I cannot believe that American Girl has the AUDACITY to make a 90s doll and put it in the -historical- section of their collection - the inflatable furniture and mini care and keeping of you book just KILL me 🤣

there is a literal bird flying around clergy session - it was not in fact a metaphor for the Holy Spirit 🤣 #vaumc24

just your friendly COSROW chair popping on to say that this panel could use a female… 👀 #vaumc24

God would obviously be a miniature dachshund #vaumc24

‘In order to give someone else a voice, you have to shut up’ - a good word for #vaumc24

if you want some good -inclusive- resources, go check our COSROW’s table in the banquet hall! #vaumc24

waiting for my report, getting big Oz vibes #vaumc24

actual footage of me, as I delete the anti-patriarchy/anti-purity culture rant from Sunday’s sermon on Rahab and Joshua 2:

just casually did a gel manicure during a zoom meeting with my bishop. who have I become? 🫠✨
