Happy birthday, #RubyBridges! Thank you. 🖤

I cannot believe people pay more than $15 for newborn outfits. Your baby will poop on that, ma’am?!

Maybe I'm being idealistic, but what if there was a whole community of people authentically dedicated to healing and resourcing the survivors/victims? What if we learned to see that toxicity from a mile away? What if we weaned ourselves off from deferring to holy powerful ppl? 4/

What if we became attuned to seeking joy and healthy spiritual leaders with appropriate boundaries? What if we all took ownership of our own spiritual lives instead of depending on powerful men to own them? 5/

Lynching scholar here. Don’t watch the lynching. It shapes and forms you. We know that police violence is an inevitable and brutal element of the system. Yes, it is evil. Invest your time in the material and political support of your neighbor as resistance. Eat. Sleep. Love.

I am so tired of waiting, Aren't you, For the world to become good And beautiful and kind? Let us take a knife And cut the world in two- And see what worms are eating At the rind. - Langston Hughes #TyreNichols

I never want to become numb to the absurdity of death and injustice. Even if I’m not surprised by the systems that perpetuate it, I don’t want to get used to it. I don't want to not feel angst or be moved.

Celebrate International Women's Day today by ordering a copy of #FeministPrayersForMyDaughter for a woman or girl in your life! Find the words to hold her in prayer in a way that honors feminine spirituality. @shannonkayevans @bethallisonbarr

I've always found it strange that evangelical Christian parents think that their children having a faith in Jesus is either a) their sole responsibility and/or b) to their credit. It's neither. If I could release people from both, I would.

Back at it.

As Christians, we demand that the U.S. government use its considerable power to advocate for a cease-fire by Israel in Gaza. act.sojo.net/page/59253/pet…

You know what's gross? Women get addressed by Miss, Mrs., or Ms. because society deems it important to know if she is single, married or widowed. Men, on the other hand, are only addressed as Mr. because their relationship to women does not affect their social status.

Every time we tie God’s name to violence or national pride, we twist the Gospel into something Jesus Himself would never recognize.
