You Being You, by Keith David Solomon track by Keith David Solomon

My friend just released this song and it is what every trans kid in America ought to be hearing right now. 💜💜💜

Let trans kids thrive.

Contextualization is everything. Also we are doing OK but it was WILD last night

It's me!

It's me! Glad to see this making the rounds again.

Almost every major outlet has run a piece entitled “who are the Kurds?” In the last week. Which other ethnic group, much less US ally for decades, would they write like this about? Why do Kurdish people have to be treated like some kind of oddity every time they’re relevant to a US audience?

Such an important little book!

Yeah the * in advance* "But the MAGA fascists are worse so you have to Newsome now" people can be unhinged.

🎼 Let's talk together of the time
when we will share a feast,
when pride and power kneel to serve
the lonely and the least,

and joy will set the table
as we join hands to pray,
singing welcome,
welcome to this place.
You're invited to come and know
God's grace.

Thank you.

That line broke me.

Also the entire lizard encounter—the only Ghost that verifiably goes on to the mountain.

This is really beautiful

Absolutely. It was really important on my journey

"In theological language, it was dysphoria that alerted me to my own need for sanctification. Because sanctification is, after all, the process of becoming in the direction of who we Are... Gender dysphoria... grants us a glimpse of the Real that haunts us all."

Following then 😁

This will probably turn off just about everybody that follows me. But I'm repeating anyway because it's brilliant, and expresses a deep, challenging truth in a way that might resonate with somebody

Trump said Spain "has been terribly" by refusing US military base use, and added "we can just fly in and use them, nobody is going to tell us not to use it." Trump said he personally told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cut all trade with Spain. #US

Horrifying.

Many alleged suicides of Black trans women are in fact modern-day lynchings, report finds Jill Collen Jefferson, the founder of JULIAN, explains what happens when a transgender woman’s death is ruled a suicide and a community calls it something else.

A new report is raising questions about how U.S. law enforcement agencies across the South classify the deaths of transgender women, arguing that some cases ruled suicides may warrant deeper scrutiny.

It's really heavy y'all.

RUBIO:

“We knew that if Iran was attacked—and we believe that they would be attacked—that they would immediately come after us…”

Rubio’s remarks sound like Israel told the Trump admin they were planning to attack Iran with or without the US, and the Trump admin made its decision based on that.

In Gratitude for my Gender Dysphoria On being trans during lent; on death; on the sublime

I wrote another essay. I think this is the shape I want my trans liberationist theology to take.

This was really cool to get to be part of!

When you Can't Find Hope A Meditation on facing the rise of American Fascism

Thank you for the mention. Here is the essay I think you are referring to and yeah, that is absolutely a major theme for me.

Getting to talk with @dr-maeforrest.bsky.social , Kat or Bill is always a joy; getting to chat *about Lewis* was beyond delight.
