One, they wanted the content. Two, they wanted to get rid of women and Black people. Three, they wanted to install loyalists.

Got an "I'm not tired" toddler to sleep in a room with no curtains installed yet, during DST. Feel like a wizard. Or a photo developer. (Darkened the room with aluminum foil and a glue stick)

Today's adventure in Eating From The Pantry is baking bagels. Wish me luck, although I'm using a King Arthur Flour recipe so I hardly need luck.

Cursed phrase

This man is my enemy now

Unlike Row A’s formatting, Christ’s love is unconditional

"You know who else pivoted a table?"

Truly incredible to shut down a bunch of renewable energy stuff and then start a war that launches oil prices through the roof

You know what's really sad is that Wendell Berry is alive to see all of this happening

Fighting the good fight (weaning off decongestant nasal spray)

Today was a rare Sunday morning I didn't have to be anywhere before 11am Mass except now it's the "11:00 AM" Mass (real time 10am)

I am again calling for the abolition of timezones. You can just set your business hours to whenever you want. If you want to keep different hours in the summer you can just do that. Just state it in UTC so our global society knows what you mean.

This month mother nature must be spinning a big carnival wheel every night to pick a random temperature for the next day

Imo the very best results of social media are those accounts who use sponsorships to fund free cleanings of people's severely debilitating living spaces. Just pure goodness.

Honestly I get a bit mad about this every spring when changing my clocks. "Time to start lying to ourselves to participate in a mass delusion again"

There's the same amount of daylight today that there would have been if my clock said 8:25 instead of 9:25. Doesn't "save" shit

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

President Lula of Brazil: “My message to the US, Israel and Iran is simple: the world is tired of your conflicts. Diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest expression of human intelligence. Those who die are not the ones signing the attack orders; those who die are the innocents.”

Part of my life now is using a ruler and a knife to cut 12"×18" mixed media paper sheets down to 3.625"×6.825" sheets.

It's weird how there are people who really do worship death and try to get as many people killed as possible and they're the preps instead of the goths

christians looking for jesus in every war we start, every missile we fire, every conquering despot we crown, and never in the one place jesus promised he could be found: among the poor, the starving, the oppressed.

Can’t have student loan relief, can’t fund public education, can’t provide public healthcare, can’t build housing, can’t get a good job, can’t fund research to cure/treat illness and disease, can’t build green energy, can’t solve hunger and illness in the global south, but at least we can have this.

The Algorithm is now pushing me “Catholic AI” cash-grabs and I am pretty disgusted by the idea of using a generative AI app to do an interactive examination of conscience before reconciliation. Do not offer companies your sins! It’s horrifying to me that the developers don’t see the problem here!

It's so warm out, and not raining. I really have no remaining excuse not to clean out my car

"bets made among the staff over which detainee would be next to die by suicide." apnews.com/article/suic...

Calling God a "he/him enby" is MY joke

"SHIT" "FUCK" "NO" "FUCK" "SHIT" "FUCK"

One thing that’s crazy about Fr. R and his fascination with seeing demons everywhere is that he in many ways does the demonic work for them by making people doubt the efficacy of the ordinary means of grace

Cannot inhabit the perspective of people who love war.

“Would you imagine what a world without wars would be like? “A world without the terror of approaching explosions, without rocket alarms shattering the silence of the night? “Please join me this month in prayer for disarmament and peace. Let's pray and share with others.” — Pope Leo XIV

It's so sweet how the 11 year old will tell the 2.5 year old all the yummy things she can eat in her dream and she believes her and gets all excited to go to sleep 🥹

Having a very klutzy, sleep deprived day so it's time to go back to tha old me (making the Smitten Kitchen best cocoa brownies)

Kids and I have been making up Wordle games to challenge each other with. Pretty fun to make puzzles for a kid you know

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

It’s called Keeping Your Shit Together Thursday. It’s where you keep your shit together on a Thursday instead of crashing the fuck out and driving your car into the median.

The Charles Laughton film Night of the Hunter (1955) is even better than I remembered

One was a music teacher, and the other was a steel mill foreman

I hear you. It's not just about 𝐨𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧—it's about 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 of your biology. It's a quiet act of revolution, and you've come to the right place. 𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧.

it's Keep Your Cool Wednesday. It's where you keep your cool midweek instead of losing your fucking shit and crashing the fuck out.

Having Feelings about this, as someone from a family of teachers, having built a life around a bespoke unpaid teaching position because education is just that important to me.

This is good but, remember, Jesus will presumably also still love you if you have work done.

My Very Good Cat does this subtle form of sabotage: when he hears my alarm he comes up to my room to demand pets and snuggles. Makes it very very hard to get up and start the day.

So it goes.

If you're gonna homeschool just be aware that your relationship with your preteen daughter might be directly affected by her relationship to her wounded ego when math gets challenging

Trying to figure out what the timeline is talking about

I am interested in libbing out some more. I know it’s not good to overindulge but it’s been quite a while since I last libbed out. looking for opportunities for libbing out if you happen to know of any, my good sir, haha

Hegseth’s mom is Marty Haugen’s sister.

We are becoming more and more of an Ingredient Household, and if you also are, you should remember you can make microwave mug cakes for a quick dessert. You don't have to just eat chocolate chips.
