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

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....)

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.

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 ❤️❤️❤️
