Abolish the death penalty.
Text:
The Episcopal Church has opposed the death penalty since at least 1958. In 1979, the 66th General Convention reaffirmed this position, calling on dioceses and members of the Church to work actively toward abolishing the death penalty in their states.

I need the AI slop flyer aesthetic to die in a fire. It actually hurts my eyes, and it’s everywhere.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

I’m at clergy retreat, and we’re doing karaoke, which could’ve been a disaster but it’s great. Stephanie Spellers doing “Welcome to the Jungle” with the bishop on air guitar. ⚓️

Y’all, I went for a hike this afternoon and temporarily lost the trail in the woods and thought I was going to be hopelessly lost all of two miles from the retreat center.

People are also upset about non-economic things that get expressed in economic terms, like the fact that everything seems wildly out of control and we have a maniac in charge of the country

Last Friday, the church got a (years in the making) junk haulaway, and, y'all, the psychic energy it has freed up in so many of our spaces is incredible. It feels so good. There's so much possibility! ⚓

So cool that clergy "retreat" sends my body into overdrive based on traumatic things that previously happened in and around it.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Really upset that the Nashville Symphony has suspended its season and furloughed its workers. Like, how does that happen? How does it get that bad?

I have literally seen dudes tailspin because of a super-casual "Pretty rapey/racist/weird/etc., dude." from a friend. Fuck some girl/brown person and their dumb opinions, they don't care about us. But they are 100% not prepared to hear it coming from you.

As someone who oversees some of the ethical and spiritual formation of teenaged boys, this Cornell thing is making me think about helping them practice responses to stuff like receiving a message that says, "Free p***y upstairs." Or "how to respond when your bro says/does something rapey."

A thing that sucks about living in the Bay Area and primarily using public transit is that every year or so, it's like, "FUNDING IS RUNNING OUT AND ALL THE TRANSIT IS GOING BYE-BYE." Meanwhile, every bus and train I got on this past weekend was completely full.

Saw the picture of all the female bishops at the House of Bishops meeting w a female Archbishop of Canterbury and immediately thought of my dear former parishioner who, as a layperson, advocated for women’s roles in the church.

Reporting from the front lines of Trader Joe’s seasonal items: the pre-mixed pumpkin spice espresso martini is pretty decent. Not too sweet. Very strong on the spice notes where I’d prefer a bit more coffee flavor.

It’s really stunning how the USA has so swiftly shifted from being one of the most techno-optimistic and tech-industry-loving countries on earth, to a country where most people seem to assume - not incorrectly, at least in many cases - that tech is out to get them.
