Any Christian claiming power and violence in the name of God needs to read Psalm 50 and tremble:

These things you have done, and I kept still,
and you thought that I am like you.

I’m not the biggest vestments lad but look at this Watts & Co. Holy Week cope. SO METAL. 📕

Did this for the first time.

Though the nations rage from age to age
We remember
Who holds us fast
God's mercy must deliver us from the conqueror's crushing grasp
This saving word that out forebears
Heard is the promise which holds us bound
'Til the spear and rod can be
Crushed by God
Who is turning the world around

Me and @ancientspeak.bsky.social lobbied hard for Canticle of the Turning as the final hymn at our ordination and it was ~prescient~!!!

Thank you!

God is so good. 📕

This is your regular reminder that whenever you watch a medical drama and a chaplain character just, like, never appears, that's weird.

Chaplains are a constant presence in hospitals. They're considered part of the care team, and it's super odd that (most) medical shows pretend that isn't the case.

I’m sure this is a fine podcast but, 🧼 📦, I hate that so much of the mainline is allergic to the idea of giving something up for Lent. We don’t need to be clever or subversive or “read against the grain” always! It’s actually good to give things up and practice discipline! ⚓️

CBS banned this from airing on late night but it’s so important to watch. I was actually moved to the point of tears watching two Christians talk about actual Gospel values in this setting. It gives me hope.

Reading Bonhoeffer's Life Together in a week I've wrestled with and suffered due to my own pride was the conviction I sorely needed.

Two weeks. 😳

GOE results just dropped. Prayers and comfort for all! 📕

Apple Music threw up Goldfinger the other day, and it still slaps.

objects are morally neutral. what humans do with them is the issue.

I agree in principle, and in the words we use among ourselves. But coming from a media background journalists have to be careful in this language. Murder is a determination made by the courts on someone's guilt and culpability. Neutral terms are used until a jury has determined.

We‘re overdue an EDM banger to unify the people. Where is this generation’s “Sandstorm”?

He spent literally 5 minutes at dinner time asking me what knots in wood were.

My kid was 2 years old when he commented “L has two mommies”. An observation without question. And that was it.

I want Duolingo to release their data for Spanish signups in the last 24 hours.

It’s so funny to make the most intergenerational and family oriented halftime show in years to highlight how genuinely delusional (and fundamentally racist) MAGA culture war derangement is

Artists are essential for seeing our way out of this.

Fuck ICE

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

I turn 40 tomorrow, I did this.
