I am 5 inches taller and I have bad news (it’s that all the pants still scrape the ground)

"They also serve who only stand and wait." (Milton, Sonnet XIX)

Bari's CBS moves have been reminding me a *lot* of church plants. Always launching with flashing neon promises about being the different kind of church you've been waiting for and then you show up on Sunday morning ready to be dazzled and it's just John Piper with tattoos.

Already made chocolate chip cookies this weekend and making orange rolls today. Fresh baked goods and snow days just go together. Only thing worth getting off the couch for honestly.

Something I wish more folks knew about evangelical (eva) culture—at least as I've experienced it—is that evas actually LOVE books and reading. Eva publishing is huge business & eva men I know inhale books. Sadly that avidity backfires when your inputs are propaganda; you just consume poison faster.

[voicemail from the vet clinic just now] we’ve been trying to reach you about your cat’s extended warranty

My Mignonette is ~6 months old this week! (She was abandoned so age is a guesstimate.) She is petite and silly and indisputably the best thing to happen to me last year 🖤

“Skyrizi” sounds like Gen Z slang, not a medication intended for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis

The realest person in the Bible is John who used every opportunity possible to let us know that he was Jesus’s favorite. His entire book is like “for God so loved the world but he loved me the most, bitches”

Please shush your merriment so we can rest up for our busy royal itinerary of Mayhem and Destruction

I have a great idea, what if people stopped expecting me to do stuff. I feel like I have done enough stuff

“Jesus was born in April actually” “Yes Mary did know” “The wise men weren’t there the same night as the shepherds” Bruh have you ever just had fun with something

Wake Up Dead Man was surprisingly healing for those of us who have rejected fundamentalism but still consider ourselves people of faith.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

My grandmother had this same edition of Curtain he talks about his grandparents having. Idk what happened to her Agatha Christie collection after she passed.

Nobody will remember: - your salary - how “busy you were” - how many hours you worked People will remember: - that you went to Lawson's just before Christmas for garden rakes and hayseed and came home with TWENTY. POUNDS. OF BROWN. SUGAR.

A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

After-dinner head scritches. The face of true contentment. #caturday

i reiterate my case that the true alpha in any given group is the mum friend with spare pads and cheesy crackers and a mysterious number of packs of wet wipes

but they're supposed to read what i want them to read they're ruining everything by having the wrong kind of good time

Congress SHOULD be voting to reopen PARTY CITY and JOANN FABRICS and not the GOVERNMENT

Six seven now I know how our parents felt listening to us yell WASSSUPPPPP all the live long day

My little croissant 🥐 #Caturday

When I bake something, I take some to the owner of my fave spot. (His husband is a big fan of my lemon bars in particular.) He makes these shots that taste like an espresso martini, and when he shakes up a new batch he’ll wave me over to “test” it for free.

it's crazy that if you're a cat, your only two life outcomes are eating out of a trash can or getting treated like a little baby

i need to visit a big old bookshop that's a borderline fire hazard, please

this home is also amazing. 4 bed, 2 bath, 3.5k square foot home with a parlor, study, and dining room with original tiger oak and parquet floors. pool and private garden in the back. price is $635k. just minutes from amtrack 119 Academy Street, Poughkeepsie, NY 12601

These tiny paws that appeared in my living room seem to be gently snoring…

And people tell me the libs have no knack for messaging.

a high armhole allows for freer and more comfortable movement

everything about the attempt to co-opt the language of social justice to promote AI personhood makes my skin absolutely crawl that people are doing it in the current political environment, where the most basic human rights are crumbling before our eyes, is as bleak as it gets for me

Tis a gift to be basic, tis a gift to be cringe

Google having the old school logo today for whatever reason is kind of pissing me off because it just reminds me of when it used to work significantly better

Finally I can do my own #Caturday posts! Meet Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess of Genovia, addressed simply as "Mignonette". Still a little confused by her new surroundings.

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

Today’s Bible verse is Matthew 26:52: “Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.”

It turns out she was right about…a lot. (So was Hillary Clinton.)

Passion of the Christ 2: Electric Boogaloo

My favorite French word is “avocat” because it could mean “lawyer” or it could mean “avocado”. It’s really up to you.

Me every time I get a Dunkin coffee: maybe this will be the one that tastes good

WILL THE WH PRESS TEAM MESS THIS UP AS MUCH AS KENSINGTON MESSED UP KATEGATE Gosh I hope so

Okay, hear me out. A Lord of the Rings re-make but with these two taking the One Ring to Mordor:

So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
