I feel like I can say this now but I set one of my villagers to call me Mtr. Erin like, junior year of seminary and felt sooooo weird about it but was trying to get used to it? And now it’s like wow Audie I did not know you go to my church.

I used to not enjoy drinking pumpkin spice lattes, but over the years I got so sick of men on the internet using them as a form of misogynist shorthand to joke about women being intellectually and culturally inferior that I taught myself to enjoy them out of pure spite. now I drink them all the time

Gas prices typically decline this time of year, but higher crude oil prices and uncertainty in the global oil market continue to put upward pressure on gas prices at the pump. #Hawaiigasprices #painatthepump

Politicians gotta represent a lot of people and sometimes that means they're going to be nice to your neighbor, who sucks.

Succeeding instead of picking fights everywhere is viewed as less honorable when you value the appearance of Doing Things over the slow work of actually doing things. And of course this is present as a tendency in all ideologies... the American left is new in this form, we have growing pains to come

The modern (I guess US?) problem of calling a doctor's office only to get 17 different screened options, none of which I'm confident actually go to a human being, makes it VERY difficult to trust that my doctors are doing anything...

This was a really nuanced an interesting article! But it also spurred me to think more deeply about “selling panic” in other contexts. Which of course nearest and dearest is the “death of the church” discourse. And how so much of this same problem paralyzes people.

My take on the Andy Burnham speech is that my 14yo daughter saw a bit of it on TikTok & then asked to watch the whole thing with me. She told me afterward that the hopefulness of it almost feels miraculous to her because her whole life the people in charge have been purposely making everything worse

Reflecting on the readings for the feast of St Michael and All Angels, I think we're sleeping on 'mortal' as an ominous and gender neutral for of address, as in 'mortal, this is a Wendy's'

A joy of supply work is being handed liturgies you don't control, and just having to go with the flow (this is spiritual growth, right?) A part of that is figuring out how to preach a St. Francis Animal Blessing sermon that isn't like "you guys know we're not rubrically allowed to do this, right?"

I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

I really believe providing alternate spaces for a different vision of accountability is a central calling of the church and essential to proclaiming the gospel (but I guess everyone knows I believe that)

I have lots of thoughts here but probably the most pertinent is to say that the way we treat abusers as monsters (through registries, hyper-punishment etc) and the way we let powerful men off the hook are two sides of the same problem

But I don't know anything about tapes or digitisation or anything like that. I don't even know how I would play this. I don't even know if it's still in good enough condition to play. So my question is... How? How do I take these two tapes, this two part performance, and make the choir live again?

Urban ministry is sharing with your parishioners grousing about how unreliable the transit system is but following up with “actually it’s one of the best, glad I don’t live in X other city” and then “but seriously why don’t they fund this thing?”
