Advent Kira

They’re so good! This time it was the second one, but I love the first one too.

Had our children/youth choir commemoration of St. Lucy and no one caught on fire! Welcomed back our seasonal assisting priest from Maine. Good Sunday.

The tree is up, and I put on a Christmas fireplace YouTube video and Leslie Odom Jr’s Christmas album. My husband came in and was like, “Whoa. It is extremely festive in here.”

The Pop-Tarts Bowl features the sacrifice of a beloved figure, who is reborn anew as someone who is ceremonially consumed in celebration.

This is literally the central narrative of the crucifixion, resurrection, and communion. How could ND say no?!!

Same! It’s so good.

Netflix-Warner Bros Desl Is an ‘Anti-Monopoly Nightmare,’ Sen Warren Says

This headline got me all exited that Elizabeth Warren was going to fight The Batman.

I sent my husband a TikTok that was like, how to get makeup/skin care stuff for your wife for Christmas, and he just returned from Sephora looking like he’d been at war.

It’s a pretty pleasant place to see a movie, but it also is kind of creepy because it’s so empty.

That color is so good on you!

That’s a new dinner party conversation: Who is someone that you hate so much that, if given the time, energy, and crew, you’d produce a 4-part documentary on them?

big football day for haters

Oh Liz, I’m so sorry. Praying for all of you.

It’s me. I’m the history/musical theater girl.

All the history/musical theater girls are singing Hamilton and 1776 lyrics while watching Ken Burns’ American Revolution.

“Kira, what do you even mean puppet Krampus?”

In a very “our household” way, my plans today involve an ordination. My spouse’s plans involve helping MC a Krampus Pageant. Rolling through the streets of SF with a robe and stole and a Muppet-style puppet dressed as Krampus.

Why would you want to make me cry this morning?!?!

This is basically our marriage!

"I like standing up and saying things."

Oo, I loved The Sympathizer, which I read this year. Currently reading A Tale for the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki.

A Grand Ole Opry Christmas?!?!

Marina’s reaction to Safeway tower plans: ‘Along comes this behemoth right on the waterfront’ Plans to put a 25-story apartment complex on San Francisco’s Marina district sparked concerns about a future where the city’s waterfront is ringed by tall housing structures.

It's shockingly beautiful AND it upsets the right people??? www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s...

Oops.

Recent discourse adjacent: The seminarian I’ve been working with is getting ordained to the transitional diaconate tomorrow, and she came from a Roman Catholic background. While I’m glad TEC gets her as ordained clergy, I can’t help thinking that the RCs are missing out. ⚓️

Someone should hire him!

I have just approved TINY CARS to be built in America. Little SEDANS that should fit four at most but when you open the door 27 clowns spill out. HOW??? They will DUST THEMSELVES OFF as they leave the car. The HORN will make the little eeooh-eeooh sound. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

It’s wild to me that people will challenge me on being a priest like the church isn’t blessed to have me. 💅

👏👏👏
