[alfhildr-the-word-weaver]

The other night I had a dream that there was a hot new parody of the song Lump by Presidents of the United States of America. Tragically, I don't remember any of the parody lyrics beyond the chorus of "she's Lump, she's Lump, she's Lump" being replaced with "he's Trump, he's Trump, he's Trump".

#I know there's a lot of talk about people making dreams up just because they want to invent a meme but genuinely #I just woke up with that stuck in my head and vague memories of annoying my grandma with it in my dream #that said. feel free to get on this. just don't forget to credit ya girl Alfhildr! :) #what an appropriate band name too. I was just like‚ nice one subconscious! haha #ugh if I actually do make this a real meme though my grandma's gonna kill me. she's a pretty big Trump fan unfortunately #I don't think she knows I'm Alfhildr though... #anyways it's a darn catchy song #Lump #Presidents of the United States of America #in more than one sense #Donald Trump #listen there's a Bible verse about rejoicing in the downfall of the wicked is there not? #eh google is giving me mixed messages on that one actually #but I still remember our baptist minister quoting it and cheering when our town palm reader went out of business when I was a kid #feel a touch guilty posting this in case I do start something but I think it's justifiable perhaps #anyways. here you go internet. do what thou wilt with that #parody songs #political satire #dreams #memes from dreams #genuinely feel like this could start something and I both do and don't want the credit #I'm currently living in my grandma's basement you see (in my Gerard Way era) #we had a huge fight yesterday... anyways I've rambled in the tags long enough #I ramble

Today in Christian History

Today is Thursday, April 20th, the 110th day of 2023. There are 255 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

1479: Death of Alexander who founded the Orthodox monastery of Oshevensk, experienced miracles, and was a notable spiritual counselor.

1529: At the Second Diet of Speyer, the term “Protestant” is first applied to participants of the Reformation. The term was taken from the Protestatio, a statement by the reformers challenging the imperial stance on religion.

1558: Death of Johannes Bugenhagen, a leading Lutheran reformer, a professor at the University of Wittenberg, and the pastor of the city church there. Bugenhagen had helped Luther with his German Bible translation as well as translating the Bible into Low German himself.

1653: Cromwell dissolves the Rump Parliament, so-called because it consisted of only a few representatives who still remained. Cromwell lectures them on their vices and their uselessness, saying he is doing this at God’s command: “Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. Go!”

1676: Death of Baptist minister John Clarke, a founding father of Rhode Island, and the agent who obtained the colony’s charter from King Charles II in 1663.

1898: C.H. Spurgeon’s London tabernacle burns down. Efforts to rebuild it commence at once.

1962: Theologian Karl Barth is featured on the cover of Time magazine.

1988: Wilson Rajil Sabiya, a Lutheran theologian, writes a letter to General Ibrahim Babangida, President and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, alerting him to Muslim efforts to make Nigeria an Islamic country by infiltrating the police force.

2001: A Peruvian Air Force aircraft shoots down a private airplane carrying missionaries, killing Veronica Bowers and her infant daughter, Charity.

Colbert vs Louvois

Though he was valued by the king, who saw it as both a duty and a necessity to help mould the young man only three years younger than himself, Louvois was politically vulnerable, in part because of a cocksure attitude which stayed with him all his life. Louis apparently had to rebuke Louvois from time to time for his pride and arrogance, even for cheek to the royal person. Louvois's excessive self-confidence and great diligence spawned a corresponding suspicion on the part of Jean-Baptiste Colbert. In the late 1660s Colbert was engaged upon the humbling or removal of ministerial rivals, and he seems to have been set on destroying Louvois as a potential rival as quickly as possible: in July 1666, as the government prepared for war, Colbert launched a savage attack on Louvois in a letter to the king, accusing the young War Minister of ruining France through his arrogance and inexperience. Louis, however, does not appear to have acted upon this vitriolic denunciation, possibly because leading courtiers were making sure the king knew exactly what both ministers were like during these years. When the brief War of Devolution (1667-68) yielded territorial fruit, Colbert seems to have realised that it would not be so easy a task to remove Louvois as it had been to oust Fouquet and Du Plessis-Guénégaud. They consequently settled into an essentially polite, but cold and chary relationship.

as of today (dec. 3):

Israel's military ordered Gaza's second-largest city of Khan Yunis to evacuate--then proceeded to heavily bomb it right after.

Palestinians literally have nowhere to go. the Gaza Strip, which is the border between Israel and Egypt, is closed off.

“we will continue the war until we achieve all its goals, and it’s impossible to achieve those goals without the ground operation,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday evening. translation--he will continue killing innocent civilians in the name of "wiping out Hamas from Gaza."

