He didn’t enter Jerusalem on an elephant

Thanks to Twitter, I went from a very casual red carpet enjoyer to looking forward to the Oscars and Met Gala every year simply bc of my alt twitter group chats

Catholic Match can either suggest matches and give you the choice as to whether or not you view a profile OR it can tell you when people view your profile but just throwing my ex’s whole ass profile at me with no warning, in a way that will make it look like I chose to view it, is uncalled for

Ok look. I AGREE that there is something cognitively wrong with the commander in chief. It’s not particularly ethical to publicly speculate as to WHAT is wrong when you don’t have access to his records etc. But. My biggest issue with this kind of bullshit is that IT IS NOT TRUE. AND HARMFUL.

Somehow swept with this hand despite having been ordered up by the imposing team for diamonds

Sticky rice and mangos is a top tier treat

Apple allergies

Something I didn’t consider when I agreed to be a godmother for my friend’s daughter was her dad taking a hard turn into the Catholic manosphere

Please pray for a dear friend of mine

When in another diocese, are you bound by their HDOs or your home diocese? I’m pretty sure it’s your home diocese but just want to confirm

Don’t post dumb shit tonight friends

Watching a medical drama that sends everyone into a lockdown for an unknown pathogen is a great reminder of how much I’m repressing COVID trauma 😵‍💫

Yeah, somehow the impetus is NEVER on men to more willing to commit. Or to become Better providers. Striking how many young guys yearn for Trad Wives while also admitting they don't have the means to be Trad Husbands.

Psych: operationalizing definitions of religious and spiritual among us college students Theology: uhhh I don’t remember except it was about sexual ethics and the priest prof was super weird about it and is now neither a priest or prof Honors: the development of JP2’s personalistic norm pre ToB

Modern medicine is truly miraculous in so many ways and it’s disgraceful what this administration is doing to generations of success

The line, “they recounted all that had been revealed to them on the Way,” struck me today, as I prepare for the Camino in a few weeks. I’d love to take your prayers with me on The Way—please feel free to message me and I will offer a mile for your intentions on this pilgrimage.

Project Hail Mary was so much better than I expected and I will be thinking about it for a while. And also I can’t believe it made me cry about a rock.

I’m helping my parents house hunt as they think about future planning and it’s painful in unexpected ways as I look at houses with very similar features as I thought I’d be looking for with my fiancé this time last year.

Guys the Catholic Church’s actual superpower against Trump and Vance is it has way more problems and people than the US. Literally the pope is worried about MANY wars. The pope is not on Bluesky obsessing. He’s busy. With the entire world.

Yeah the pope should stick to issues of morality, like “blowing up school children is wrong,” “the richest country on earth owes its residents certain things,” “the poor deserve to be treated with dignity” What do you think morality IS man?

Pope Leo manages to get under their skin in a way no one else does. They know he has clear moral authority, and they've thrown what little they have away. It's hard to fight a holy War for Christendom when the de facto head of Christendom says it's immoral.

Fact check: true. Pope Leo is a mortal man, higher than the angels in God’s ultimate plan, because God took on human nature rather than angelic.

I love this man

"Pope Leo is SLOW TO ANGER and GREAT IN MERCY!" - my friend Mercedes not on Bluesky

Especially on Divine Mercy Sunday which is like as close to the Dogma loophole as you can get

Does he know who was president during COVID

Finally, the liberal alternative to the MAGA hat.

Yeah I can see why people would doubt this admin would threaten Avignon. Sure.

How many repeats before world leaders learn to not meet with JD Vance during the Octave of Easter?

Peak (good, non heretical) Americanism is cheering as the Moon mission landed with the whole baseball stadium, right after singing the national anthem

"Haha TACO! He chickened out!" is a weird thing to say when he was threatening to kill millions of people. Did you... did you want him to NOT chicken out? What is the goal of the joke here? What is your commentary?

Canon Law nerds, would Colby have incurred an automatic excommunication bc of threatening the Pope (albeit implicitly)?

BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not resolving anything.” After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.

Would be grateful for prayers tomorrow. Gonna be a hard day.

Jesus Christ is Risen today, Alleluia! My dog celebrated by eating an entire pack of bacon I had accidentally left out unobserved.

I swear, taking a man’s last name was not so frequent a plot point in tv/movie/or book before last April when the decision not to do so upended my life but I would realllllllllllllly appreciate it fading into oblivion as a gesture of love and leaving my escapism intact.

A reflection I heard this week highlighted that Jesus never stops fighting for Judas, longing for him. In order to had him the morsel without revealing it to the whole room, Judas had to have been close to Him. Jesus keeps Judas close to his heart until Judas himself moves away.

When the American Pope tells American marines to stop waging an American war, hard to get more conscientious than that!

ISO Commentaries on “and the bodies of many saints were raised”

Went to a talk by Cory Booker last night about why virtuous politics still matter in this moment, and in fact matter more in the dark. Is there a Conservative politician making this kind of case rn?

Me when I say the rosary

The funniest email I’ve ever gotten as a federal employee is an invitation to attend a retirement seminar about TSP and FERS (both govt retirement accts) to avoid unnecessary or avoidable taxes.

I did an hour long consultation call to help a non Catholic therapist provide culturally competent care and I forgot how much I loved that shit

My best friend and I imagined very different versions of today last year—she, having her baby, me, looking at wedding venues—so instead we got pedicures and ate ice cream bc if you’ve gotta be sad, might as well do it well.

Sometimes, federal record systems freeze when you’re in the middle of editing them, and then when you open it again, all your progress has been lost. QT unrelated.

Happy Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Foster Father of the Christ Child! There are many good, time honored ways to celebrate Good St. Joseph, and today I want to invite you to consider a new one:

Under the shadow of each other, people survive. Éirinn go Brach

My best friend (not catholic) has been away from any kind of religion or faith for nearly 10 years, but went to Mass with me a few weeks ago and she just told me that she felt “a soothing presence” and it lit a spark. I’m crying, please keep her in your prayers.
