Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Huge Nolan fan. I started to suspect the Borden twist. But Angier? What a payoff. The whole movie. Its structure was pure brilliance (to me). When Nolan gets the balance right between his narrative structure, the jumps in time, and the moments of foreshadowing, I’m sure there’s anything better. 120

Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026A live-streamed execution will be the “lethal” shock, the final permission gate. Many will joyfully cross the threshold. 000
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Every day under this regime is a societal Milgram test. Instead of administering electric shocks, we’re asked to accept increasing levels of xenophobic hatred as our neighbors are disappeared, deported, confined, shot. 100
Reposted by ZachA.R. Moxon @juliusgoat.bsky.social · 09/10/2026They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission. 11150011484
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 09/10/2026The Handmaid’s Tale remains one of the most prescient works of the last 50 years. Atwood foresaw everything this regime would become: its religious extremism, its subjugation of women and ethnic and gender minorities, its worship of violent spectacle, its bloodlust. 010

Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Best to stand in solidarity with the would-be discarded than to sell another human out for a few pieces of silver. Almost sounds biblical if you think about it. 010
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026May it be a lesson to us all to have the courage of our convictions. To refuse the terms offered: that we can have peace if we will only sacrifice some portion of us. A party, a church, a religion that believes some lives are inherently unworthy will never be satisfied. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I have not been a part of that parish in a very long time. And yet that community at its best was one of the most formative in my entire life. It still influences me. And it’s still hard to see the same decisions being made all these years later. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I believe redemption is possible. I will always hold out hope for that. But reform at a denominational level? No. I don’t believe that’s possible anymore. I do not think there is middle ground to find between those, eg, who believe trans people should live a full dignified life and those who don’t. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026And the victims in all this will be the people whose very lives and bodies will be used as negotiating terms. Lives to be discarded as needed to achieve something resembling theological and ecclesiological “peace.” And again, this gambit isn’t just in the ACNA, it’s in our politics. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I have dear friends (and clergy) at my former parish who think they can still reform things. Who think what is needed is just a longer time horizon. I’m of the belief that the break is complete. That the conservative leadership will demand compromise after compromise while offering nothing. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026They somehow believe that the movement committed to human sacrifice will suddenly have its fill. That if you compromise on trans folks being able to use the bathroom you’ll be spared the right to let trans kids play sports. That if you feed more immigrants to ICE, DREAMERs can stay. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026It’s another betrayal. And a foolish one. No concession will satiate MAGA’s appetite for devouring other humans—not in religious spaces and certainly not in political ones. And yet so many believe this is still the path: to throw queer folks into the MAGA maw, immigrants, POC, and women, too. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The ACNA knives came out. Not just questioning this person’s views on LGBTQ+ belonging but also the audacity to support women’s ordination (yes still a thing in certain Christian spaces in 2026, amaze, amaze, amaze). And what did this leader do? Walk back their stance on LGBTQ+ inclusion. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I resigned that night. I’m thinking of all of this because one of the leaders from the parish that launched ours has been nominated for bishop suffragan (like an asst. bishop). Past comments about welcoming and baptizing and offering full membership to queer folks have come to light. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026The quote that remains with me from that conversation is: “Zach, you can choose to believe in the God of the bible, or the false god of your imagination.” I was furious. I was gutted. It was the direct questioning of everything I believed. It’s a fraction of what my LGBTQ+ friends experienced. 100
Zach @zachlj.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I thought that if I stayed I would have the chance to plant my own affirming parish with a likeminded community. My views were known to leadership. And then I was asked to speak with our Canon for Ordination. What I thought was just an informal check-in was a formal intervention. 100
