The profound good news of Easter from John 20:

the wounded Lord has risen,

and the risen Lord has wounds.

Writing is 99% self-loathing and beating yourself up and 1% getting down a good sentence and being like, yeah that one's a banger.

The narrative isn’t that β€œwe’re losing democracy” (though it’s true).

The narrative is β€œA group of ultra-wealthy men is raiding the government coffers and dismantling organizations charged to serve the people in order to make themselves dizzyingly rich at your expense.”

would love to start a thread here of Christians who observe Lent sharing any cool ideas you are planning for a Lent Thingℒ️ that supports democracy & progressive values and encourages small daily acts of resistance amidst *gestures wearily* all this

Every woman who fled complementarian evangelical spaces has sat in a room like that. With men like that publicly berating her, scrutinizing what she’s wearing, and demanding thanks for their mistreatment, calling it protection while siding with abusers and thugs. It wasn’t a shock. It was a memory.+

If you find a friend who thinks about their own mortality as often as you think about yours, does that mean you’re co-morbidities or are you co-morbidibuddies

Your imposter syndrome should have died laughing at this point. You're doing great. You didn't author a bill to rename Greenland "Red, White, and Blueland." You can do anything.
