Someone left the small church I preach for because they got a woman minister ten years ago.
Returned for family reasons Easter Sunday, where you guessed it, I’ve been preaching for five years.
Text was woman finding, and preaching, about the empty tomb.
The Holy Spirit showed her petty side πŸ˜‚

Overhearing bad theology at the coffee shop while on spiritual retreat… the Lord is testing me.
Bonus points: I’m wearing a shirt with my ordination vows on it.

People in states with abortion bans are twice as likely to die during pregnancy The risk is greatest among Black women in states with abortion bans, according to a new report.

People in states with abortion bans are twice as likely to die during pregnancy. This is true for SC. Our maternal mortality rate went from 8th highest in the nation to 7th highest after politicians banned abortion here. But legislators truly don’t care. @19thnews.org

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology.

If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

This…. Is the wildest thing. Are they under the impression it is being prescribed for something other than ADHD? I’m desperately trying to imagine their rationale…

Feeling kinda sad right now. Maybe it’s chemical depression, maybe it’s the fact that South Carolina will execute a man by firing squad tomorrow.
We are… totally depraved.

@vickiringer.bsky.social Hi! I’m a pastor in SC wanting to write in to the committee considering the total abortion ban, obv asking them to reconsider moving forward. Is there anyone who can proof read or assist with testimony?

That awkward moment when you thought Zoom responses to an individual were like private messages and instead it’s just a threaded reply to everyone in the group chat and now a group of random colleagues knows you read smutty fanfiction

I got a lot of f words about anyone wanting to take meds like those away from me
And since I’ll be clinically insane without them I guess I’ll be not guilty of whatever it causes me to do πŸ€ͺ

Also one of my life goals and I’m very serious with this, is traveling to Colombia with you for a fruit tour. I want all the fruits. Your photos make it look like heaven!

I know keurigs are sin, but Nespresso too? My brother in Christ I need coffee fast because I stay in bed until the last possible second πŸ˜… and sometimes even after that

I rely on off-brand Nespresso pods from an Australian company… how screwed am I?

You may think I consider myself the hardest working member of my household, considering I work two jobs and the cats do not.
But actually, it’s the Nespresso I bought four years ago for $15 at a yard sale that pulls two espresso shots daily.

I hope Anderson Clayton (white woman) from NC, youngest party chair in the country, is on the rise too. Glad we have her in the south.

Ugh! I’m sorry! It’s very cold here too, the kind of temps that are usually the lowest we get. Hopefully it will pass without incident

In all likelihood it is a carryover from previously being subscribed to Dr Jill and Kamala, but the follow date being from this month and year really threw me.

What the hell is this? Meta subscribed/followed these accounts for me. I didn’t follow either of this accounts.

Yeah I don’t get that either. I’m used to precedent and the church world in which it’s not a thing until the inauguration or installation. I guess that’s just a ceremonial foregone conclusion? Doesn’t matter anymore? 🀒

The fascism is rapidly intensifying. Trump started the ban in the first place. Now he gets credit for undoing it? Please.
