I mean, say what you want about a God that judges evil, but that thought is what's mostly keeping me sane right now tbh

right now: february 2026 (Been a while--not that a ton of you are reading this anyway, but this is a good exercise for me and I have fun, so who cares.) Making: the same blanket I've been working on for almost a year; a Clapotis in Cascade 220 Superwash, in a now-discontinued colorway called Roses…

Ok this is not a drill: voting has started in the TX 2026 primary elections Houston voters: I can't stress this enough - you should be reading the @lwvhouston.bsky.social voter guide, it has literally all the info you need all in one place for free 🧵 irp.cdn-website.com/af2f04f7/fil...

Happy Year of the Horse 🎉 🐴

a random thought I just had: you know how one of the people Peter denies Jesus to is a servant girl? wouldn't it be nuts if that was Rhoda from Acts 12

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in P4A this year, which surpassed $4 MILLION RAISED! The livestream is over, but there’s still time to donate and vote for the charities you care about. projectforawesome.com

So I'm in an online community that raised money to open the Maternal Center of Excellence in Sierra Leone, in west Africa, which among other things has the nation's first ever NICU(!). The Center opened recently and I'm happy to report that the first baby was delivered there today, a girl.

Frederick Douglass was born into slavery in February, 1818. He later chose to celebrate his birthday on February 14th.

James Van Der Beek, a heartthrob who starred in coming-of-age dramas at the dawn of the new millennium, shooting to fame playing the titular character in "Dawson's Creek" and in later years mocking his own hunky persona, has died. https://to.pbs.org/3Zwmi0G

The Ents are going to war

"Can you clear your cache and cookies then try it again?' "Here, let me show you how to do [x]--" "Where are we with that license agreement?"

the Washington Post layoffs are awful in every regard. I am under no pretense that Trump-glazing collateral damage was intended as an intelligent biz decision. However, I want to address closing its sports desk. If you want to do journalism that gets eyeballs, sports is the LAST desk to close.

An 11-year-old girl from Columbia Heights remains in ICE detention at the Dilley, Texas facility — where measles cases have been reported — sparking concern among family, community members and advocates.

I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them, and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals I will not look upon.

A fun break from the Present Horrors, if you need it: This is a paper called Uncleftish Beholding, written in a language called Anglish, which is like English if you only kept the Germanic parts (no Latin/Greek/French/etc.) msburkeenglish.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

Never mind jobs you had, tell me five classes you took at university 1. Screenplay and Scriptwriting 2. Early Celtic Literature 3. Critical Thinking 4. The Bildungsroman 5. Women Writers

Between February 6 and February 22, the following are happening: - The Winter Olympics - The Super Bowl - Valentine's Day - Lunar New Year - Mardi Gras - Ash Wednesday Good luck, everyone

1) This is a good way to die early 2) No one I know that is attracted to men would be attracted to this, I don't think 3) Say what you want about religion, at least most normie forms of it will give you more meaning than whatever this is

You can run on for a long time You can run on for a long time You can run on for a long time Sooner or later God'll cut you down

I know all eyes are on Minneapolis, but there's a fast-approaching nightmare in Springfield, Ohio. Trump is revoking protected status for tens of thousands of Haitians living there on Feb. 3. Reportedly, on Feb. 4, 1000 ICE agents are arriving to remove this population. Ethnic cleansing.

I cannot prove this, but I have a theory that if you picked 10 random women from any church anywhere they could start a pretty decent event planning firm

Obedience to the earthly powers for its own sake is not the goal; obedience to the greater law of love is.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Keith Porter, another man killed by ICE. Keith Porter. Alex Pretti. Renee Nicole Good. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Alex Pretti was an ICU nurse serving veterans. He died trying to protect protestors being assaulted. A group of anonymous & masked men fired chemicals into his face, beat him, disarmed him, and shot him in broad daylight in front of witnesses. Then his government smeared him & defended his murder.

I said this last time but their real position is “if you disagree with us we can kill you.”

Imagine what’s happening in the camps.

Hold on. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvMM...

When my family and 120,000 other Japanese American were sent to prison camps in WWII, the government only allowed propaganda photos of things like schools and baseball games to be published. A school in a prison is evidence of evil, none of these people, especially children, should be imprisoned

Good news, kind of: www.usatoday.com/story/news/n... (I mean, the minors shouldn't have been taken in the first place and God knows what's happening to the people that are still there, but this is something at least.)

Horror movie Sinners has a record 16 nominations this year, including for best picture, actor Michael B. Jordan and a new category: achievement in casting.

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you've seen - Punch Brothers/Anais Mitchell - DC Talk/Newsboys/The Ws (listen, I was 14) - Jason Isbell and the 500 Unit - Wilco a couple of times in the 2010s - Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God tour about 5 or 6 times, I think?

“unassuming diplomat with a penchant for bureaucracy saves 48,000 lives through signing his name and tricking Parliament into his scheme” is an incredible thing that, by definition, is still possible today, if our politicos had the will

a few random thoughts for the day: - Asian Americans and Latinos have always occupied a weird but similar space in the racial politics in this country and we should hang out with each other more - I appreciate the unironic resurgence of love for places like Chili's - We should listen to more jazz

In my 20s I started praying, as long as I am of more service to the kingdom of God as an unmarried person than a married one, please keep me single. And thus far the answer has been "okay, sure."

it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and not by being as unproblematic as possible, for it is God who works in you to care about actually important things and act on them, to his good pleasure

If you live in the Cities, an easy way to help immigrant families in hiding is: laundry! Laundromats are ICE magnets, so people without washers need help. The People’s Laundry will drop off laundry to your door to wash and dry and pick up a few days later: thepeopleslaundrympls.com/volunteer/

"you should have just complied" is a form of prosperity gospel

stuff I fully enjoy while also agreeing with many of the criticisms leveled against them: - the musical Hamilton - the Olympics/World Cup - awards shows - the Astros

This is your periodic reminder that the Christian tradition has maintained from the beginning that what is legal is not equivalent to what is morally good or just

one thing i love about houston is that we just signed a guy to our baseball team this week and he already has a nickname and it's for one of the interstates that runs through town

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal immigration officers shoot and wound 2 people in Portland, Oregon, authorities say.

fortitude is one of the classical virtues and I am keenly aware of how many of my fellow Americans do not possess it
