“When the motif of oppression appears in the Bible, one can be assured that God will take up the cause of the oppressed.”

Here’s my image of Ash Wednesday: If our lives were a long piece of  fabric with our baptism on one end and our funeral on another, and we don’t know the distance between the two, then Ash Wednesday is a time when that fabric is pinched in the middle and the ends are held up so that our baptism in the past and our funeral in the future meet. The water and words from our baptism plus the earth and words from our funerals have come from the past and future to meet us in the present. And in that meeting we are reminded of the promises of  God: That we are God’s, that there is no sin, no darkness, and yes, no grave that God will not come to find us in and love us back to life.

i have an honestly life-changing class this semester called “the bible and the construction of history.” really fascinating stuff. i’m learning to read the bible in a completely different light, and the concept of constructing history is doing wonders for my skill as a historian, too.

i’m working on an essay right now about genesis 1 and... i love it

A photo of an altar with candles, a notebook, some crystals and other materials on it with this text printed over the photo:

“Call for trans people’s stories for a special episode of the Blessed Are the Binary Breakers podcast on personal worship and sacred spaces”

Then three squares with papyrus-colored backgrounds and brown text read:

“This is an interfaith podcast – trans persons  from any (or no) religious background are welcome to share their stories! The goal for this episode isto showcase the richnessof many trans persons’ spiritual lives.

If you  - are trans and/or nonbinary; - have spiritual practices or sacred spaces that are meaningful to you; - are willing to share those stories on a podcast 

Contact me on social media or at [email protected].

What I’ll need from you: either a written transcript that I can read on your behalf, or an audio or video file of you speaking your own story (preferably no more than 8 or so minutes long). 

Questions you might explore: 

- What is your personal prayer life / spiritual life like? Does it come easily? Are there challenges? - Describe any specific practices if you want. - To whom or what do you pray / communicate, and what for? - What spaces are sacred to you and why? - What does “sacred” mean to you? - Does your transness interact with your spiritual life in any way? (positively, negatively, neutrally, whatever!)

Along with this text, the first two squares have these images on them: a prayer wheel, a tallit (Jewish prayer shawl), four tarot cards, a rosary, an Islamic prayer rug, and a line of lit candles with white flowers and four stacked rocks.

Ok but Jesus or God or whoever tf it was (I haven’t read the Bible in about 6 years, don’t come @ me Jesus fandom) really fucked up with the commandment “love thy neighbour as thyself”. Like,, bitch, there’s not a single person on earth who hates me more than I hate myself. Do you want me to fuckin hate everyone I come in contact with?? Is that waht you want, my dude???? Because if so I’m doing an absolute wonderful job, 10/10, 5 star review on motherfukcing trip advisor
