Not to brag but at the Christmas Eve service, I got to take communion next to (a very serious looking) Santa Claus, in full costume, sans hat.
This is the beginning of some sort of high church hallmark Christmas movie. I’m sure of it.

This is the most Catholic thing he’s done in office
"President Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal death row, sparing the lives of 37 men just a month before Donald J. Trump will return to the Oval Office with a promise to restart federal executions." (via @nytimes.com)
Biden Commutes 37 Death Sentences Ahead of Trump’s Plan to Resume Federal Executions
Those affected by the president’s action on Monday are still subject to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. Three men will remain on federal death row.

A belated photo of my small #SBLAAR24 book haul, all on trauma and disability. If you follow me elsewhere, you may remember that I posted early in the year about my daughter.
Early in 2024, we suddenly discovered that she has a rare disorder connected to the severe birth trauma we both endured 🧵/

The 12 days of Christmas END WITH EPIPHANY and that is the pettiest but most passionate hill I will die on.
(Also, the wise men DO NOT GET PUT IN THE MANGER, they go on the OTHER SIDE OF THE ROOM and you MOVE THEM EVERY DAY)

As we approach the holiday season, could I please remind everyone (and especially whatever corporate/marketing/giant parody accounts that have come over here) that the “Twelve Days of Christmas” begin ON CHRISTMAS DAY and not on December 1st. Please and thank you. #Christmas #TwelveDaysOfChristmas

Now that #SBLAAR24 is done, can I admit that I frankly didn’t find San Diego all that great? 😬
I know this is an unpopular opinion and it may be bc I’ve reached record levels of snark this year, but I found it expensive, too hot to dress professionally but comfortably, and too sprawling

I was yesterday years old when I learned that Christ the King Sunday was founded in 1925 in response to the rise of fascism, communism, and Nazism. This makes me way more into it.

One thing I really like about SBL is that whether the apostle Paul could have gotten peed on through a prison window leads to a lively historical discussion

Best. Title. Ever.
@jandrewdoole.bsky.social in Action, presenting his excellent and also very witty #sblaar24 paper on the Church father's discussion on Jesus as a chicken. Definitely wins the award for best paper title: Early Church Feathers.
