Season 3's "Cause you're the BEAR™ and I remember you~" line was:

"Take us there bear. "

Ffs I really expected more from this show in handling Marcus' grief, but w/e - the visuals, editing and cinematography was great - the montages portrayed Carmy's fractured state of mind fantastically, the episode's Ayo and Joanna Calo directed, episodes 6 and 8 respectively were my favourites, Sydcarmy moments were subtle, but also in your face - e.g. hearing one of the Ever chef alums talk about, "The things you learn at dinner with your spouse!" after Carmy wheedled Syd into attending the Ever funeral dinner with him and just prior to him (hopefully) coming to the realization that emulating his asshole former boss Chef David was an exercise in bitter futility....but the things that were bloated and disappointed with this season sure did disappoint.

I would've felt far less underwhelmed had they given us less of Fak and Claire (and even Frank and Tiff to a certain extent) and more of the BOH staff's personal lives. Why are Manny and Angel and Ebra still relegated to a thankless non speaking background, why couldn't they sit with the impact of Marcus' mother's death on him in a way that didn't feel like such a, "swallowed my teeth" sort of, dare I say, whitewashed funeral instead of a vibrant celebration of life service, where is more of Sydney's backstory, when is Carmy's character going to progress, he can't keep regressing indefinitely, can he????

I wish I really couldn't see John Cena 😭

And why TF did they have Nat running herself ragged until the last moment until the delivery - I wanted to knock Carmy's head off when he was yelling at her to find more money, goddamn he has a long way to go in terms of maturation / character development and Sydney, Sydney, Sydney...as they say in Nigerian pentecostal churches a closed mouth is a closed destiny....I just need her to ream Carmy AT LEAST ONCE VERBALLY without holding back and if she dips afterwards so be it because omg he was maddening to watch this season much less work with.

Alice Herman at The Guardian:

By 9am on Monday, hundreds of worshipers who had gathered under a tent in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, were already on their feet. Praiseful music bumped from enormous speakers. The temperature was pushing 90F (32C). The congregants had gathered in north-western Wisconsin for the Courage Tour, a travelling tent revival featuring a lineup of charismatic preachers and self-styled prophets promising healing, and delivering a political message: register to vote. Watch, or work, the polls. And help deliver the 2024 election to Donald Trump. Serving as a voter registration drive and hub for recruiting poll workers, it was no mistake that the Courage Tour came to Wisconsin just three months ahead of the presidential election in November. The tour had already visited three other swing states: Georgia, Michigan and Arizona. Heavy-hitting Maga organizations – including America First Policy Institute, TPUSA Faith and America First Works – had a presence outside the tent. Inside, headlining the event was Lance Wallnau, a prominent figure in the New Apostolic Reformation – a movement on the right that embraces modern-day apostles, aims to establish Christian dominion over society and politics and has grown in influence since Trump was elected president in 2016.

“‘Pray for your rulers,’ that’s about as far as we got in the Bible,” said Wallnau, setting the tone for the day, which would feature a series of sermons focused on the ideal role of Christians in government and society. “I think what’s happened is over time, we began to realize you cannot trust that government like you thought you could trust, and you can’t trust the media to tell you what’s really happening,” he exclaimed. What followed in Wallnau’s morning sermon were a series of greatest hits of the Maga right: January 6 (not an insurrection), the 2020 election (marred by fraud) and Covid-19 (a Chinese bioweapon). Many of the attendees had learned of the event from Eau Claire’s Oasis church – a Pentecostal church whose congregants were already familiar with the movement’s goal to turn believers into activists with a religious mission. “This is wonderful,” said Cyndi Lund, an Oasis churchgoer who attended the four-day event. “I teach a class on biblical citizenship – the Lord put in my heart that we have to be voting biblically, and if nothing else, we have a duty in America to vote.”

