Looks like little RI is up there too. I'm so tired.

The cruelty against people with disabilities continues. If you’ve traveled with someone who uses a wheelchair, you probably know how stressful it can be — especially if that wheelchair is damaged during the trip.

As a non-Catholic, I do love this bit where the pope of the Catholic Church says something fairly anodyne about Catholic theology and a bunch of podcast guys are like, "Who's this asshole to lecture us about Catholicism?"

When #YomKippur comes around on the calendar I am always reminded of a conversation I had with a rabbi friend about Catholic and Jewish fasting. It ended with him telling me, "Yeah, that's not fasting." 🤣 tzom kal to all observing.

In preparation for my Bible class tomorrow, I assigned students to read the law code in Exodus and choose two commandments they find interesting, compelling, or weird. Scanning their homework, I've noticed lots of them referring to Exodus 22:20 as compelling and relevant. Very heartening. ⬇️

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

Ma figghia to me as I was getting ready to leave for school today: "Papà, make sure you have, libri (books), computer, l'acqua (water), matita (pencil) and caffè." She knows me so well. 😍

By tern You don't get it. Their rejection of clean air and masking is not based on logistics or cost or practicality or achievability or comfort. They think that you *need to catch airborne viruses*. That's why they reject clean air. And, yes, they are wrong. Source: x.com/1goodtern/st...

If you are working within the field of early Christianity, be sure you read this book. Like immediately. Uro's application of cognitive science of religion (CSR) to early Christian ritual practice is outstanding.

It's still in its concept of a plan stage.

Thank you for sharing this piece! The inscription on the side shown here identifies the figure as St Apa Stephanos, so St Paul must be on the other side. There is more information on the icon in this article: dx.doi.org/10.26247/aur...
