“You can’t turn Joan of Arc into a queer icon, she wasn’t transgender—“ do you have any idea how many things we have applied to saints post-mortem that sound quite strange when considering their actual lives and accomplishments? Joan worn men’s clothing for multiple reasons, none of which get to ‘count’ more than others, and while we cannot talk to her face to face about her relationship with gender nonconformity, I know in my heart that she is overjoyed to be asked to pray over the courageous fighters that are queer people and trans people

It’s that time again— Happy feast day to my patron, the protector of the transgender, transsexual, and gender nonconforming. we love you Jo!!

btw it's so fucking stupid you can be anxious physically in your body even after you've decided mentally you don't care. I'm supposed to be in charge here

oh, i am finally old enough to know why my parents took so long to grab their coats. why they would ask us to get ready to go only to sit down for another round of coffee. what would i tell myself, at 10 years old? it’s okay. sit down with them too. take in the extra hour with your friend and her family. when you get home, write down every moment in your diary. one day you will be older and you will be waving goodbye to your best friend, and you will turn the key to start your beat up little car engine, and you will look back over your shoulder. her hair will be blowing in the wind and she will be beautiful and you will be, for a moment, struck by all of it. what you will feel is so wide and nameless that it will engulf you. and you will think of being 14 and kicking her under the table in math every time you wanted to whisper something behind the teacher’s back. you will think about how long the days felt, and how you could hold her hand whenever you wished, but you didn’t. and you will think about all of the people you could have lingered with. and you will wish, more than you have ever felt a wish, that the universe just gave you that - more time to linger. more time to say - i love you. i know i need to leave, but i don’t want to leave you. and when i go, i am leaving a piece of my heart that lingers too. 

one more round of coffee. the days are so short, and you are so lovely.

“The number of hours we have together is actually not so large. Please linger near the door uncomfortably instead of just leaving. Please forget your scarf in my life and come back later for it.” (mikko harvey)

“If you filled your hands with sand and threw them into the sea, would the water dry up? No, neither could our sins defeat God's immeasurable mercy."

Look not at our sins, O Lord, but at the faith of your queers.

Why are you distant, beloved? The veil is torn.

Thinking about St Mary Magdalene in today’s reading.

She’s the first one to wash someone’s feet.

Not Christ.

Not the twelve.

Her.

She approaches with perfume, kneels down, takes the savior’s feet. Tenderly washes them, perfumes them, dries them with her hair.

St Matthew tells us that she was preparing him for his death, anointing his body with oils fitting a corpse. He also tells us that she anointed his head with the oil as well. Mimicking our chrism during confirmation.

She anoints Jesus and washes his feet before he does the same for the disciples.

Apostle to the apostles, the first to see the resurrected Christ and spread the good news, St Mary Magdalene took the posture of Christ and specifically took the posture of his role as priest. And when others criticized her, Jesus told them that her actions deserved praise, not condemnation.

I don’t have a profound statement here. Just something to meditate on. It’s what stuck out to me during morning mass today.

Blessed Holy Week to you all.

You have no idea how much I love you. - God
