ICYMI, fuck this noise. 🏳️‍⚧️
text block over a headline from them magazine with the headline “GOP Lawmakers, Including Nancy Mace, Say Trans People Should Be Institutionalized Following Charlie Kirk Death”: one has absolutely nothing to do with the other. fuck this. if you tend to agree with nancy here, chances are pretty astronomical that you know zero trans people. (or you do and don't know it because your righteous ignorance makes you an unsafe person to be honest with.) for the trans folks i know and love, their whole agenda is to be able to live their lives. in other words: they want to be themselves and go about their everyday damn business. that's it. how fucking dare you believe otherwise.

she is beauty
she is grace

the cover of the february 12-18, 2013 issue of the c-ville weekly. a couple is facing each other on a park bench, photographed from behind. there is a white heart outline around the couple’s heads and the headline below reads “Real life love” followed by “8 couples we can’t get enough of” and an ad below for university place.

it’s a wonder i can get anything done around here
a grid of fifteen photos (three columns, five rows) of an orange and white cat in various stages of sleeping, yawning, stretching and waking. in each picture, the cat has pink toebeans and is on a fuzzy seafoam green blanket with a yellow and white patterned pillow behind him.

🧵 i work, worship, and volunteer at tabor presbyterian church in crozet. we are small but mighty, working toward beloved community.

one of our missions is hosting unhoused women from PACEM in c’ville for two weeks during the cold months. we want tabor to be home, not just a place to stay.
WELCOME, PACEM WOMEN! Tabor will host PACEM women from February 22 through March 7 Each night that they are with us, Tabor will be home, and not just a place to sleep.

obviously not a priority with everything exploding around us, but if anyone local to charlottesville has seen ronzoni large elbows in the wild, please let me know where.

my next step is asking family in connecticut to ship some down. (imo this is the best pasta for homemade macaroni and cheese.) 🧀

i nuked my instagram account yesterday after a slow band-aid-peeling exit.

to celebrate being musk- and meta-free, i’ll occasionally be reposting some content from there over here.

i’m slowly making myself at home. here’s hoping nobody fucks this up too. 🤞

i see you, beloved. i am so glad you exist! i want you to thrive, to live fully as only you know how. you are gorgeously human, you are precious, and you are holy. being trans is natural and it is sacred. know this, beloved: you belong here.

since nobody asked, meet our three cats. 🐈✨

aimee (named after @aimeemann.bsky.social) is tiny, alpha, loves heating pads & has a voice like a creaky hinge; chloe loves hair elastics, forbidden surfaces & andy; and theo hamface is FIV+, loves his mama, pringles & having his teeth brushed. 🪥
a serious looking small torbie cat wrapped in light gray heating pad. she is on a magenta-purple fleece blanket with a round orange pillow and a square yellow & white pillow behind her. a black and white tabby cat is curled up atop a small cat tower lined with a red and green christmas plaid wooly cloth. the photo was taken while she was moving her mouth, so it looks like she’s realizing the horrors of existence. a plump orange and white tabby with no upper fangs and gorgeous big paws lying in a tan colored heated cat bed. the photo was taken mid-yawn so it looks like he’s smiling or laughing with his bottom fangs showing. there is a warm hardwood floor under the cat bed and a bright hot pink and navy rag rug in the background.

(trying this again since i forgot to add alt text. i’ll get the hang of this eventually.)

anyway, i just preordered mariann edgar budde’s book from bluebird & co. here in crozet. shop local, bezos can pound sand, etc.

we’re aiming to have a discussion group at tabor presbyterian, so stay tuned.
cover of book “how we learn to be brave: decisive moments in life and faith” by episcopal bishop of washington mariann edgar budde. it is light medium blue with dark blue and yellow print and a sunlike image on the bottom with variations of blues and yellows. the design is subtle and comforting.
