Just in case you need a reminder. Queer folx are beloved children of God just as they understand themselves to be. Full stop.
Being queer is NOT a sin, but homophobia is.

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch.
The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over.
This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.

To recap: the two major parties refuse to rein in the reign of a demented sociopathic king who daily is marching us into both World War III and the next Civil War simultaneously because a Black president once made fun of him and also the Special Boy wasn't given the Shiny Golden Medal he covets

I've harped on congressional war powers for a long time and we do need to fix all that, but threatening to invade Greenland while ranting at Norway about the Nobel Peace Prize and imposing trade sanctions on NATO is more the kind of thing you can only fix by not having a literally insane president.

This is a real post from the department of labor. So much wrong with it, but the use of Scouting America in it goes against the charter. We are an apolitical org. And also, “a scout is loyal” is from the Scout Law and is not from Norman Rockwell. 🤦♂️

I just realized that I am solidly mid-career now. I’ve been in ministry for 20 years (15 years ordained) and have about 20 more until retirement.
Yet, I still sometimes feel like I am just starting and don’t have any clue what I’m doing. 🤷♂️ I guess that helps me not be an arrogant a-hole

Want to know why most clergy would rather do a hundred funerals than one wedding? There’s a viral post over on threads from a photographer complaining about the rules a church put in place to maintain the sacredness of the ceremony and place.

Time for my annual complaint to SiriusXM because they turn off the Christmas Music on the 3rd day of Christmas - some of us would like to listen all season long - until January 6!

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

I hope KCMO, Missouri, and the Royals are able to find a way to keep Baseball on the MO side of the River…
Under the deal, the team would play in a new stadium in Kansas in 2031. Missouri officials say they're disappointed, ready to respond if deal falls through.
It's official: The Kansas City Chiefs are moving from Missouri to Wyandotte County, Kansas
A major tax incentives package approved Monday by Kansas lawmakers will help the Chiefs build a new $3 billion domed stadium.

Pure fanaticism, just objectively bad policy especially while building all these new data centers. But also an opportunity for Democrats to say loudly, over and over again, that Trump and Republicans are making everything more expensive. Higher electricity costs impact everything.
