Psychotherapy is a boundaried relationship that enables a boundless conversation.

I am utterly convinced that God will have all kinds of grace if we got the theology wrong. I’m not entirely sure about how God will take it if we got the loving other people, seeking justice, and choosing mercy part of life wrong.

In bed with the flu; took the time to set up a profile over at Mastodon (@[email protected]). It felt a bit overwhelming, but there's lots of good articles out there to lead you through it. Thoughts so far: Twitter=PE class (take what's thrown at you) Mastodon=Study hall (choose your book)

the blueprint for freedom is hidden in so many places, when you go back and check your notes over the years then you realize you were trying to chart a way to get free all along. what is that if not optimism & resistance? struggle is hidden in minor acts for safekeeping.

Thinking how hard Halloween must have been for parents who had a kid die this past year. Often in grief therapy we remember the major holidays, anniversaries, birthdays. But if you went out trick or treating with a kid last year who isn't here this year - may you be comforted.

Introducing the Dorothy Day Staten Island Ferry!

Dorothy Day has been called many things, including a saint. Perhaps it would have suited her best to add her name to a new Staten Island Ferry. Commissioned today, with Martha Hennessy speaking and christening with champagne.

Not unlike the Desert Mothers and Fathers who wandered away seeking for something deeper than a state religion.

i don’t want a tough love—i want an understanding love. i want a balanced love. i want an open love. i want a nurturing love. i want a nourishing love. i want an expansive love. i want a fluid love. i want a harmonious love. i want a safe love. i want all the love.

Watched God Forbid on Hulu last night. Lol. Satan: “I offer dominion over all earthly kingdoms!” Jesus: “No thanks.” Jerry Falwell Jr.: “Hold my tequila!”

Don't vote for people who mischaracterize gender-affirming healthcare as "mutilating children."

Powerful! 12:16 am in Tehran. People on the streets near Dey Hospital honk & shout the name of imprisoned activist #HosseinRonaghi. He was transferred from Evin after his condition worsened. Many are concerned that his life is in danger.#MahsaAmini #حسین_رونقی #IranRevoIution

@andrewtwalk My brother in Christ… The name of the institution that currently pays you (according to your own bio) is quite literally an ode to a time a bunch of Christians let the secular thinking of racialized slavery split the Church. Maybe more humility is called for here.

Killing us won’t make your gay son straight.

Ideas have consequences. Racism leads to dead people. Misogyny leads to dead women. Homophobia leads to dead gay people. Transphobia leads to dead trans people. Antisemitism leads to dead Jews. Islamophobia leads to dead Muslims. We must do better.

To those who lost loved ones, those who lost their lives, and to those in the grip of sorrow and fear because of this recent horrific violence at Club Q, the Upaya's Mahasangha offers our collective love, support, and care. Like millions in our country and around the world,

A #queer saint for #Thanksgiving: Richard Sibbes was a 17th-century Puritan who never married, nurtured close male friendships, wore fancy lace clothing and preached a rather queer theology. #faithfullyLGBTQ qspirit.net/richard-sibbes…

I just had my first toot go viral on #Mastodon. It was about public libraries. PUBLIC LIBRARIES y'all. That's how civil that place is. #MastodonMonday

The SBC was founded by white supremacists less than 200 years ago. For most of the 20th century they fought desegregation, and called interracial marriage an abomination. Their spirituality, their ethics, their culture are founded on anti-biblical values. No surprise here.

If you don’t approve of or believe in gay marriage, you could always just… not get married to someone of the same sex? I got married once. It was almost 10 years ago, so my my memory is shaky, but I feel like I got to pick who it was? Maybe it’s different for y’all now?
