Resistance to fascism has to begin as internal work and we must never stop nourishing that part of our soul. Because everything in the world will encourage us to compromise, to capitulate, to become a bystander and then a collaborator.

Got this amazing Alien tattoo today.
Even if you feel like an Alien in this world, love and embrace who you are. It is definitely worth it!!!

This is the one of the pettiest, most insecure things I've seen perpetuated by a wannabe tyrant gasping the last wheezing breaths of white supremacy and fragile masculinity. Beyond pathetic. It's the Gulf of Mexico, and it will always be the Gulf of Mexico. #gulfofmexico #alwaysgulfofmexico

Doubt, questions, and uncertainty are completely normal, healthy aspects of faith.

Rather than bugs needing to be weeded out & destroyed, they are features of a faith that is vibrant and active, centered on trust in God.

A picture of this text: β€œPhilip Yancey’s friend who is a recovering alcoholic once told him:

"When I'm late to church, people turn around and stare at me with frowns of disapproval. I get the clear message that l'm not as responsible as they are.

When I'm late to AA, the meeting comes to a halt and everyone jumps up to hug and welcome me. They realize that my lateness may be a sign that I almost didn't make it. When I show up, it proves that my desperate need for them won out over my desperate need for alcohol."

The church has so much to learn from the recovery community.

Haven’t had a great start to 2025.
Recovering from post viral symptoms of a cold, can not shake it off. Also had some minor surgery to remove a growth on my forehead. Maybe the scar will make me more attractive 😏

We say it's a time of watching and waiting, but the journey toward Christmas can be a hard slog... and sometimes you just need to crash!

Poster for the Pits and Perverts concert

Forty years ago today, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners hosted Pits and Perverts, a benefit concert for striking miners in south Wales. The event was a key moment in solidarity between queer and working-class communities, with Welsh mining unions marching in London's Pride the following year.

Mary: as a Biblical scholar, I can’t recommend this right-wing funded Netflix biopic My critiques of Mary centre around two themes. One is the way it perpetuates conservative ideals around women and gender. The other is its misrepresentations of Jews and Judaism.

From far out in the center
of the naked lake
A Lost Loon’s Loud Lament
Echoes the cry of someone.

My love, we did not arrive at this place
To remain whole.
We came to lose our leaves
Like trees.

Trees are broken in winter and start again
Drawing up from
The Great Root.

Like Trees
We live again.

Rejecting the bargain Exit polls reveal a familiar story: around 8 in 10 white evangelicals voted for Trump (as did around 6 in 10 white Catholics and mainliners).

"The one thing the church must never do is to claim God to be on the side of any particular country or any particular political party or any particular individual. That is is the road to idolatry. That is a bargain with the Devil."
