Do you have a favorite board game?

Kids go through active shooter drills and we've just come to expect that every year some kids will die at school, but the government thinks they're "protecting kids" by implementing gender affirming care bans for youth. All the current medical guidelines have done is help kids become adults.

You mean listening to the people you want to represent and making them feel heard and seen? Yes please.

The Pope is still supposed to be celibate....

I think this shows some of the abandonment people have felt as good paying manufacturing jobs moved to Mexico after NAFTA. Tariffs won't bring the jobs back, but that's the line they are being fed. MAGA did a good job pretending to see and care for them while Dems told them to go back to school

Still riding the high of my bishop telling me three days ago that they are lucky to have me in Connecticut. Never underestimate the power of a compliment.

I accidentally spilled mouthwash on my sweatshirt the other day. Now all my laundry is minty fresh.

Today my spiritual mentor died of cancer. She was the priest who led my discernment team for the priesthood and stayed on afterwards, leading me in discernment through the first years of clergy life, helping me not to quit the whole endeavor. Rest in love, Jean. Well done, good and faithful servant.

When Bishop Budde spoke truth to power in the worship service Donald attended, she spoke with the power of the commitments of The Episcopal Church, upholding what the denomination has resolved to do in our General Convention. She was truly representing the people who elected her.

She's been Bishop of the Washington DC area since 2011 and has called him out before for his photo op with a Bible in front of one of her congregations during the Black Lives Matter protests. She's not afraid of Donald. She holds fast to her beliefs.

Washington National Cathedral Bishop Calls Out Trump to His Face Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, a bishop at Washington National Cathedral, made a plea to President Donald Trump during her sermon on Tuesday.

Unrivaled is here and it's so good!

I talk about it as the money to month ratio. If you don't have enough money for the month, you're stressed all the time. If there's a balance, it's less stressful but there's a looming uncertainty. If you have more money than month you can relax and more money is nice, but not as big of a deal.

Ouuh I just love this one it is so me!

Looked through a SNAP food application today at my MSW internship. One question was: Does your household make less than $150 a month pre-tax?
Think about that.

Don't worry, he'll be there in time to toss some paper towels to the folks who lost entire neighborhoods.

Last night I was in Walgreens and saw the person ahead of me and the cashier smiling and joking together in ASL, obviously well acquainted with each other. It was beautiful.

As for closed captioning v. Sign language interpretation, do you even watch things with closed captioning? It sucks.

If you are going to pick any president as your role model, pick Carter.

I really don't love that a fire is blasting through one of the most populous cities in the US, especially right before Donald is inaugurated again. I mean, what is he going to do? Throw paper towels at it?

What makes America great? I don't know, but going to a local Puerto Rican restaurant where English is rarely spoken and getting amazing empanadas is pretty darn good. Puerto Rico has some of the best food in the US.

That's not a bad way of doing things. Thank you for teaching me something new.
It's still not the same as having a privacy setting on posts, but it's a good work around.

I looked that up yesterday and was met with a sign in page where you could use your Facebook or Twitter logins to get in. Granted, it was nice to see the old bird logo, but didn't instill me with much confidence.

Blue Sky is like Twitter, so it's all public engagement. The majority of my FB interaction is friends only.

My problem is that I can't find an app that allows me to keep in contact with friends in the same way. Everyone is there and living in a different state, it's the easiest way for me to keep up with what's going on.

Defending the Dignity of Trans and Non-Binary People in 2025 and Beyond Episcopalians and all others interested in justice for women, LGBTQ+ justice, and social justice are invited to join this webinar to learn from gender justice leaders within and beyond The […]

Please let folks know about this in congregations and communities (there is so much fear right now). ⚓️🏳️‍⚧️

If we are the body of Christ that means that sometimes the hands have to clean up after the bum hole. And friends, the bum has been spewing unfettered in the US for too long.

My brother is infinitely smarter than me. He just is autistic and struggled with organization and homework. I'm working on my second Master's. He's got an associates degree. Still smarter and the fastest reader I know.

Will he be visited by three spirits this evening or will he die like Marley and become a ghost wrapped in chains?

I found one of my favorite authors through Ed. Ed is not someone I know beyond a "Hello". He works at the library and lives in my building. You can't miss Ed, he has a long beard and only wears shorts. When I received a librarian favs list I looked for what Ed picked. It was great. Librarians rule.

Thanks. I've been wondering for months.
