There are many dangerous, misleading rumors spreading about #Helene response, which can actively prevent survivors from getting help. Our top priority is ensuring that disaster assistance is reaching people in need.

This thread just made me cry, in the best way.
Father's Day: My dad died twenty-eight years ago next month, and so I have been without someone to wish a "happy Father's Day" to in person almost as long as I had someone to wish that to, which is a very strange thought, since every passing year I feel more and more his son.

Grateful for the ministry of @PGH_FoundHOPE serving the spiritual needs of inmates and facilitating @BishopZubik’s visit today.
We were pleased to welcome Bishop Zubik back to the Allegheny County Jail for the first time in 5 years to host a mass for 40-50 incarcerated individuals. He also washed the feet of 12 people. Thank you Bishop Zubik for celebrating Holy Thursday at the Allegheny County Jail.

Driving down East Liberty Blvd at this time of year makes me feel like Anne of Green Gables.

I’m really impressed by the depth of talent and diversity of perspectives on these committees.
We are not wasting a single moment, and we won't waste a single good idea to make Allegheny County the best it can be. Today I am proud to announce our Transition Policy Committees and nearly 200 esteemed and diverse leaders from Allegheny County who will join my transition. 🧵

“Every word and every action that brings us closer together, even minimally, is good.” This feels true for Israel/Palestine — and for a whole lot of other divides too.
This conflict is so hard to resolve, I think, because at its deepest it is not about land or specific borders. It is about trauma and deep-seated and well-founded fears. And so it can only be resolved when majorities on both sides believe - truly, deeply, believe - that the majority and the leadership of the other side truly wants to live side by side in some way. That’s a very tall order right now. We are very far from that. But realistically, that’s what it will take. Nothing less than that will break the knot. And this is why every word and every action that brings us closer together, even minimally, is good, and every act or gesture that pulls us further apart is bad.

The struggle is real. A fun alternative is when you know where you’re going but the wrong lane sends you to the top of Mount Washington.
Got Pittsburgh humbled today. Aka I knew where I was going but got stuck in the wrong lane and ended up on the wrong side of a river

Remember back at #UCCSynod when some of us, including Rev Jim Moos and me, were inadvertent members of the #MooseFraternity? This evening at the #WeeKirkNE conference I met Rev Jim MOOSE and inducted him as an honorary member.

Pretty sure Kristy Thomas had this idea first.
Million dollar idea: Babysitters that market themselves as a duo for double-dating couples. “Madison and Eva are both available 7-10p on Friday night”

Dan Leger is one of the finest human beings I have ever met, and really just one of the finest human beings, period.
Saw Dan Leger, a Pgh synagogue shooting survivor, return to his seat yesterday after a break in victim impact statements. He took the long way around the room, which took him past Tricia Fine, the shooter's aunt. He paused, put a hand on her shoulder, then continued to his seat.

There was no room at the inn. Lord, have mercy.
This is one of ours from Smithfield. Praying they’re both okay. This is not okay, that the city left her to have her baby in the street.

KGT leads by recognizing all who contributed, acknowledging and responding to critique, and offering transparency about future plans … so far so good! #UCCSynod

City of fountains? I think they have swag on the @OurWholeLives table that would come in handy for that. #UCCSynod

.@MaryNelsonUCC just said “shuttlecocks” on the Synod stage and I can’t improve on that.

Plastic animals on Synod stage feeling conflicted about plastic resolution. Did the fox flee before its consideration? #UCCSynod
