Lord,
Relax my hurried body.
Calm my busy mind.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.
Jenn, she/her, Baltimore City, and I’ve got nothing coming to my brain for last part of the question #SlateSpeak

As much as we'd like to imagine progress being made since the Civil Rights Movement (or since the Civil War, for that matter), we ignore reactionary elements at our peril. #tbt

Beloveds, #SlateSpeak is considering moving (or at the very least adapting) as Twitter becomes less and less of a stable place to host.
Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.

#DevastatingDevotion brings you: #WeirdChristianity. (And we mean 'weird' as a compliment!)
Every so often we'll switch from the devastating to the otherwise fascinating -- like how medieval Christian anchorites would start their ministry as though they were actively dying.

Throwback to the refreshingly honest writer, Charles Bukowski (1920-1994).

ALT An artistic background with the following quotation from Charles Bukowski: "We're all going to die, all of us! What a circus! That should make us love each other, but it doesn't."

The first Sunday in #Lent — Jesus is tempted by a vision of absolute power and domination, and he turns it down.

Words of harsh truth reverberating through the centuries.
(text: from Basil of Caesaria, 330-379, preaching on Luke 12:16-21 – "If you want storehouses, you have them in the stomachs of the poor.")
