Resistance to fascism has to begin as internal work and we must never stop nourishing that part of our soul. Because everything in the world will encourage us to compromise, to capitulate, to become a bystander and then a collaborator.

This is the one of the pettiest, most insecure things I've seen perpetuated by a wannabe tyrant gasping the last wheezing breaths of white supremacy and fragile masculinity. Beyond pathetic. It's the Gulf of Mexico, and it will always be the Gulf of Mexico. #gulfofmexico #alwaysgulfofmexico

Doubt, questions, and uncertainty are completely normal, healthy aspects of faith.
Rather than bugs needing to be weeded out & destroyed, they are features of a faith that is vibrant and active, centered on trust in God.

Haven’t had a great start to 2025.
Recovering from post viral symptoms of a cold, can not shake it off. Also had some minor surgery to remove a growth on my forehead. Maybe the scar will make me more attractive 😏

What a amazing book to read over this season of Advent. It has been a pure joy, also interesting and informative book. The Book of Waiting, I would recommend to may be read for next Advent.

Train crash partly caused by spider bites. #Straya www.abc.net.au/news/...
Fatigue, spider bites contributed to BHP train crash in WA's north
Poor sleep, increased stress and spider bites contributed to a train crash on a BHP iron ore site at Port Hedland earlier this year, a national transport safety watchdog report has found.

Forty years ago today, Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners hosted Pits and Perverts, a benefit concert for striking miners in south Wales. The event was a key moment in solidarity between queer and working-class communities, with Welsh mining unions marching in London's Pride the following year.

Meredith Warren on the new movie about Mary.
Mary: as a Biblical scholar, I can’t recommend this right-wing funded Netflix biopic
My critiques of Mary centre around two themes. One is the way it perpetuates conservative ideals around women and gender. The other is its misrepresentations of Jews and Judaism.

"The one thing the church must never do is to claim God to be on the side of any particular country or any particular political party or any particular individual. That is is the road to idolatry. That is a bargain with the Devil."

Rejecting the bargain
Exit polls reveal a familiar story: around 8 in 10 white evangelicals voted for Trump (as did around 6 in 10 white Catholics and mainliners).