Al-Ahli Baptist hospital said more than 15 children were killed. but to be clear--most sources say it's yet to be determined how many people were killed since the ceasefire overall. translation: it's probably much higher than 15.

“they strike everywhere,” said Amal Radwan, a woman sheltering in Jabaliya. “there is the nonstop sound of explosions around us.”

reports say the death toll in the strip since Oct. 7 had surpassed 15,500. 70% of the dead were women and children. more than 40,000 people had been wounded.

fears of a wider conflict continued. Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group said it struck Israeli positions near the tense Lebanon-Israel border as clashes between the Iran-backed group and Israeli military resumed. Eleven people--eight soldiers and three civilians--were injured from Hezbollah fire in the area of Beit Hillel, army radio reported.

this is what's happening while the world is watching.

Jittery with joy that in a serious talk with my judgey older sister about probably being queer and playing around with the idea of she/they pronouns, her reaction was completely unfazed and unsurprised.

And told me that she’s been waiting for me to ask to go by they/them pronouns for a while now so she had been mentally practicing what that would be like anyway.

#she was actually MORE surprised by the queer part than the gender stuff #when I explained I liked the word queer because it captured the nuance of being married and not really in a space to explore bisexuality #at least not right now #she was like wait but everyone imagines themselves with the opposite gender now and then #and I was like uhhhhh Amy????? #turns out that she really loved The Color Purple #and thinks about women kind of a lot #and I’m like sis you’re not straight either #would you look at us #two queer children of a southern baptist minister #how delightful

MLK at 95.

January 15, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

Martin Luther King, Jr. was born 95 years ago on January 15, 1929. As a Baptist minister, he advocated non-violence while promoting civil rights. He spoke for the poor, the oppressed, and the disenfranchised. While he was imprisoned in a Birmingham jail for protesting segregation, he responded to eight white ministers who had criticized him for participating in protests that they described as “unwise and untimely.”

Dr. King’s famous reply to the white ministers explained why he traveled to Birmingham from Atlanta to protest:

I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. Never again can we afford to live with the narrow, provincial outside agitator" idea. Anyone who lives inside the United States can never be considered an outsider.

While Dr. King was keenly aware of the racism that served as the understructure of the Christian church in the old South, he would be shocked by the virulent, mean-spirited, anti-Christian message that animates many (not all) evangelical congregations in America today. They form the backbone of Donald Trump's support in Iowa and beyond. They have adopted Trump's message that treats the poor, oppressed, and disenfranchised as “outsiders” and “others” who do not belong in America.

Over the last several days, we have learned that members of the Texas National Guard physically blocked federal Border Patrol agents from responding to reports of immigrants in distress in the Rio Grande. The bodies of a mother and two children were later recovered from the river in the area where immigrants were reported to be in distress.

Texas, of course, denies that its cruel actions caused the drownings—a denial that should be viewed skeptically from a state whose governor—Greg Abbott—recently commented Texas troopers could not shoot immigrants crossing the border because the troopers would be charged with murder by the Biden administration. Texas governor criticized after comment about shooting migrants | The Texas Tribune.

Similar animus underlies the recent comments of Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves, who withdrew Mississippi from a federal program to provide food to school children during summer breaks. Governor Reeves said Mississippi withdrew from the program to fight “attempts to expand the welfare state.”

Blocking efforts to rescue a drowning mother and her children? Regretting the inability to shoot immigrants because it would be murder? Denying food to poor children out of spite? Who are these people? How do they look at themselves in the mirror?

Ninety-five years after Dr. King’s birth and fifty-five years after his death, it is difficult to believe that people who identify as upstanding members of the Christian church can support such actions.

Another section from Dr. King’s Letter from a Birmingham Jail is relevant to this moment in our nation’s history:

But the judgment of God is upon the church as never before. If the church of today does not recapture the sacrificial spirit of the early church, it will lose its authentic ring, forfeit the loyalty of millions, and be dismissed as an irrelevant social club with no meaning for the twentieth century. I meet young people every day whose disappointment with the church has risen to outright disgust.

Dr. King’s words were prophetic. See Pew Research (10/17/19) In U.S., Decline of Christianity Continues at Rapid Pace.

And, of course, as Dr. King recognized, “there are some notable exceptions” among church leaders who supported his work—just as there are exceptions today. Several readers have recommended Faithful America as an antidote to Christian nationalism. The organization’s helpful FAQ page explains why “Christian nationalism” is not Christian. See Resisting Christian Nationalism: FAQ + Resources | Faithful America.

On this day commemorating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s birth, we can see how far we have come—and how much further we must go. He didn’t despair. Neither should we.
