When I’m weeping profusely, I like to wipe the tears on my chest—notions that they might seep back to my heart and I can cherish them longer.

And oh what a book to be savored. Please get yourself a copy. The tenderness with which Lamya H writes makes me ache from knowing.

Okay Chicago! Coming for you next. I’m doing a book talk on climate grief and transformation Tues. at 7:00 p.m., then tears and queer theology @garrettseminary Thurs. at noon!

Come talk about crying with me and let’s build a gentler world ❤️❤️❤️ Signed copies available.

Talk about everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes. Feminist men, a word: learn to do all those things and DO them. Take the notes. Organize the group gift. Keep track of birthdays. Take the lunch order and call it in. DO a feminism, don’t just say it.

Translation: Our economic system is designed to ensure there is no time to appreciate the world around us.

'It is no accident that if you lay the map of slavery in jurisdictional conferences on top of the ones that won’t welcome LGBTQIA+ persons, they overlap.”

'When people take away or distort other people's history, they make monsters of those people.' - Tiq Milan Middle Church

Trans siblings are not new. For millennia, folks have lived beyond a binary, wholly blessed and loved by God—created in the image of the One who made them.

✨ “Trans people are not new.” ✨

Thanks to Tiq Milan for a *beautiful* sermon Sunday Middle Church. Tell the history. Name the stories. Trans folks have a history, gender expansiveness is blessed, and ain’t going anywhere.

Sometimes Easter feels like peeking out from inside a tomb, and that’s okay too.

You are loved. Christ is risen. Jesus waits, dressed as a gardener, for as long as the tears still flow.

Hey Maine friends, come to Searsport Saturday April 6 for a beautiful talk about how tears give us greater clarity—even as they obscure our vision.

Dr. Aaron Rosen is a fabulous art critic and theologian, I couldn’t be more excited!

Let’s talk art, tears, and transformation ❤️

Need a beautiful conversation for your morning? 👇❤️🌈✨

What does it mean for queer people to claim spiritual authority and proclaim their own blessedness? How can religious professionals help folks work through religious trauma?

Explore this in a new conversation between Dr. Nolasco and Kevin Garcia 🪷 Spiritual Recovery Coach!

'Acts of charity should be a supplement to our city’s migrant response, not a substitute.'

I'm so glad Middle Church & others offer love to our newest neighbors. But the mayor must do more, instead of blaming migrants for our problems.

'Suggestions [by Mayor Eric Adams] that New York City stop offering sanctuary represent utter cowardice in a moment that calls for leadership.' - Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis

Hey NYC, headed your way next! Preaching this Sunday LAPCBrooklyn, followed by a talk about tears, scars, and resurrection. Big thanks to Greenlight Bookstore for cohosting!

So excited to talk about crying, come get weepy with us! ❤️💧✨

Christian Nationalism is looking at Jesus’ three temptations and thinking he made the wrong choices.

Queer theology celebrates queer people, in all of who we are.

I don't want to be 'affirmed.' I want to be welcomed & embraced—shaped by community and invited to shape it in return.

Queer people are not something distasteful, to be let in through the side door. We are holy, too.
