God is on my side tonight. I made PERFECT biscuits and a bundt cake that came out of the pan with ZERO issues

Public Domain Library 📚 has many free ebooks to read on kindle! including the Odyssey. publicdomainlibrary.org/en/ebooks/th... But lol to this synopsis.

When the weather gets hot, please take special care for the goths in your life. With their floor-length coats, platform shoes, and velvet capes, it’s hard for them to thermoregulate as we do.

That time when Santa (alegedly) got pissed at the First Council of Nicea.

OH HEY I MADE THIS INSTEAD OF CHECKING REPLIES 𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗘𝗥𝗔𝗟 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝘅 𝗡𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗛 𝗡𝗢𝗜𝗭𝗘 LET ME PUT THIS IN LANGUAGE THAT YOU WILL UNDERSTAND:

I once asked a priest to bless a printer that I was in the middle of fighting with and he went "I only bless things when there's a chance it'll take" and then turned and walked out of the room.

So much of the thinking in academia right now is that soon, the chuds will be gone and things will be back to the way they were before. But undoing the damage the GOP has inflicted in this last 18 months will take a decade, if not more.

The Chicago National Archives closure will be a loss for historians and researchers — even deep-sea divers. blockclubchi.co/4papGdE

"print is a rent strike" @mattseybold.bsky.social

“In his Instagram post, Encina thanked Gomez, the Getty photographer, whose presence on the train he said was ‘quietly reassuring.’ In the interview, he said seeing a photographer there gave him some comfort because someone was documenting what was happening.”

My god these people must have spent their entire lives ignoring or demeaning every educator, writer, artist, and musician, amateurs and pros, and their students and audiences. These losers have no idea what it means to be alive.

1/ I looked at 20 years of Supreme Court decisions and found that for the first time, all nine justices decided more cases by secret ballot — aka the “shadow docket” — than it did for cases argued in open court last term. 🧵:

I think this might be one of the most incredible, unsettling and symbolic photos of today’s America I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop looking at it. From Reuters, published on the Guardian website.

seeing more of a particular brand of aggro post lately ("if you weren't a coward you'd be doing xyz thing that would have you dead or in jail" from posters who appear to themselves neither be dead or in jail). could just be feds/bots/trolls trying to entrap people on here but a PSA just in case

Basically: the extremely onerous bureaucratic process the Vatican is invoking here is to make absolutely certain that any priest who leaves the society to return to communion with the Church is not doing it as an agent of sabotage, and making it VERY clear they are being given a chance--

In a case of the truth having unintended consequences, it’s an established fact that 80-90% of silent movies are lost. So, it’s pretty common for people to watch a few and figure they know a lot because there aren’t that many, right? But the surviving 10-20% is tens of thousands of films!

The Warcraft II instruction manual was the size of a small novel. I used to borrow it from my friend in middle school just to read it before I got the game. Those were the days indeed

The handwriting an apology letter is so good. 10/10 perfect use of Catholic guilt.

The human mind cannot comprehend this: “And if the launches were spaced perfectly evenly, the firing rate would no longer be in the realm of countable rhythm; it would be in the realm of pitch. The F above middle C vibrates at about 349 cycles per second. The show averages 354 events per second.“

We're so starving for consequences we're reading Vatican press releases

one of many reasons i love @dataforprogress.org is that their polling pretty consistently shows that the american people > our government. and of course their work on how to effectively communicate w/ the american people is priceless. IF THE DEMS WOULD FUCKING LISTEN

She's being so big and brave. #art #comic #sphynx #mythicalcreature #kaijufluffsart

As a child, I would ask for ketchup on my hotdog at Wrigley field and they were always “out of it”. A child does not know sin, but may still commit sin I put ketchup on a hotdog as a private citizen and suddenly I’m at war with Chicago. I can never return

Everybody in the "climate space" (which means everyone on earth...) needs to understand these mind-blowing figures. Google's "total electricity consumption jumped from 31 terawatt hours (TWh) in 2024 to 43 TWh in 2025." In ONE year. The AI corporate arms race is eating the world.

OH SHIT DUDES THE VATICAN HAS WEIGHED IN AND THEY ARE BIG MAD 🔥🔥🔥

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

Ad Rock: you can disagree with the current All: POPE MCA: but if you push his buttons then you’re a All: DOPE Mike D: ordain yourself a bishop and you’re All: SCHISMATIC Ad Rock: excommunication is All: AUTOMATIC

she ordain on my bishop til I excommunicate her heretical sect

genuinely curious about the worms in this guy’s brains. seriously beginning to wonder if he is entertaining election denialism.

Hey, Margaret Bates is a graduate student who's doing a study on romance book buying behaviors and would like your input, if you have a chance. forms.office.com/r/b6E8qJV8Tm

As a general rule, schisms like the ones with SSPX and GAFCON (Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans, the Anglican schismatics) actually result in the mainline church becoming MORE liberal, since all the conservative members leave. So, enjoy that, gang!

I fear I am now planning a spring break trip to London. I would love to turn off my "King John" google alert. www.broadwayworld.com/westend/arti...

If you can’t handle me at my worst (eating cake with my hands in the shower), then you don’t deserve me at my best (eating cake with a fork in the shower)

Or we could have this, from Copenhagen

one thing i find funny is that the founding generation would likely have been very enthusiastic about, say, muslim immigrants and intensely skeptical of all the catholics

The C of E doesn't have saints but they'll never stop people from trying...

Once again, there is no gender equality without our trans community. There is no feminism without our trans community.

I just went to a 400 year old restaurant and bought apricot preserves from their bakery, and all you need in life is a fresh baguette, salty butter, and some house made jam from a 400 year old restaurant.

The next thing I want to do in bookbinding / repair is definitely a book concealment!

A few weeks ago I sat bolt upright in bed with this image in my mind as if imparted upon me by the coelacanth deity themself. Happy pride! Available as a sticker in my shop!

A promising approach to breaking big tech’s stranglehold on higher ed. “The committee’s…mandate is to mitigate the risks associated with…reliance on a limited number of dominant market players [including]…price hikes, lack of control over institutional data, and threats to academic integrity.”

Y’all I know a lot of things are real bad right now, but here’s one of them

Why don't you just check a bag? Isn't it easier? And you could for free? Bc I just pulled gate to gate in 40 minutes for an international connection at EWR. That's customs, A to B terminals via air train and bus, and security. This is also brought to you by global entry and pre-check, but still.

Symposium photo dump pt 2! We're also so grateful to all of our incredible speakers! 2/2
