For me the funniest (tragicomic) bit was “he should get his act together as Pope.”

“Happy resurrection, Jesus,” I say, and then bite the head off a sugar-coated marshmallow chicken.

Protest sign: READ BOOKS / BAN WAR

#ReadBooksBanWar

Protest sign: “FREE BOOKS / nothing scares an oppresor like an intelligent, well-read populace.”

A display of books being given away for free at the No King protest. Visible titles include “Champions of Change,” “Brother Eagle Sister Sky” and “Who Were the Tuskeegee Airmen?”

At this protest I also donated to the local food bank, added my signature to get a non-traditional political hopeful on the local ballot, wrote a postcard to my church asking them to divest of any investments benefitting the Palestinian genocide, and gave away free books. Even small actions matter.

A woman wearing a protest sign that reads “No Kings but Friday XIII” written next to a black and white photo of Mr Rogers with his King Friday puppet.

Yes, rallies are performative. But this is Provo, Utah, and visibile dissent matters.

Today they banned my book. It was not the first. It won’t be the last. Here’s what I want you to know. This is not what I wanted to write. I wanted to write about how I’m about to go on book tour for my new book in a few days. Instead I am writing about the fact that I was just informed that m…

In Difficult Times, We Find Out What Kind of Christians We Are We’re living in a historic moral crisis; small actions can still make a difference.

Hundreds descend on ICE warehouse to protest SLC detention center; demonstration ends with vandalism Within an hour of the protest's start, the crowd had at least tripled in size. Although most of the demonstration was peaceful, tensions flared as it drew to a close.

A white woman holding two protest signs on the street, with a crowd of protestors in the background in front of a currently empty warehouse. Her signs read: “Ye have done it unto me. -Jesus” and “We remember Topaz—No ICE Camps in Utah.”

Protesting the proposed ICE warehouse site in Salt Lake City.

I’m not just virtue signaling; I’m making it easier for whoever is monitoring US citizens’ social media accounts to identify my stance on this issue. Just so we’re clear.

a cartoon of a man standing next to a tree with red cherries on it Alt: From the Disney cartoon, a young Johnny Appleseed bounces from limb to limb of an apple tree.

Post a gif of who you wanted to be as a kid.

On a podcast? Sure. Over a game they’re supposed to be calling? Nah.

P.S. My Viking and Anglo-Norman ancestors subjugated and enslaved the Irish. My colonization era was much more benevolent. It was also extremely short-lived.

A cloudy day, a view from the bottom of a grass-covered hill with a flat top. At the top of the hill, in the middle distance, are two human-sized standing stones and a small figure which is one human woman. The woman is dressed in a dark blue rainjacket and poses with her arms held triumphantly open. She is the only person in the photo. This is the Hill of Tara. Image (c) wodsidas, 1994.

It’s that time o’ the year when I like to remind folks of the triumphant day in 1994 when I stood next to the Lia Fáil (Stone of Destiny), atop the inauguration mound at the Hill of Tara, and laid claim to the high kingship of ancient Ireland.

I can’t keep up! Too much quality stuff to read!

A puppet wearing a golden crown, ruby-red cloak, bright purple tunic, and a distinguished white moustache and goatee, stands with open arms on the balcony of his castle, surrounded by colorful celebratory paper chains. This is King Friday XIII of the Land of Make Believe. Created by Mr Fred Rogers.

It’s that day again! No Kings but His Majesty Friday XIII.
