oh I see! I thought you might live in a part of the country that didn't have them?

My US church has bats. There were so many in the actual belfry at one point that they made some bank selling the guano. Also, dangerous to imply lack of bats in the US as they are primary spreaders of rabies.

I am now in acute need of a cartoon broccoli carrying a processional cross.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 29/09/2026

how did I not see that! (I mean, maybe because I was 23 before I encountered veggie tales?)

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 28/09/2026

I hear this so hard. I'm sorry you're hearing it from a harder place. But yeah. I literally just said tonight that the reason I don't work harder to do what other people want me to do is that I'm SO BAD AT IT. I'm far more likely to get a WTF reaction when *I* think I'm doing the expected thing!

apparently past me didn't retain that part so good.

Well, it's fortunate that I like my house, because unfortunately I'm never ever ever leaving it again. e v e r.

I mean, if anyone has a good cartoon crucifer, I have a use for it!

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 28/09/2026

Oh Canva. I type in "Crucifer" (since "person with cross" didn't help) and I got broccoli. Also cabbage. ⚓

We join Bishop Matthew Heyd in standing with the Reverend Flourish Klink, in gratitude for their witness. Thank you for proclaiming the Good News and for being a beacon of courage and hope, Fr. Flouish, and thank you for vocally standing with them and all of us, Bishop Heyd. ⚓️

Our trans siblings are completely beloved by God. They belong in this Church in the altar and in the pew.

I ordained the Rev. Flourish Klink. They are a faithful priest and gifted pastor. I am proud to serve alongside them.

Their voice is important. When one of us is singled out, we stand together. That is what the Body of Christ does.

We meet Christ in one another.

I don't even know where I would put such a phrase, as "profile" just means a different thing than it ever did now, but I want a place to say: "Into 12th century pop music."

I could name 6 people in a co-housing development who, if they were in discernment, would sounds exactly like this. Agree? @elizabethmaemagill.bsky.social

Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Although you know the snow will follow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, Without a hurt the heart is hollow. Deep in December, it's nice to remember, The fire of September that made us mellow. Deep in December, our hearts should remember And follow.

it's one of the most challenging practices of my life. I invest a lot of emotion and memory in things.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 14/09/2026

You know, I know a lot of people who will say they only like low, and then come the excepts: Oh, but I *do* really love incense, or I do love the vestments, I really like a sung service... (Also I SWEAR there are too many people who do not know Rite 2 can be sung too!!)

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 14/09/2026

Completely (mostly) kidding recruitment pitch: My community really needs: a garden enthusiast, a carpenter, a more-talented-than-me sew-er, another soprano, and a power-lifter. Now if these could line up with whom the Holy Spirit moves, that would be very convenient thank you very much. ⚓

This morning I woke up and my brain was fixed on embroidery samplers. I could see a needle pulling thread spelling words. BUY MY BRAIN told me: oh right, that's how they wrote letters back then! I literally retconned pen and ink out of existence, and jumped from SEWING letters straight to email.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 12/09/2026

I've been trying to explain to people what weird things my brain does when trying to transition from sleep to wake. It tells really weird lies. Not anxiety lies, just untruths. But usually by the time I wake enough to remember, it's all fuzzy and gone and I can't explain it. BUT this morning! 1/2

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 09/09/2026

I wonder if the voluntary-ness of participation will skew away from "comfortable we're fine" maintenance parish? I can imagine they'd be the least interested in filing out your study! (so curious if my last or my current church did!)

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 09/09/2026

oh I proposed and they assented! starting doing strategery!

110

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 09/09/2026

quoted #2 in Vestry tonight. just as a "future discussion" agenda item. proposed spending intentional time next Vestry meeting in discussion on "what is strategic thinking, and how do we undertake it?" figured that might be a doable first step.

Cooking from pantry/fridge/freezer without shopping... is a qualitative type of combinatorics. Yes? No? Making nonsense?

My new job uses M&T (CT, not MA) and to add me to the account we needed to update all the IDs of everyone on the account, but we did not have to be there in person.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 05/09/2026

Whereas, whether it's "me" or "them" I don't know but middle age (and perhaps in context, vow of celibacy?) seems to have made my gender irrelevant (invisible?) to most people, which is just the way I like it.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 05/09/2026

I had some of this experience living in China, but I wasn't enmeshed enough in society to have a lot of effects. Language barrier is a thing. Otoh, I have never, once, ever been read as a woman in the UK. I am apparently the flower of British manhood!

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 04/09/2026

You're probably not wrong! But it's not like it's a rare phenomenon now. And like the sad fate of "literally" I wish people thought through how permanently showing word meanings changes language, and when we lose a meaning entirely, it's impoverishing. Which doesn't mean all catachresis is wrong!

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 04/09/2026

Oh to be sure, not high and mighty at all. I just have one cup of coffee/day and make it at home. My office also has good coffee if I need a supplement. I'm a homebody, and a cook. Food, in general, is a home thing for me. If my life were again "office building with a sbks in the lobby"? no telling.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 04/09/2026

I was going to ask you to elaborate, but the first comment illustrated it perfectly.

010

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 04/09/2026

It seems to me that if more people could articulate "I dislike that catachrestic usage" (and why) instead of "you're using that word wrong" we'd have much better usage debates. #language

To be clear, this is not me saying Paul is right about absolutely everything, but what strikes me about this is he does not at all seem to be trying to Make a Point. He's not like BEHOLD PHOEBE OF THE GREAT DIACONATE! He's just like, oh hey, this is Deacon Phoebe, she's mad cool, chill with her.

I do not know, but suddenly I haz a covet. Assigning myself appropriate penance?

my semester in China taught me that. 12hrs reverse of EST. 7-9 am or pm were the sweet spots.

Says anyone who grew up in a major metropolis: huh? A very stupid question once asked, ostensibly in an antiracism seminar: when did you first meet someone not of your race. A) I grew up in New York City. B) My mother and father are not the same race as each other so... birth I guess?

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 02/09/2026

Without arguing against safe church, I do note that teenagers have been babysitting since time immemorial and now there's all those fancy babysitting courses you can take. It's sad to me that they can't do that in church events.

Mtr. Marta @phdeviate.havenreligious.org · 02/09/2026

Wellllll, we don't have it on Sunday either. And we're just hovering around that 60 person line. I'd say there's an even chance of being over it under any given week. So it's probably time to try to start that again!

We've got 1 & 3 pretty solid! 2 seems solidly achievable. 4... The classic "how do you plan for kids when you have no kids, but why would people bring kids with no kidcare?"

oh wait! I've seen Arlo Guthrie twice. But the second time was solo. the 40th anniversary Alice's restaurant tour.

Body type matters. If I don't put it a bit low, it will creep up until it's on my ribcage just under my boobs, which ain't great either.
