And thank you for the wonderful talk, the laughs and the tears!

And further to this, because I have no more fucks to give: we've been pandering to Society folk far too long. It's time to make a decision. Either you do the work in your mind and heart and come to accept AFAB clergy or you should maybe find a denomination that's more aligned with your views.

I held my tongue on what happened to LLF because of some processes I'm going through but goodness me. This is shameful and disappointing. I thought as a Church we were above pandering to fascists.

I feel so incredibly sad and lament deeply the fact that the church I serve continues to hurt and harm my siblings in Christ

This is a heart wrenching, beautiful, Jesus centred sermon that is well worth listening to

My stepfather was like this about my volume when I was a child/teen. He even said I WALKED too loudly.

To mark the 1st day of my 4th year without Alice I have an announcement:
I’ve joined up with a determined group of women working to change the narrative around trans people. Women standing in solidarity with our trans siblings.

Our first step is to ask cis women to read and sign our open letter ⬇️

Not in our name: Women in support of the trans+ community

Can you spare a minute to help this campaign?

I drew this cartoon by hand. I have many trans friends who need support, especially these says. This original is available. I call it “Of Course You Exist”, because erasing people is the first step to justifying their persecution and annihilation.

WAKE UP GIRLIES, CALVIN ROBINSON HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF ANOTHER CHURCH

The license granted to the Rev. Calvin Robinson by the Rt. Rev. Ray Sutton of the Reformed Episcopal Church has been withdrawn, after the Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America denounced Fr. Robinson as un- Anglican and ungovernable. On 14 May 2025, Bishop Sutton wrote to Fr. Robinson, stating that with reluctance he was withdrawing the license, but emphasized he was not compeled to abandon the young priest. The action leaves Fr. Robinson without episcopal oversight at this time. In sharing the news with colleagues, Fr. Robinson commented: "I am done, brother."

I've drafted a letter to the UN Independent Expert - feedback welcome.
I think the best strategy is for *lots* of us to write, so that dozens of emails land in his inbox, all calling for help.

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

long stretch of worked roman stone on Hadrian's Wall.

Look at this wonderful little lad I spotted today at @mancathedral.bsky.social
Centuries of choristers grabbing him for support have worn him out.
