A Halloween thread about my Halloween threads:

Every Halloween that I dress up, I dress as Nico. When I was younger, I dressed as young Nico. Now I dress as old Nico. She died at 49, but (luckily for my Halloween needs) looked older. That's her on the left. (1 of 3)
And yes, I made videos, because it was fun! Here I lip-sync a bit of Nico's version of a Jackson Browne tune. Trying for a 1982 feel. (2 of 3)
And here I lip-sync Nico's version of "My Funny Valentine," trying to capture the expressions she makes (especially with her eyes) in this: . Obviously my wig's too big, and I could have worked harder to make the makeup authentic. But it was fun! (3 of 3)
P.S. I took off the wig and thought I'd take one last selfie before taking off my makeup. Enjoy the rest of this Halloween evening and get home safe (or stay safe at home)!
And here's the thread on @threadreaderapp, which makes it easy (and fun) to A/B Nico's "My Funny Valentine" with my own lip-sync: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1587281…

This past weekend, #CatholicTwitter learned ...

... that @GKCdaily gleefully selects Chesterton's most anti-Semitic quotes--drawing even from unreprinted writings--to disseminate them to its 145K followers;

1/5
... that not only does @chestertonsoc refuse to disavow @GKCdaily's anti-Semitism, but its prez Dale Ahlquist even wrote a rave review in its magazine of an anti-Semitic book by E. Michael Jones under the Jewish-sounding pseudonym Bradley Rothstein;


2/5
... and that both @SeanPDailey2, former editor of @chestertonsoc's magazine, and Kevin O'Brien (@thewordinc), the society's former spokesman, have publicly disavowed the Chesterton Society for its refusal to disavow @GKCdaily & others who celebrate Chesterton's antisemitism.

Public-service announcement:

Recently @fredlbarr, who has followed me & tweeted at me supportively for years, DMed me after I asked if anyone in Boston was interested in having me speak there. He offered to assist me & said he was in fact Father Fred Barr of @bostoncatholic. 1/6
Father Fred added that he was retired from the priesthood and asked me not to tell anyone he was a priest.

I then Googled him and found articles such as this: findingchristinastory.com/ancientfaithne…. When I asked Fr. Fred about them, he expressed offense that I had put his name into Google. 2/6
For my part, I was distressed that a man who followed my tweets closely, and thus couldn't be ignorant that I was a survivor of child sexual abuse, had ingratiated himself to me over a period of years while hiding his identity lest I learn he was accused of misconduct. 3/6

As I said in my address to @chestertonsoc (see ), we must distinguish between those things he said that are worthy of praise and those things he said that are unacceptable.

The statement in @GKCdaily's tweet below is absolutely unacceptable. 1/2
And it's not the first time that the account has tweeted such anti-Jewish hatred to its 144K followers.

Worse still, the quote has never been reprinted in any Chesterton collection. You have to be _looking_ for anti-Semitic quotes to find it.

For shame!

When I addressed @chestertonsoc, I said it should "engage in an honest reckoning with Chesterton’s writings on Jews": wherepeteris.com/wrestling-with….

The society responded by publishing a line-by-line rebuttal of ME, not GKC.

Clearly GKC's antisemitism has infected his modern cultus.

I shared earlier about Buddy Harrison, my fellow St. Joseph's Capitol Hill (@GoodNewsDC) parishioner. He was an ex-con who found Jesus, became a daily Mass-goer, and spent nearly every day of his life serving Christ's poor until he was gunned down outside his home Sept. 25. 1/x
Here's a good obit of Buddy (but it mistakenly says he had pancreatic rather than prostate cancer): eastoftheriverdcnews.com/2022/10/10/in-…
Today I was at his funeral Mass. I've never seen one like it. About 300 folks were there, most of them non-Catholic, many if not most Black or Hispanic. 2/x
The funeral was so inspiring that it moved me to spend hours last night exploring Buddy's social media.

It was an overwhelming experience--reinforcing, 100s of times over, my intuition that the man was a saint.

So, here is a lengthy thread with the best of what I found.

Dear @katie4louisiana:
Having watched your @CNN interview, including the remarkable ad in which you give birth, I have a question: You say when Roe was overturned, you considered moving out of state, as you feared you might be denied proper care for your high-risk pregnancy. 1/4
I myself am concerned at reports that some doctors post-Dobbs have hesitated to give women miscarriage care prior to fetal viability (nytimes.com/2022/07/20/us/…).
But here's the thing: You told CNN that when you considered moving, you were already _seven_months_ pregnant. 2/4
You said the same to @washingtonpost: wapo.st/3fLDXxx.
But at seven months/29 weeks, your unborn child was _viable_. No doctor in an anti-abortion state would deny you the proper care, even if you miscarried.
Why, then, did you consider moving out of state? 3/4

I am pro-life. That includes being anti-abortion save for cases where it is necessary to save the mother's life.

So the following thread is not a dispute between a "pro-life" and "pro-choice" person, or vice versa.

It's about a threat to every human life, born & unborn,
🧵 1/x
namely, the threat to democracy that I detailed in the thread to which @cantdon responded: . It's the threat posed by a GOP that refuses to reject Trump's election lies. It's the threat of the US falling under a "pro-life" strongman as did Nicaragua. 2/x
Chuck Donovan cites @CCamosy's article offering advice for the GOP. I want to respond to that. But first, since Chuck is bringing him into a thread in which he said that many pro-lifers were Never Trumpers, let's look back at Dr. Camosy in 2016. 3/x
