Notice how the popular press reports J Joss’ murder. Then, read what his husband wrote. Read what the queer voices wrote.
Also, if you aren’t seeing reports of queer and trans folks being murdered in your feeds daily, just know it’s not because it’s not happening. 🤷♂️

Me: “So, here’s the deal, Jesus is all human and all God, all at once. Kinda like how Piper the puppy is Lab and German Shepherd all mixed up together, y’know? And, like sometimes more one than the other?”

The Park Rangers at Independence Hall in Philly are literally the coolest people ever. Inspiring, drummed up the Patriot within each of us.

A+ for this Boston College pup who successfully greeted 40 or so undergrads on their last day of their ‘Mind of a Dog’ course. Kept four paws (mostly) on the floor, earned many kibbles. Nearly 7 months old, this scrappy baby GSD/lab is such a delight. ♥️

Sunday strolling after worship. One of the most centering, deeply moving moments in my life is when I stand next to my son for communion. We bend time and join ancestors. Or, when I prop up his head while he naps on me in the pew. Or, when I sing my great grandparents’ hymns next to him. ♥️

I’ve never appreciated this co-parent/partner of mine more than these past two hours in which she has genuinely engaged, with joy, this movie that I cannot possibly even fake attention and enthusiasm for. She’s a total champ and this kid is thrilled! Thanks, Minecraft! Thanks, co-parent!

Lovin this night out at the WooSox game! I really appreciate how easy, affordable, and family friendly these games are. For $15 bucks, I can park the car. For $3 I can feed the fam dinner on burger night. Perfect weather.

Alright, Riot Fest!
This’ll be a real fun time with the fam. Looking forward to the newly minted 4th grader getting some good live music education in Chicago. 👍👍

If the only reason I did a Masters and a Doctorate in theology was to lead my child in the rituals of our faith, on the floor of our living room, surrounded by candle light, icons of his choice in the center, my grandparents’ rosaries around his neck…

Where would folks recommend a currently-US-based mid-thirties queer trans activist/organiser look for residential graduate programs in Ireland?
Someplace with awesome research/thinking/writing happening from the more radically anti-assimilationist fronts…would be what he’d be most into.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

Told him the point was:
1. This is how we DO our religion and prove we got the point of all our Bible stories
2. This is part of the magic formula.. we pray and light candles, read our Bible, discuss. AND we hit the streets to march. It’s a magic formula with God and humans working together.

Here we go. Drug trial #3.
This stuff retails for several thousand dollars a month. Because, capitalism. Grateful, so grateful- to be insured. To have a physician skilled at going toe to toe with authorisers. Wish me luck! 50-60% chance this could be a winning part of the drug puzzle.