According to the preachers who sermonized on Monday, the correct biblical worldview is a deeply conservative one. The speakers repeatedly stated their opposition to abortion and LGBTQ+ rights and inclusion, ideas that were elaborated on in pamphlets passed around the crowd and on three large screens facing the audience. (“Tolerance IS NOT A commandment,” read one poster, propped up in front of the pro-Trump Turning Point USA stall outside the tent.) After Wallnau spoke, Bill Federer, an evangelist who has written more than thirty books weighing in on US history from an anti-communist and rightwing perspective, offered a brief and often intensely inaccurate, intellectual history of the US and Europe. During his talk, Federer dropped references to the villains of his historiography – among them Karl Marx, Fidel Castro, the German philosopher Hegel and, “a little closer to home”, the political theorist of the New Left, Saul Alinsky. The crowd, apparently already versed in Federer’s intellectual universe, groaned and booed when Federer mentioned Alinsky.

The Courage Tour led by Christian Nationalists and 7MD advocates Lance Wallnau and Mario Murillo serve one purpose: to elect Donald Trump and other Republicans into office.

Pentecost Batik Art by Solomon Raj, India

Dr. Rev. P. Solomon Raj “was born the son of a village mission schoolteacher in the West Godavary district of Andhra Pradesh, India in 1921. He was a Lutheran theologian from India which wrote his Ph.D. thesis on an indigenous church in India.

Solomon RAJ was not only a theologian but also an artist. His outstanding batiks and wood-cuts have been shown in numerous expositions in Germany, Britain and the USA. Dr. RAJ trained first as a freelance artist with Ramarao School of Arts in Rajahmundry, and later in the Indiana University School of Arts graduate program. A member and past president of Indian Christian Arts Association, he was also a member of the Asian Christian Arts Association. He died in 2019.

He produced quite a few books with his art. Here are some of his batiks on the theme of Pentecost.

To go in-depth on the life and art of P. Solomon Raj, I recommend this book: "Incarnation of the Gospel in Indian Culture: A Study of the Art and Poetry of Pulidindi Solomon Raj." It was published in 2019.

The Spirit is a wild thing - Joan Chittister OSB: Feast of Pentecost

The Holy Spirit, God’s energizing presence among us, sounds the truth in us that we are more than we seem to be. Holy Spirit suffuses all of life, calls us into the mystery that is God, reminds us of the model that is Jesus, and brings us to the fullness of ourselves. Holy Spirit is the great anti-gravitational force that calls us out of somewhere into everywhere, that keeps us moving toward and through the black holes of life, certain that on the other side of them is light, waiting and wishing us on.

The Spirit embodies the life force of the universe, the power of God, the animating energy present in all things and captured by none. Because of the Spirit, Jesus is not gone and God is not distant, and the life force around us bears it proof.

The Spirit of God moves us to new heights of understanding, to new types of witness, to new dimensions of life needed in the here and now. The static dies under the impulse of the Spirit of a creating God. We do not live in the past. We are not blind beggars on a dark road groping our separate ways toward God. There is a magnet in each of us, a gift of God that repels deceit and impels us toward good. The gifts are mutual, mitered to fit into one another for strength and surety.

We are, in other words, in the most refreshingly trite, most obviously astounding way, all in this together—equally adult, equally full members, equally responsible for the Church. Nor does any one dimension of the Church have a monopoly on insight, on grace, on the promptings of God in this place at this time. The Spirit of God is a wild thing, breathing where it will, moving as it pleases, settling on women and men alike.

New Public Collectors publication!

The Courtroom Artist Residency Report: Residencies #4-8

[PURCHASE] $8.00

The second collection of reports from Public Collectors' meal-based artist residency that brings artists to observe Criminal Court in Chicago, followed by a meal and discussion. These reports provide a space for the residents to talk about their experience and share reflections, notes, and conversations related to their residency.

