I converted to Catholicism two weeks ago. Here's why I hate Jesus and the Pope.

I know it's easter now, but I wanted to offer my maundy thursday sermom for anyone who has encountered death open.substack.com/pub/egnlafle...

I am poured out like water

not that I'm complaining, but this cafe pretty much only ever plays the fleet foxes self titled

Good news lads, incredibly normal about the Tantum Ergo again

April is in my mistress' face, so jot that down

Fascinating by @piercepenniless.bsky.social & refreshing that it doesn't shy away from discussing the exploitative aspect of pederastic homosexual desire. Also, I as ever find myself asking how we historically locate & describe those who loved & lusted for men & women www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

tuesday in holy week: you would have to put off Sense and notion. You are not here to verify, Instruct yourself, or inform curiosity Or carry report. You are here to kneel Where prayer has been valid. (T.S. Eliot, Little Gidding)

Holy Week and Trans Visibility - in which I reflect on Jesus' body, Trans Day of Visibility, and how our bodies come to have meaning 🕯️

Something terrible's happened.

saw a recent claim that eggs and bunnies were 'culturally appropriated' from pagan Eostre worship and felt my eye begin to twitch

'but what do eggs and rabbits have to do with Jesus' is as historically oblivious a comment as 'what does a bloke riding around on a herring have to do with Jesus' They both have to do with Lent and the observation of Lent

the best of wives is fresh air (happy spring)

Sex, death and whaling (which is sex and death)

although they do carnally and visibly press with their teeth

I joke you not, I read a section of the sermon at my unitarian grandfather's funeral

And a very happy Worm Moon to all who celebrate

Yin yoga updates: thought about the preface for Lent 1 inc. chant pointing while I lay on the floor (because you bid your faithful people to cleanse their hearts...).

Seek him that made the Pleiades and Orion

‘And behold, on the day after Ash Wednesday the King did send officers to take his brother in charge, and upon Holy Island a wondrous prodigy, a rock with the teeth of a man, etc.’

I often quote this one

One of the priests who went into the Beoadview facility, Fr. Paul Keller (speaking here), said he felt "a society with dirty hands actually asking for the forgiveness of those who are being detained, as opposed to encouraging them to repent of their sins."

"Today many of you live in fear of being marked and tracked, careful about names, identities, and lists. But today, you step forward freely to receive this mark, the sign of the cross." - Cupich

“This too is a day for those who are made to feel like dust, dust that can be swept away or treated as if they do not belong. It is a day for those who work with the dust of the earth in construction, in cleaning, in harvesting the crops of the fields, all to support their families.” - Cupich
