@mtrkdjoyce I don't see anyone but myself when I click "following " Does it only show mutuals or people in your own instance or something?

Over the weekend I did the final three weeks of reading for my self directed study so that I could focus on my final project this week... so of course I would get sick and feel completely exhausted and unable to work on the project. #seminary

Coal miners in Alabama have been on strike for 600 days today, and it's thanks to the women—wives, mothers, daughters, retired miners—that the striking UMWA miners have held out for so long. I wrote about these fierce granddaughters of Mother Jones for Jezebel: https://jezebel.com/alabama-coal-strike-women-families-1849812070

@axia it is my favorite season but my stint in TEC has ruined me on my the liturgical shit that I had previously learned to love

For the 4th of 5th year in a row I ain't feeling #Advent. Being in pastoral ministry in the Episcopal Church ruined the season for me tbh.

setting up new social media accounts like voldemort creating horcruxes: one going away won't do me in you'll have to destroy them all if you want to be rid of me for good

@jdewveall Hell yeah! Would love to hear what you think!

@scottdhendricks most of our ecological praxis has been rooted in trying to preserve/conserve and it has been mostly ineffective against capitalism and its fruit of ecological destruction. I believe that we have to move toward the work of activity dismantling these systems rather than depending on mere eco-reform and “green” legislation.

@sortareligious I’m so glad you posted this because I forgot I had a meeting with a directee early this morning! 😅

@NotBishopNotPriestNotDeacon Direct messages are not "private" on here from what I understand.

@jdewveall I’ve read the whole series twice and the first book like 4 times now I think? I love all of Vandermeer’s stuff tbh. It has heavily influenced my game design writing.

@jdewveall @keegan @tdburnette dope! I will check out this instance!

I think that “Authority” has become my favorite book in the Southern Reach Trilogy and I’m not sure what to think about it. #fiction #sciencefiction #book #clifi #scifi #AreaX #JeffVandermeer

I have no issues with toot.community, but I’m just realizing they have a CW rule that I think I’ve violated the whole time I was here:

“Add a Content Warning (CW) to any toots that may hurt or trigger people like religion, gore, spoilers, or sensitive topics.”

So I’m looking for a server option to move over to that has rules against things like hate speech, and such but doesn’t require the type of CW on posts about “religion.”

Recommendations?

@erinjeanwarde this is the way

@NotBishopNotPriestNotDeacon I’ll have to check it out

On Transgender Day of Remembrance we awake to news of a deadly shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs.

As we read the Crucifixion Story this day of Christ the King... let us not forget who the world is crucifying today. We will be with God in Paradise.

@M_U cool

I frequently want to yell at fellow pentecostal's talking about "Spirit of THIS" and "Spirit of THAT" while their whole damn church is racist and homophobic.

Like, Pastor you need to stop the theatrics and start worrying about that Spirit of White supremacy you got.
