"I think that one of the worst things we humans do to each other & ourselves is to damage us into inability to receive grace." -- Mary Ann Dimand, 2014-11-09 (during #qfaith, a weekly gathering of LGTBQ religious Twitter users^[*]. The context was GTBLQ people being driven from their churches or feeling driven away because of anti-GBLTQ messages and worse.

[*] #Qfaith is an intentionally multi-faith and multi-racial weekly online gathering for TBGLQ people (using Twitter) to discuss the intersection of being queer and religious, various religious topics from a queer perspective, and sometimes other topics from a religious-and-queer perspective. It starts every Sunday at 6pm Eastern Time / 3pm Pacific Time. (What that translates to in UTC or local times around the globe depends on the relative timing of the start and end of your country's 'summer time' (if your clocks change twice a year) and the US 'daylight saving time'.) #Qfaith is also the rest-of-the-week community of the Sunday participants and other interested parties.

Hey, folks in and around Baltimore -- especially if you have the day off for Veterans Day tomorrow (or work nearby enough to step over for your lunch break): tomorrow at noon, The Homespun Ceilidh Band is performing in the lobby of the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins as part of their "Art of Healing" concert series! Noon to one -- come listen.
