It's time to start the Theologies of KPop Demon Hunter series. I'll be livestreaming the conversation on Twitch & YouTube (links in bio). The first episode is an overview with my friend Tom Rim, and we'll go live on Sept 29th around 2 PM EST.

On mile 5 out of 12. Already listened to the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack twice. I've got the outline for a (Queer) Gospel according to KPop Demon Hunters written. Bog posts coming soon.

No one is independently wealthy. We're all connected. Wealth gained by one is hoarded from others.

I have gone on a few planning retreats in the past year, and the body doubling has helped me get things done and have people around me to bounce ideas off of. Since I won't attend one this June (sorry, friends), I will try to make one virtually.

Best Transgender Day of Visibility ever.
Special thanks to the Maryland Republican Party for making sure I knew about the Trans Pride party at the Glen Burnie library.
I was able to go there early and almost finish my DMin paper that is due tomorrow.

Helpful historical context from Dr. Barbara A. Holmes's Crisis Contemplation.

If you have time this Saturday (3/15) at 1:30 PM in Elkridge, MD I'll be offering a spiritual practices workshop as a way to develop a connected contemplative community during these unstable times.

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

The "NOT STEPPING DOWN" Playbook:

🍊💩🤡 openly touted a third term at CPAC, calling himself King, desperate to cling to power, repeating the same playbook, from Caesar to Putin.

In my latest Substack, I mapped these steps & conditions into a comprehensive table and analysis: tinyurl.com/2433tm2h

The Trump administration is trying to force 600,000 Venezuelans out of the U.S.—days after calling them ‘dirtbags.’ This racist, unconstitutional decision must be stopped. I’m standing with immigrants and demanding justice. Join me. #ProtectTPS #TPSjustice

Universal healthcare would assure better health outcomes for the working class, the poor, black & brown people. They don’t want that.
Fully funded public schools would mean quality education for the children of the working class, the poor, black & brown people. They don’t want that.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools.

Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights
The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X.

This agency has saved Americans billions.

DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.
