Fellow Brethren are among over two dozen religious groups suing the United States federal government for infringing on religious liberty by having a policy of rounding up (purported) immigrants in houses of worship: https://mailchi.mp/brethren/newsline-special-feb-11-2025

I came in the great Xitter Migration of Nov 2022. I post cat and food pics without CWs.

Professionally, I’m interested in data analysis, #Labour law, #IndigenousRights law, and #Disability justice.

Personally, I’m interested in #Biking, #Landback, #Degrowth, #Greenbelt, #Anabaptism, #Quilts, #VisibleMending, #ZeroWaste, #Ottawa.

Veuillez excusez les fautes.

G’day. 👋 A Mastodon #introduction : I’m Jarrod, living on Wadjuk Noongar land 🖤💛❤️ (on most maps as Perth, Australia). A decade ago, in the context of interviewing #BillMcKibben about our #climateemergency, he something to me that haunts me still. Bill said we have a responsibility to enjoy what future generations won’t experience in the same way.

*let that sink in*

So I’ll start with practices for me shaped by this conversation and Dostoyevsky’s words, “Love all God’s creation, both the whole and every grain of sand.” I love talking to the #birds 🦜 and teaching my boys their Noongar names (like Uncle [ ] Garlett taught me). I love #surfing 🏄🏼‍♂️ #hiking ⛰ #snorking 🪸 #spearfishing 🐠🐬🐟#surfskating (I ride a Holy Toledo #Smoothstar 🛹🏄🏼‍♂️). Kathleen is my beloved. 🥰 The outdoors is literally a religious experience for me. Oh, talking God-bothering, that’s kinda my neurodiverse hyper-fixation: the transfiguring-nonviolent-liberating-love revealed in Jesus.

That’s lead to some award winning nonviolent trouble-making, a popular podcast with Dr Drew Hart (https://www.patreon.com/InVerse), and other stuff you can checkout here: https://jarrodmckenna.com

#theology: A very Jesus-y #ecojustice cocktail of #Hesychasm #Anabaptism #CatholicWorker #IndigenousTheology non-Marxist #ChristianSocialism #Quakerism #BlackChurch and charismania expressed in #Contemplative prayer, creative
#nonviolence and #solidarity.

So let’s collaborate in what John Lewis called, “good trouble”. 😊
