there’s a verse near the very end of the Bible that says anyone who adds new words to it will have an equal amount of torments added to their time in hell.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

Excellent news

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

This is what “WTAF” always stands for, I assume:

I unfortunately have the cutest baby

It is November 10, and perhaps Hill East’s ferocious mosquitos will finally die tonight.

Thanks to the baby for screaming enough to keep me from reading about other people’s business.

Obsessed with this photo of Mr. Rogers that looks almost exactly like The Onion sickos guy.

lady doesn’t even know how to romanize an Arabic feminine nominal

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

Baby slept all through church last week. Baby acted like a normal baby in church this week.

Update from a friend. I now think "acting earnestly confused toward the national guard" should be a soft protest campaign

Really smart work by a blind writer on Deaf history and art.

Back in the late twelfth century Al-Baghdadi saw your post about how ancient aliens built the pyramids and is embarrassed for you.

A couple of weeks ago, Trump struggled with a broken umbrella as he boarded Air Force One. Let me tell you how we got to this point — and the tragic downfall of the noble umbrella. 🧵

For months and months of visits, the television in this waiting room showed home renovation shows. I thought that was bad, but now it’s showing History Channel nonsense about 2,000-year-old South American carvings being made by the Tamils

For DC, this combined with federal workers who are furloughed now needing to access the local food banks, will be devastating

To the tune of Awesome God My God is a weakling God 💪 He needs to be saved by Trump 🌧 From kneeling, wokeness, and Bud 🫶 My God is a weak-ass God 💪

DC Public Library is open.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Chanting, "we are the body of Christ! The body of Christ will be free!" This crowd has swelled considerably. Few hundred here now.

The Amish are such a bottleneck of genetic disorders they have a special hospital for it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinic_...

the church is being torn from their loved ones by masked thugs, driven off in unmarked vans and never heard from again. pope leo could not be more focused on the church.

the wave of weaponized nostalgia for 90s-style multiculturalism and political correctness is gonna hit different

I was just thinking yesterday about how anxiety re: assimilation is weirdly modern; in most large cities (and often in the countryside) for century after century it was considered completely unremarkable to interact with people who would never be expected to know your language or share your religion

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

if you repeat “there is still time to repent” enough times in front of people facing down a hostile crowd and news cameras the message will start to sink in

I'm sorry, but for budget reasons, your chariot to the afterlife is scheduled to be pulled by a chicken.

If you aren’t from the Mid-Atlantic/have no experience of crab mustard, and you have to describe your baby’s poops to the pediatrician, how else do you describe the poops that are so clearly evocative of crab mustard?
