It boggles my mind how some creators reach their insanely huge audiences by lip syncing or reading memes. I don’t take my tiktok too seriously; usually it’s just me blabbing to camera about stuff, but oh boy! Reaching 30K regulars (mainly Polish-speakers) took some dedication… and occasional virals😅

Sweet. So I now have a strike on tiktok for “violent extremism” for calling out actual religious extremists harassing women and staff with loud sirens and graphic banners at an abortion clinic in Poland.
And all I said were these famous words of Dave Barnhart paraphrased in Polish.

By a complete accident I found myself attending a service at the Sheffield Cathedral this afternoon commemorating the anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine.
The singing in Ukrainian was so moving. There’s just something special about slavic hymns sung acapela

My article ended up on the cover of the latest Inquirer.
Asking Unitarians to (critically) engage with their bibles a bit more often is probably the closest any Unitarian got to bible bashing. Dangerous territory🚨🚨🚨

It’s hysterical that Americans are signing up en-mass to the Chinese #RedNote (aka #TheLittleRedBook ) ahead of the #TikTok ban.
Your govt officials must love you!😭
Anyway, totally unrelated, here’s a little red book that’s been on the table in the student kitchen throughout my theological studies:

I’ve just accidentally WhatsApped my landlords (instead of my bf):
“Knock knock. I’m starving. 🥺”
So this is how I feel now:

My maps have figured out that I come to church so often that it must be my work, so it always suggests it as a destination. And I am obsessed with the way it frames it:
“Work: place of worship.”
I’m pretty sure there is an anti-capitalist, class-conscious sermon in it. 🤔

I just about managed to get back home last night (with a significant detour) and soon after our village got practically cut off from the world for a day.
Why get snowed in, when you can get flooded in. Fingers crossed I’ll get out alright tomorrow.

After a number of extremely brief, very unbothered, and can’t-be-arsey conversations with no-nonsense str8-to-the-point tradie lads, I drove 135 miles one-way and handed over my entire disposable income, and acquired something that I very much hope is some sort of car engine 🤷♂️

The two aren’t that different. I just stand in front of a group of people and tell them what to do.🙈 Only the music differs.
While I’m at it, allow me to shamelessly plug this book, with this “conversation starter” chapter on group exercise as spiritual practice (an extract from my dissertation.)

Lovely messages left by young refugees on the Christmas tree in our church hall. They attend English classes here and receive practical support from the After18 charity.
Soon another class will be added to the timetable, meaning that our space will be used by the After18 group 4 times a week!

This is an incredibly niche advent humour.
My vocal chords are gone. DEAD fr. Not a good news when you’re a minister AND a group exercise instructor. I’ve tried every remedy known to man with no result. So now, as the last resort I’m turning to this biblical remedy for restoring voice. Iykyk

My most streamed song this year was silence. That’s right, I paid my Spotify subscription to stream silence. Yes, I could explain it (I swear there is a perfectly logical reason behind it) but I’m just gonna leave it at that.
