“Chop Wood, Carry Water” an excerpt from today’s sermon on 1 Corinthians 13. We hit Jeremiah and Rosa Parks, and reminders that the very real, true things in life are small and powerful and done whether we doubt ourselves or not. Keep hoping and keep loving, friends.

Convo w/ my NB kid last night—“You scared with all these EOs?”
“No. That’s what they want me to be. My friends are scared and I’m scared for them because their parents aren’t checked in or don’t read the news. But I know you love me and you’ll fight for me”

I need cis people to understand the time for this symbolic gesture is over.
Most of you have no concept of what our fundamental rights are, how they're being violated, or what you can do to stop it.
You wanna show solidarity with us? Start loudly and antagonistically defending trans kids access

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

PROP - PR Over Policy.
Don't confuse them.
He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him.
Dems need to be strategic.

This doesn’t make families with trans kids go away. Nor does it make the price of eggs lower or repair the property damage caused by illegal immigration. And it doesn’t steal our joy either!
Trump’s sweeping anti-trans EO is almost certain to be challenged in court, but if enacted could devastate access to health care for minors. With @oriion.bsky.social and @shoeleatherkate.bsky.social

I need a list. I want to hand write my elected officials and call their offices, but just gesturing wildly at *this* is not organized enough. Point me the way, Blue Sky. What’s the item du’jour that is within congress’s power?

Four days left of January (the longest month ever!!!) but sharing my #storygraph reads because it’s week 4 of #TheArtistsWay which means a week of reading zero books (THE HORROR) commencing today.

Community is the antidote to despair. Today we broke a loaf of sourdough with veterans, recovering addicts, exvangelicals, queer folk, and a bunch of others we call “children of God.” We’re rural Texans and to get to each other we cross the aptly named “Privilege Creek” every Sunday.

Not surprised in the least by this childish response to the gospel. A bishop doesn’t get to be a bishop unless she was expecting this. You go, Marian! Must be doing something right!
Trump exploded in fury at Bishop Marian Budde on Truth Social a little after midnight, calling her a "hater."
As we argue on today's pod, there is nothing MAGA despises more than appeals to common decency and humanity.

Zuckerberg's 'masculine energy' got its first big win with Trump declaring there are only two genders. This is an agenda that will see laws passed to push gays back into the closet and women back into the kitchen. Our trans siblings are in the front line of this fight, so now more than ever

@underthedesknews.bsky.social I know you’re actively on the hunt for a new platform now that TT is a propaganda engine, and I know you’ve taken to threads, but I am one voice (maybe there are others?) who would LOVE for you to land at blue sky because we’re #lightsoutforMeta your voice is missed.

Our job right now is to pay attention and do what we can to remain calm and aware of our circle of influence. That's really freakin’ hard so access joy often.
The passport page about changing your gender marker is now down.
I'm expecting trans people's passports to be a major battleground of this administration.
