"THIS IS NOT NORMAL" -Reverend @raushenbush.bsky.social

Palisades and Eaton Fires Are Fully Contained The Palisades and Eaton fires, two of the deadliest and most destructive wildfires in California history, reached 100 percent containment more than three weeks after they began.

A little good news. Three weeks later.

To keep myself from losing it over the Daily Horrors I make lists of every little thing I need or want to do. The purpose isn’t to complete it, but to feel a sense of forward momentum instead of paralyzation.

Do Laundry.
Make Lunch.
Return Book.
Draw a Thing.
Take Pic of Ghost for Ma.

You're not overwhelmed. You're under attack.

“‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the [people whom you presume are or society treats as the] least of these [siblings] of mine, you did it to me.”
—JESUS, Matthew 25:40

Greater love hath no #husband than one who will voluntarily, while you’re on a church council zoom, iron your robe because you [finally] remembered to wash it and then let it wrinkle in the dryer for a day. Or two.

Welp. It’s finally happened.

Just got my first sales call from "PULPIT #AI."

Anyone else in #sanfrancisco feel that?? #earthquake or just tremors?

You don’t need a front-row seat to this political circus all the time.

Truth. That’s what I’m thankful for tonight, God. And bravery. For speaking one’s truth takes bravery. And speaking the truth about the emperor’s nakedness takes bravery. And speaking the truth about the love and joy and hope of the gospel takes bravery. On this day when my nation celebrates a prophetic truth-speaker and swears into office a profligate liar, I celebrate truth and bravery. Amen.

(2/2)

...or simply when you’re forced to pause to catch your breath. (That’s why we sing “#weshallovercome,” not simply “I” will overcome.)”

1/2 From Rev. Ken Sehested:

“Buckle up, sunshines. It's gonna be a rough ride. But keep singing: in your shower, or at the midnight hour, or when headlines make you glower. More importantly, though, join a choir, so the music continues when threats make you cower...

i know we’ll pull together and take care of each other. we’ll get through this.

saaaame

to quell the anxiety, @miggs70.bsky.social & i went dancing last night & today are trying to ignore all the news & impending EOs and focus on Rev. Dr. King; community service;
the pup & each other; some good Mexican food; & maybe a nap.

“tomorrow has enough problems of it’s own.”

A convicted felon did not place his hand on the Bible as he was sworn into the office of president of the United States of America.

This motherfucker has the audacity to recite Dr. Martin Luther King's "Let Freedom Ring" when trump's policies will probably erase that from American history books.

What a thoroughly disgusting event.
As awful as we thought it might be.

happy mlk day✊🏾

Image of a large statue of The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Prayer by Dr. Sharon R. Fennema: God of many gifts and one Spirit, We confess that sometimes it is easier to celebrate a single prophetic voice, than to honor the complex movements that give rise to freedom. When we lift up Martin Luther King, Jr. as a visionary and leader, and ignore that we have a part to play in making his dreams a reality, forgive us. Empower us to take up our roles in the movement toward racial justice. Amen.

🙏🏾 God,

When we lift up Martin Luther King, Jr. as a visionary and leader & ignore or disbelieve that we have a part to play in making his dreams a reality, forgive us.

-Dr. Sharon R. Fennema

One person, dog dead in multicar crash in S.F.’s SoMa neighborhood A person and dog died in San Francisco after a collision involving several vehicles, including a Waymo, on Sunday evening.

A person and dog were killed Sunday in a multicar crash at the intersection of Sixth and Harrison streets in San Francisco that mangled several vehicles, including a Waymo robotaxi.

Politico is reporting trans EOs will include trans people’s passports as well as ending a conversion therapy ban.

A poem for reflection, 01/20/24: "Let America Be America Again" by Langston Hughes. poets.org/poem/let-ame...

fml. we were walking the pup nearby when it happened and saw all the first responders, street closures, etc.

a grim reminder to stay off one’s cellular when walking the streets & pay attention!

Devastating.

I miss my fur-baby!

Oh and his daddy @miggs70.bsky.social, too!
