky because we’re #lightsoutforMeta your voice is missed.

Our job right now is to pay attention and do what we can to remain calm and aware of our circle of influence. That's really freakin’ hard so access joy often.

So nice to be singing “king of kings and Lord of Lords” and in no way be referring to anyone living on earth right now, certainly not in the halls of power #MLKBelovedCommunity www.youtube.com/live/-GkrpGX...

Engaging in the holy ritual of sitting in the car and taking a MOMENT to myself while kids warm up for their violin recital. Brought to me by this blessed oat milk latte and the other cars parked next to me with moms doing the same. Scroll on, sistas! #sunday

Officiated a funeral today for a 17 year old who unalived themselves. I have a feeling we will see more of these over the next four years. Keep Hope, people, and stay alive, even just to piss the powers that be off.

Channeling my @joannaparsons.bsky.social with the click clack light up keyboard my amazing sister sent me and the ai generated image of me at a book talk in 2025. This year was the “I’ll finish the manuscript” year and next is the “I’m publishing this!” year, typewriter noises implied. #vision2025

Gently, respectfully propose an alternative to the common adage “it is what it is.” What if we injected some possibility and hope into our disappointment with the way things are and said “it will be what it will be”? Also riffing on the Hebrew name for God that ~ means “I will be who I will be”

When I finish a big writing goal, like a chapter or a sermon or a blog post, etc.—it’s dance party time. #writers what’s your fav celebration song? I just rocked out to Baby Got Back after printing tomorrow’s sermon 👀 💃🪩