Featured in this booklet are discussions with Edward Marszewski, Tara Betts, Josh Rios, and Claire Pentecost. Activist Sarah Wild provides a response to my residency with Edward Marzsewski, filling in additional details on the case of police torture victim Gerald Reed. Josh Rios and I observed murderer ex-cop Jason Van Dyke's entire 9 hour sentencing hearing and Josh contributes an additional text on the victim impact statement read by the great uncle of shooting victim Laquan McDonald. Tara Betts turns in a beautiful page of thoughts about the women who stand by in support of their men who are trapped in the prison system. A conversation with artist Claire Pentecost takes some lighter turns as we discuss the art and photography in courtroom 700, as well as a judge's address to potential jurors in room 402.

Happy October 🎃

These are just a few of the cool books coming out this month!

As always, check under the cut for more on each~

The Death of Jane Lawrence by Caitlin Starling is a horror story with the classic mysterious "don't go here/look at me/etc" spooky husband trope. I'm not entirely sure what goes on beyond the, of course, breaking of the promise, and mistrust of her husband, because I am terrified to get spoiled but it looks so great and I've heard really wonderful things!

Squad by Maggie Tokuda-Hall & Lisa Sterle is one I can vouch for being sublime. This is sort like a graphic novel take on Heathers if Heathers were about werewolves and rapist murdering, and also had a lesbian of color as the main character! This is actually the perfect October book, and I will die on that hill.

Aristotle and Dante Dive into the Waters of the World by Benjamin Alire Sáenz is the sequel to Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, and having read an advanced version of this book I can tell you it will make you feel just as much as the first book.

City of Shattered Light by Claire Winn is a sapphic sci-fi! This one has hostile tech, a greedy & manipulative father, and a gun slinging outlaw! This feels like a grand, technicolor space western adventure and I, for one, and ready for it.

Little Thieves by Margaret Owen is one of my all time favorite books of 2021. It's a retelling of The Goose Girl, with a main character who is conniving, cut throat, snarky, and also will do just about anything to not have an emotion. It's full of low gods, curses, investigations, and queer rep- including an asexual main character and love interest!

That Dark Infinity by Kate Pentecost has all the fan favorite characters you could ever want, wrapped up in a prophecy and an immortality curse. The Ankou, legendary mercenary, winds up taking care of Flora, hand maiden and last survivor of her kingdom, only to realize she may actually be one of the keys to finally killing him.The writing is as beautiful as it is funny, and I would die for every single character in this book.

Happy reading! ~

@liebesherz tagged me to share my next reads so here is a mix of things from my reading list which comes from, like, random twitter/wiki tip-offs, favourite authors’ new works, the pile of things @violetmoods suggested for me ages ago, the books my book club votes against, other. it may take me genuine years to get around to these. who knows. but they’re Next

[our members be unlimited by sam wallman, when i grow up i want to be a list of further possibilities by chen chen, the old lie by claire g. coleman, sea of tranquility by emily st. john mandel, monday starts on saturday by arkady & boris strugatsky, less by andrew sean greer, everything i need i get from you: how fangirls created the internet as we know it by kaitlyn tiffany, a river with a city problem: a history of brisbane floods by margaret cook, beyond belief: how pentecostal christianity is taking over the world by elle hardy]

sorry there’s 9 instead of 6 but i only included one thing tangentially related to my job so that’s a personal win here.

i can never think of people to tag. @areyougonnabe​ @americachavez @intricateritual​ howdy if you wish

A Pentecost Satsang (UK)

Friends with WEC Resonance Band and Ian Collinge are joining with Claire Pepperd, Vinay Mekwan, Ruwani Gunawardene, John Ruston and friends to celebrate Pentecost at Christ Church, Roxeth Hill, Harrow UK. That location is about 13 miles northeast of London.

The service will be preceded by an open rehearsal and refreshments. Please sign up https://bit.ly/SatsangWorship

For a model of a Yeshu Satsang in the UK a few years ago, see my previous blog post at https://globalworship.tumblr.com/post/627468315703541760/satsang-model-from-all-nations-christian-college

Mosaic Church Harrow, an intercultural worshipping community was launched last Saturday. The service was blessed with liturgical dancing in the Bharata Natyam style by my friend Susanna Harrington with Scripture read in Sinhala and English.
