Sabbath sign out: a leftover sandwich and some advanced reading. Aren’t we all leftovers though? Some of us put on more airs to fancy ourselves up, but we’re all just mud and spit with a little bit of Breath. I do it too. But tonight I’m breaking, human and resting. Laying down the heavy load. Rest.

Someone sent me a work email addressed, “Dear Laura ( if I may),” You may not. My white, male colleagues in Christ, no. Stop. Do not email asking me to do things with a level of informality like you know me on the FIRST TRY. You do not. Sincerely, Rev. Everett Executive Director

Praying today with Judges 5- let us pray 🙏: “I will make melody to the Lord.” Have we forgotten to sing songs of Your victories, O God? Deborah & Barak sing out of Your mighty works. How alive I felt at those concerts! Scripture here as protest songs, but we have forgotten the tune. Get me singing.

I dunno, fam. Maybe a clerical “digital twin” could do more administrative work so I could do more pastoral? But I just got called into the hospital do anointing of the sick before death, and no bot can put their own hand on the flesh of dying. I’m tired but this is the real life worth living.

And yet major venues continue to book him, and studio execs cast him, so y’all gonna stop him or? “The BBC has counted more than 120 separate allegations made online relating to his behaviour towards women, some of them historical.”

Fam. I’m watching Trinity’s boyfriend Ben Shelton play tennis in Washington DC, and I SWEAR that White Castle is sponsoring a tennis tournament! Genius! But, turns out they just have knuckleheads in branding and Kastle is some surveillance system. 😂👀🤖🍔

The temperature dropped but it’s still cold noodle season 🙌🏽

This story is complex, and well done. On AI, Black Church, innovation, and what is expected of 24 hr available clergy. I’m not sure I’d make the same choices, but I can appreciate why he’s making them. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/u...

Today, in my morning prayer time, the lectionary served up Jael, who DRIVES A TENT PEG through the temple of her enemy. #KeepTheBibleWeird #KeepWomenBiblicalLikeJael

Praying today with Judges 4- let us pray 🙏: Lord, I have follow up questions? I appreciate so many women in this passage, Deborah the judge and Jael, the defender, but where is the good news? Deborah says to Barak, “the road you are on will not lead to glory.” Is my road? Get me back on it today.

This game is chaos, but I need to go to bed. Rest well, y’all. Make good decisions. Don’t play out the back.

I suspect strongly that headers will be banned in my lifetime from fútbol. The repeated head to head contact is going to show too much damage to kids’ brains, and then later adults.

KC 5-0, poor Raaahcingn #NWSL (Hey Boston isn’t losing, Baby!! )

I want replacement parts. We can only get a 3/4th sized fridge (weep with me) up our Boston triple decker stairs and had to emergency purchase during covid. Our fridge is plastic crap. I don’t want a smart fridge. I want replacement parts and no surveillance.

I took today off as a sick day. Behold, the sick dog who accompanied my summer cold.

There once was a beef on Nantucket. We off islanders said, Oh go f-it. ““Nantucket does not chase. She lures.” This story is exactly as insufferable as you think it will be. And that’s before you know who shows up. Bless. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/29/a...

Bad news: TPS formally ends tomorrow, and Massachusetts is up the Charles with very few paddles. Good-ish news: 100+ religious leaders were on a call tonight to pray, organize and learn how to protect our kin. I don’t know what will happen next, but I believe in us together.

NGL I 100% read this to find out where the funeral was (National cathedral, obvs) and it failed to Tell Me who was presiding. Reporters these days! Where the good clergy gossip when I need it?

And they will tell you, then and now, women should just stay at our looms and weave.

Thanks to INTERFAITH ORGANIZING 🙌🏽
