I can’t fully explain it but I feel the same way about honorifics as I do pronouns. It’s a choice lowkey to call me Ms/Miss when I use Rev. in my professional correspondence.
Call me Rev. and use the they/them in She/They, you cowards! 😂

Currently people watching at the airport. I’m lowkey judging you for your footwear decisions.
Even before plane crashes seemed to happening more frequently lately, I can’t imagine open toe footwear is advisable in high density public spaces with carpeted surfaces. 😩

Earlier this week, I met with the Board of Ordained Ministry. Unfortunately, I was deferred and will be spending an extra year preparing for ordination.
Please continue to pray for me and for the Board as we continue our walk together- I know this decision wasn’t made lightly.

Never forget we used to have a progressive tax that taxed the wealthy proportionately to their income in this country.
We could easily pay for the programs that the most vulnerable and marginalized in our communities need if we taxed the rich. Which uh, we used to do.

Something no one prepared me for is how much of my job would involve beefing with someone’s grandparents.

Me when my autism, adhd and hEDS are disabling me more than usual: “Which one of you put adhd in charge? This is why autism runs most things. And hEDS? Sorry, babe, I think you need to stay on the bench.” 🤣

I’m just a Gen Z working for a baby boomer. My new reply to my boss when any sentence begins with “Now this was before your time…..” has become “Oh lore? I love lore.” 🤣
We actually get along really well. My parents are also baby boomers and it’s like like working with my Dad honestly. 😉

One reason I pivoted to working in the secular work place as a disabled clergy person, is the Church’s inability to provide accommodations and support.
It is wild to me how night and day my secular employer addresses my access needs without a second thought or further questioning. They just do.

Lowkey might lose my mind if one more person asks why processing is taking at least a business day to respond.
It’s the third day back after a major holiday. We’re short staffed. People are out of office or sick or just returning. It’s all hands on deck and we’re playing catch up right now. 😩

It’s cold today so I put my little dog in a sweater and I just can’t. 😭 He’s so cute. I love dogs in clothes.

I’m going to be upset if I get sick after going to the dentist and having my hygienist cough on me.
She was wearing a paper mask, but she really should’ve been wearing an K95. Ugh. Even if she’s not sick, that’s still gross and I literally do not want you to cough on me.

If I had one word of wisdom to offer folks in discernment, candidates for ministry and seminarians, it’s okay if your understanding of your call and vocation shifts.
That’s the beautiful thing about calling. It is not static but ever alive and evolving as we listen for God to guide us.

I think it’s wild how many people I’ve encountered who think they’re entitled to have an opinion on my bodily autonomy and decision to not have biological children.
Are you the person who would have to be pregnant and birth them? If not, you do not get a say. 🤷
