My main takeaway from “Wicked For Good” will be adopting the use of the phrase “clock tick” when asking someone to give me a moment.

On Instagram a 20 something southern Baptist came at me for being a “practicing homosexual pastor” and went on a tirade making being gay synonymous with being a pedophile.

And when I objected calling him “very unlike Jesus for a Christian” other Christians told me off for being “judgmental” …/1

Definitely “for good”. Not “for great”. The problem with the stage show (second half weaker than the first) is translated into the film. Additional songs forgettable. Cynthia and Ariana both very good but no I don’t think Ariana deserves an Oscar. Yeoh miscast. Goldblum should not sing.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Rutger Bregman said that the line BBC removed from his Reith Lecture broadcast was: "Donald Trump is the most openly corrupt president in American history.”

So even UK media is now under Trump/ Putin control?

Chilling.

Behold. This year’s Advent wreath @stjohnsdixiechurch.bsky.social (set up early as our Advent Vespers begin tonight. We have to begin Vespers prior to the first Sunday of Advent since the fourth Wed of Advent this year is Christmas Eve. )

I believe that people shouldn’t become over attached to material objects and that our memories need not depend on them.

And that goes entirely out the window whenever James suggests getting rid of old Christmas decorations and replacing them with new things.

Canadians, we need to push for legislation that all leaders, federal, provincial, and municipal have background checks. Many professionals have to do because they have positions in which they can exert influence and potentially harm. Why don’t leaders?

I was never going to applaud MTG for anything. AOC is bang on.

Please join us for Advent Vespers at 7:00pm tomorrow, or on our YouTube channel anytime afterwards. Livestream link will be shared after midweek eucharist in the morning.

Take a break, and hold some time to get ready for the great mystery of Christmas.

For someone who posed as “anti-Trump” he sure is sounding a lot like Auntie Trump.

We don’t want MAGA style politics in Ontario or anywhere else in Canada.
Ford says he will audit ‘left-wing radical groups’ opposed to government legislation | Globalnews.ca
Ford's warning came after members of the tenant advocacy group ACORN interrupted the legislature to protest a controversial omnibus bill that shortens some eviction timelines.

I love when people tell me “Christmas was just stolen from pagans” as if
1) that were true - it isn’t.
2) they know anything about the history of Christianity and the development of its theology and feast days - they dont.
3) they know about the complicated, nuanced history of paganism -they don’t

I love the rush to come up with expanded “Wicked” storylines and films and how it’s being marketed as “We have a responsibility to the fans to make more content”.

I think you meant “responsibility to shareholders to make more money”.

The naked capitalism is almost shocking in its directness.

Now we come to that time of year when I ask Jesus to help me prepare for his coming by granting me the grace not to judge the wreaths on my neighbours doors or the trees in their windows.

Then again I probably would have made suggestions to Mary on how to better arrange the straw in the manger.

The ordination of our Curate the Rev. Dr. James Leatch @stjohnsdixiechurch.bsky.social last Sunday.

Taken after I had finished preaching and moments before I slipped out to projectile vomit in the washroom.

Better after the sermon than during. 😳🤢

Nurse Chester back on duty.
Was terribly nauseous after morning services yesterday. Managed to preach at our curate’s ordination and see him ordained - then had to bow out as I felt the nausea returning. Grateful for an understanding bishop and for parishioners who held the reception without me.

One of the things I admire about my husband is his enthusiasm for life. He finds such joy and excitement in the most mundane of things. I envy this ability.

But….

It does often lead to an overabundance of information when he is asked a simple question. He is the King of Overexplaining. /1 …

My current source of outrage is everyone thinking Oz started in 1939.

Schwartz is talking about another movie to “expand the Oz franchise” like L.Frank Baum and subsequent writers Ruth Plumly Thompson, John R. Neill, Jack Snow, and Eloise Jarvis McGraw haven’t already written 40 books about Oz.

As soon as I heard Trump say “Quiet Piggy” this is what I imagined.
