For Advent I'm trying to get back to daily prayer and I think sometimes people need a PSA that even for Episcopalians this does not have to mean the Book of Common Prayer

If there's one thing in life I'm going to take advantage of....it's interlibrary loan...figuring out some Advent-related book requests lol

And flaked, its wooden face askew;

Plywood painted to resemble
An antique, which it’s becoming..."

Anyone know of any indie presses/bookstores doing fun sales right now or for the holidays coming up? 👀 (Also support these things at full price of course, but I'm a grad student rn and library-ing it up primarily at the moment....)

Finally finished this anthology. Been thinking a lot about ekphrastic work work, so was good to see some varied examples!

Update on DHS threats reported from #Worcester: I spoke with @bmietana.bsky.social at @rns.org about what we were hearing on the ground. Bottom line? DHS claims no ICE raids on churches during holidays but won’t rule it out. This is why we at council of churches sue religionnews.com/2025/11/20/v...
Viral warnings of planned ICE raids on churches have pastors worried
(RNS) — Rumors and viral reports about potential ICE raids have immigrant church leaders worried about their congregations. DHS says it doesn’t have plans to raid churches — but won’t rule it out.

Truly infuriating that people position themselves as "for girls" and....support Donald Trump....like....it's not adding up, folks
I’ve spent a lot of the last three years investigating the rise of anti-trans politics. Often, it came back to the controversy over trans women athletes.

So I teamed up with @pablo.show to look into the leading figure on the issue: Riley Gaines.

How right-wing superstar Riley Gaines built an anti-trans empire
The swimmer tied a trans woman for fifth. The MAGA industrial complex took care of the rest.

I just finished The Waves, the final book for the Virginia Woolf class I was in this semester. We read Mrs. Dalloway, To the Lighthouse, Orlando, and The Waves. I think my favorite is between Orlando & The Waves but I loved them all ❤️❤️❤️

Great thing about taking the bus vs. driving: if you forgot to read poems for class, you can read them while walking to and waiting for the bus ✨✨✨
