I, a person who spent lots of time and money to get and stay pregnant, got my Covid vaccine while carrying twins. It kept me from getting seriously ill and gave them some immunity, too.
Covid vaccines are proven to help protect pregnant women and their babies. But mixed messages from federal agencies and U.S. public health officials have confused some patients and medical providers.

Revisiting one of my favorite photo essays. If you’re not familiar with the Okeefenokee, this is a great intro. If you are, this the perfect visit with an old friend. @bittersouth.bsky.social @davidwalterbanks.bsky.social

Trembling Earth — THE BITTER SOUTHERNER
What can 24 nights solo in our endangered Okefenokee Swamp reveal? Photographer David Walter Banks found something wild and haunting and alive. This is his tale - in words and art.

Yes it did.

And when the church is born again and renewed in the Spirit, it will be through lay people.

Though #flumc25 has ended, the Spirit of awakening grace is moving on this Pentecost Sunday. Big thanks to @revdoccharlie.bsky.social for reminding us of how the birth of the Church came through the empowerment of laity.

The Florida Conference of the United Methodist Church just ordained our first openly queer Elder and Deacon.

If I hadn't seen it with my own two (incredibly watery) eyes, I wouldn't believe it.

Praise be to God. The work continues.

The Co-Bishop(s) are out of order with this re-appointment. The term is for life! Y'all are stuck with this BS.
