"Baby so messy you can her Lionel!" -my wife about our 7-month-old daughter, who had food all over her face

Aw man. I waited too long to have a major Dead kick

Alright, I REALLY loved this movie. One of the best and most real portrayals of faith, church, and DEFINITELY a member of the clergy I've ever seen in popular media.

I'm briefly paused about a half hour into Wake Up Dead Man and wow, as a parish priest it hits almost uncomfortably hard. I've been, like, viscerally angry on behalf of the main character.

My first adult ed class on heresies was so well-received that I think I'm going to do another one this spring. Toying with 2 Heresies 2 Furious: Get in Loser; We're Doing Pelagianism as a title. ⚓

Podcast idea: two experts discuss their opinions and interpretations of mythology and folklore. Call it "My Favorite Myth-take"

It's weird to me that I haven't heard any commentators point out that no childcare professional would EVER let a random guy "see the children"

The Book of Common Prayer (1979) provides the Supplication for use "in times of war, or of national anxiety", beginning on page 154. Here is the full text 📕 🧵

A reminder to all that today is the 134th anniversary of the birth of J. R. R. Tolkien, and that it is customary to raise a glass of whatever you want at 9 PM local time to toast "The Professor!" www.tolkiensociety.org/society/even...

Prayers for our siblings in the Episcopal Diocese of Venezuela, part of Province IX of The Episcopal Church. It's a good day for the Supplication. ⚓

“In these dangerous and uncertain times, the world needs wise and courageous leaders for peace, rather than the proliferation of conflicts and the normalization of international illegality…” oikoumene.org/news/wcc-con...

It's striking how many tech companies and products are named for *evil* (or at least used-for-evil) bits of Tolkien's universe

For real though

New isometric exercise: orans during Prayer D ⚓

A blessed feast of St. Stephen today! Thank you to all deacons out there bringing Christ's love to the poor and the marginalized. Your ministry is important and your leadership is essential to the Church. ⚓

Rare footage of St Paul’s Cathedral testing its giant flamethrower

Does anyone know who's doing the Daily Office Chanted podcast? It's lovely. ⚓

This is a seasonal public service announcement about the fact that the 12 Days of Christmas are not a countdown to Christmas Day. They BEGIN on Christmas Day. 🎄⚓ (I fully realize this is a futile speech.) (I'm just screaming into the void.) (Kyrie eleison.)

"Grindset" no longer belongs to men who do day trading. It is now the name of the aesthetic genre that encapsulates and is inspired by Jet Set Radio (Japan, Global) / Jet Grind Radio (US)

Heck of a super power

I really don't need *every app* to give me a year in review. Like I have no desire to see what all I looked up on Wikipedia in 2025.

This is extremely important

Tell you what, Anglicans might not have quite as deep a bench as the Roman church, but we DO have Madeleine L'Engle and C. S. Lewis and Dorothy Sayers, and that's pretty good ⚓

HARD BOILED DETECTIVE: another cruel sunrise over the city of the damned. another corpse. another widow. another cup of black coffee to drag my sorry ass back to life- *sputtering* ME: do you like it? it's an ethiopian washed process single origin DETECTIVE: ME: are you getting apricot notes

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Okay why is the OT lesson for the Feast of Dorothy L. Sayers Judges 3:15-30 ⚓

Kind of sad that my local hospital system has a 20-second recording of basically "if you're mean to us we'll hang up" before you can get anyone on the phone.

After compline, during which we read Psalm 91: Me: "Pinions" are what they have in Australia. Here in the US we have "opinions" My wife: ... It's really a miracle that she puts up with me

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.

He will come like last leaf’s fall. One night when the November wind has flayed the trees to the bone, and earth wakes choking on the mould, the soft shroud’s folding.

"Beware of any Christian movement that acts as though the world is full of enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved. Beware of any Christian movement that demands the government be an instrument of God's wrath, but never a source of God's mercy, generosity, or compassion."

When Jesus fed the 5000 there were 12 baskets left over, yeah? Where did the baskets come from? ⚓

this is mesmerizing

Guess I'm a REAL Episcopal priest now ⚓

I’m not sure I’ll bring myself to watch this new documentary Thoughts and Prayers on HBO about the active shooter preparedness industry. But just this clip shows how twisted we’ve let our society get. What we’ve done to our kids. It’s absolutely unacceptable. Gun reform, NOW!

That guy's on a mission from God

I am playing D&D with five friends via Zoom and we’re all in our fifties and my young teen self knowing this would be happening would be so happy and satisfied.

Cheap grace is extremely tempting, but reconciliation requires repentance and amendment of life. It does no one any good to blindly and naively "forgive."

WHAT

A world without transgender people has never existed and never will. To all transgender people out there: You are not alone.

Wow CPG really doesn't sugarcoat things huh ⚓

Jesus having the term “in-app purchases” explained to him and just wordlessly filling a sock with nickels

Before you ask, no, I don’t think we should make an AI Jesus. I think 1. That’s some idolatry nonsense and 2. That sounds like how you start a robot war. Good grief.
