Netanyahu, stop dropping bombs.
I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for…

I thought I recognized these. Thank you for making these amazing early images canon.
Cannot say anything about Moon Knight : Fist of Khonshu #10 (LGY #250) Other than the fact that it comes out this week, and these pieces make an appearance in it :) As long time fans know, I made these as practice pieces when I was brought onto VoTMK as a guest artist :)
Reading now! Here's to 250 issues and 50 years of my favorite caped crusader, Moon Knight. Also a big milestone issue for Jed MacKay who has been on Moon Knight since 2021. This was my first ongoing comic when I started reading 4 years ago, and it's great having Jed for 50 issues

The Friars in the US call everyone to reflect on their own biases and work together to confront racism and the campaign against DEI. "Significant numbers of white Roman Catholics are participants, often unknowingly or unreflectively, in the backlash against 'D.E.I. programs'"
We encourage you to take time to deepen your knowledge, skills and spiritual depth to confront racism through reading, videos and reflection. Here are some anti-racism resources for Catholics to help you get started. bit.ly/4o9Qn1d
I'm convinced that those who do not rank The Silver Chair in the top tier of the Chronicles don't understand it.
A Washington Post analysis found President Trump and his appointees allegedly defied court orders in a third of over 160 lawsuits with substantive rulings, which experts say pose an unprecedented threat to the U.S. legal system. wapo.st/4eVv8vy
This was wild.
I debated 20 far-far-far-right conservatives on Jubilee's 'Surrounded.' Below are some brief highlights of them unable to answer my basic questions or rebut the simplest of points. Not sure whether to laugh or cry. Here's the full eye-opening 'debate': youtube.com/watch?v=2S-WJN…
Every true encounter is free and cannot be bought: whether it is with God, with others, or with nature. We must simply become guests: make space and also ask for it; welcome and allow ourselves to be welcomed. We are called not only to give, but also to receive. #Angelus

The fact that people have gone their whole life not knowing what fluff is will never cease to amaze me.

This is the parish in Gaza that Pope Francis would call every night.
