I think for my advent discipline I’m going to unsubscribe from every marketing email I get.
Inspiration comes from what feels like a saturation of marketing emails and texts for the past 7 days

For advent we are going to start up a midweek service. It will be a brief meditative service of prayers with taize music and periods of silence.
I perused some of the Church in Wales “Times and Seasons” and found some things that would work just fine, so I adapted a bit and wove them together.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

Like yeah there was the bailout but also no one went to fucking prison
I swear a Democrat could build an entire national campaign on “I will reintroduce fucking *consequences* to the equation, like we are going to make that a thing” and win on that alone

We've been drowning in median voter theory nonsense for so long, trying to appeal to this mythical centrist vote, that I think it's become easy to forget that having courage in your convictions, standing up for them no matter what, will in some cases inspire even your enemies

There is an article on Substack from a local news org about how a school district is requiring membership in middle school student clubs to students w written permission. HS clubs remain unchanged.
Why? A “gender and sexuality alliance” club was started at the middle school level. (1/x)

One thing about priesting in a small town it’s really important to go to a lot of town events in clerical if only to make an appearance.

Apropos of nothing I was somehow privy to summaries of the conversations surrounding his departure from Harvard and the general theme was “why did we ever think he was a good idea for here?”
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

I remember a vestry meeting at another parish where we were thinking about how to diversify our investment fund. Someone suggested crypto.
Some discussion began and I interjected “before the vestry discusses this further you should know the day this parish invests in crypto is the day I resign.”

In a world where you aren’t allowed to rent a car until you are 25, because your frontal lobe isn’t fully online, maybe arguing semantics about whether Epstein’s victims were young-young, or just kinda young is Not What We Should Be Doing, you know?

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I’m reminded of two very wealthy men I worked fairly closely with. One had as his mission in his later years to give all his money … apart from a set amount in his will for family … he spent his final years pretty happy and content.
And the other who is still around has spent his entire life …

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all
