Yes—I too have repeatedly found myself confounded by the gap between the values the church teaches and the principles by which its polity is conducted

This is the hardest I have ever vibed with an online opinion

It’s like listening to a preacher who hasn’t read anything more recent than Ray Brown tackle the historicity of Jesus

Better incorporating book history into education probably won’t save the world, but I do think it would improve a lot of things, including that I won’t have to read the dumbest possible takes on “wowowew book as object? Do collectors even care about book the right way?” once a month anymore. Maybe.

I’m not even tired of the conversation! I’m just tired of pretending people are saying anything new

love when people get caught using LLMs for some important analytical task "to save time" and then they're like "don't worry we rigorously vetted the results." man....you either saved time OR rigorously vetted the results, but i promise you didn't do both

When I was figuring my gender stuff out, I realized that it was important to me to be able to look my kids in the eye when I said stuff like, "I want to help you be the best and truest version of yourself that you can be."

8 is probably a little early for Brave New World I guess

I’m still staggered by my Title IV training in seminary, whose barely-covert theme was “here’s how we use the power of the institution to protect priests from having systems of accountability weaponized against them.” But having since seen T4 be weaponized against queer clergy especially…I get it

I think this gets to one of the difficult aspects of this issue—clergy and laypeople in TEC often share a powerful but buried *felt* sense of powerlessness and helplessness in the face of victimization by the other. I suspect much of this is simply our shared sense of change and decline.

I will reiterate: Christians in the West evangelize in public for the same reason men catcall. Neither is trying to persuade you; both are reminding you that the public sphere belongs to them and you exist in it at their sufferance.

The beautiful thing about the internet is how people go out of their way to let you know *exactly* who they are

I mean I haven’t actually seen one I just assume

Inside me there are two wolves (the one who successfully protects my peace vs the petty bitch who loves drama) and they are FIGHTING now

Oh someone definitely has

Many people are asking this!!!

I love all of this so much

Feeling intense nostalgia for the road trips, and cars, of my youth

True story. Back in 2000 after the release of "o brother where art thou" @professormortis.bsky.social and i spent an entire evening imagining a "can't hardly wait" style teen drama of the odyssey based on getting home from Ithaca to Troy (NY) to a party

This would go so hard
