Ohhh Synic, you’ll always have a special place in our hearts, but some Synod romances just aren’t meant to last. Rest assured, we’ll be friends forever.

@generalsynic.bsky.social It’s been (un)real, but—like Synod—it’s time for our polycule to end. Maybe at GS36 you’ll find new partners in jokes, but @heatherinlaw.bsky.social and @liddybarlow.bsky.social and I no longer give our consent. “U up?” is not the kind of relationship we’re into. #NoDepth

I won’t show him, but I definitely just showed his mom. She’s so proud of him (a) for doing such a great job, and (b) for getting a @generalsynic.bsky.social nod.

And if there’s a second thing we’re good at in the UCC, it’s demonstrating that we don’t understand the purpose and function of bylaws.

Harumph. Back in MY day, the middle-aged clergy tried to claim the 4050 moniker. If it’s good enough for them, it should be good enough for us.
…Or hella awkward, because the name “4050 Clergy” sucked then, too. Either way.

I brought chocolate covered pretzels and “heart-healthy” trail mix to my delegates this morning. @heatherinlaw.bsky.social saw me buying them the other day and thought I would keep them for myself. Really, I’m buying my delegates’ affections. And keeping them awake.

That’s just Synod’s fault in general. I know you would never do me wrong.

This was all my fault. Blame Missouri Mid-South, not K-O. (But as a point in our favor, we had a kickass breakfast spread: smoked salmon, a build-your-own yogurt parfait bar, and “assorted pastries.” Fancy juices. And intravenous coffee drips for every delegate.

Well when you put it that way… I don’t even have a vote and I will still vote for it.
