I feel crazy thinking about all the talks I got as an ‘80s teen playing D&D, with urban legends of murders, suicides, and human sacrifice, while 40 years later the purported high point of tech innovation is a real-life murder-suicide incitement machine, and it’s just..fine.

you’ve had a hard year when something called a “hellpsalm” helps put rare feelings into words quite well but absolutely the high point this year — other than graduating from seminary — was getting this signed.

thanks, Pádraig. thank you, also, Mother Brendan.
The title page for “Kitchen Hymns” by Pádraig Ó Tuama with blue ink slashed through the poet’s name. Below, he personalized the page with the words “To Ez, in praise of you. Pádraig.” Beneath the signature, there’s the Copper Canyon Press logo, with the name of the press and its location (Port Townsend, Washington) printed below.

A still from season five, episode two of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” (“The Gang Hits the Road”), in which Mac reminds Charlie while at the Italian Market of the nature of suffering with the admonishment: “Everybody’s afflicted, bitch. Let’s get you some fruit.”

If you’re aiming to read more in 2026 and are local to Hyde Park/want to join us virtually, come on out for my church’s Theology & Justice reading group! We’re reading some fiction and practical theology in the first three months and taking further recommendations. Holler if you have questions!
A soft blue graphic with the heading “Theology & Justice Reading Group.” Below, text details the date, time, location, and RSVP details. The text reads: Second Sundays of the Month. Noon. After coffee hour. Then, below, the location is listed: Hyde Park Union Church, 5600 S Woodlawn Ave, Chicago, IL 60615. Below the location, the selected titles are listed. First, the reading group is taking on “Pew” by Catherine Lacey and will have the conversation on Zoom and at the church on February 8th. Next, the group will read “Confronting Islamophobia in the Church” by Anna Piela and Michael Woolf with the conversation happening on March 8th. A blurb off to the right reads: “Check the link in our bio to read about our event with Revs. Piela & Woolf and the Seminary Co-op!” The third title is “Trauma and Grace: Theology in a Ruptured World” by Serene Jones, and we’ll discuss it on April 12th. Below the titles, there’s the church’s logo (a colorful rendering of a rose window) and a link to RSVP: tinyurl.com/readinggrouphpuc

yes I’m happy to clarify. when I do it it’s called discourse. when you do it it’s running off at the mouth all wild style and whatnot. these are just technical terms

man asks you for a book recommendation that can get him rich overnight. you show him where you keep the Kropotkin. he sings you the most beautiful song his mentor wrote about Jesus Christ in Bengali. you are now both crying in the critical theory section.

watching an evangelical from undergrad try to perform some hermeneutical backflip in critique of nativities maintained by folks i know from seminary reminds me that they don’t know how to read the Bible, really, but the ones who kind of do are still. racist about it.

liturgical treat for a merry crisis

(cookie by me, eggnog recipe by rev. dr. david gregg).
Ez, a European American person, holds a frosted sugar cookie in their hand decorated with an Advent wreath and a red A. Beside the cookie is a small jar of eggnog. There are more heaps of these cookies in tupperware and tinfoil in the background of this image. These took forever.

you liked the new knives out and what it had to say about power, accountability, and dysfunctional congregational bodies? you appreciated a new addition to the Hot Priest Cinematic Universe?

Jesus Had Adverse Childhood Experiences, Too
“It is profoundly significant that Jesus was born not in a secure, two-income household but to an unwed teenage mother.”

In a second example of local police securing a path for Bovino's caravan today, Evanston cops just assisted with the feds' departure by blocking and directing traffic.
