i really struggle to understand how anyone could behave this way. i mean, intellectually, i get it. i research monsters for a living. i know they’re real. but imagine slamming the cage door in a crying child’s face, having just confiscated her crayons. and then going home to your own family???

My last patch of snow from the January storm…it is in full sun, has survived multiple days of rain and 50+ temps. I almost feel like I should name it…

Does anyone know what is going on behind the Starbucks on 5th Street? I wish it was parking for the Rivanna Trail though that seems unlikely, but hopefully not a vape shop.

Closed till March 23rd…yikes www.cbs19news.com/news/constru...

Sometimes it is easy to disparage the youth, but y’all, the university students at our church are leading morning prayer during Lent, it is a beautiful thing. If you are in Charlottesville, please join us at St. Paul’s Memorial, each weekday at 8am for a brief service of Morning Prayer. ⚓️

If you are looking for an Ash Wednesday service, St. Paul’s Memorial (across from the Rotunda) has services at 7:30am, 12:15pm and 6:30pm. The 6:30 service will have some beautiful music by the choir too. ⚓️

Cville peeps- avoid the Emmett/JPA/Stadium rd area, things are hopelessly snarled around the construction site.

“Hold your head high, stick your chest out. It gets dark sometimes, but morning comes. Keep hope alive.” - Rev. Jesse Jackson

CHS parents, if your kid rides the blue bus, you might want to make sure they caught the bus! The blue bus ALWAYS runs at least 5 minutes late, today they have a different driver and he is running a couple minutes ahead of schedule. Way fewer kids on the bus today!!!

We used to live near Robert Duvall, it was neat running into him at the IGA, or at the farm co-op. He was at the restaurant seated next to us when we got engaged, he nodded and quietly said congratulations. In real life, he was quiet and polite, never drawing attention to himself. RIP Duvall 😢

i feel like this guy is my spiritual sibling

Goal for today is to be able to get vehicle in and out of driveway for the first time in 2+ weeks. Come on Sun, do your thing!!!

Really looking forward to the return of turn lanes throughout Charlottesville this week! (Will also be nice to access my driveway for the first time in 2 weeks!)

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I sincerely hope that JD Vance gets this reaction every single place he goes.

Hanging out in my backyard like he owns the place…

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

it’s fucking snowing

not saying he's necessarily in the organization, but this skull face mask was popular among members of the Proud Boys a few years ago

Turns out you can’t chisel ice with a separated shoulder. Spouse was struggling to breathe & had to seek urgent care - since the shoulder isn’t healed, the chest muscles went haywire & are preventing the lungs from doing their job. Now he has to chill & monitor his oxygen till he heals. #fuckice

Worked on breaking up the ice in my driveway again today, based on the current progress I expect to be finished by Easter.

Cville folks - is the regular trash/recycling running this week?

Cville traffic police are here at the bus stop, which is nice considering that the bus stop corner is piled high with ice, so the kids are gathering across the street.

Not Lamont too… 😢 2026 is brutal.

I drove around a bit today and cannot fathom how the kids could get to school safely on Monday. 😞

Speaking from an Altar Guild perspective, I love the idea of a “Protest Stole”.

I am so grateful to have leaders that are speaking up in this time. 🙏

It’s been one year since 67 lives were lost in the horrific crash between American Airlines flight 5342 and the Blackhawk helicopter. The 🧵 below puts names and faces to many of the lost. Thinking of all the families today. 🙏

Cville folks, here is another way to help our neighbors, a “shovel out your neighbor” service. www.cvillevolunteer.org/need/detail/...

Grateful that we have power but tired of this stupid ice.

It is encouraging to see faith leaders stepping up and speaking out

“But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’” “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?” The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.” Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.” ⚓️

Our friends at The Haven just sent a message asking for donations to support over 80 community members who are homeless that The Haven and other partners have placed in hotels during this winter weather. They need to raise $27k. Please consider donating today. www.thehaven.org/give-online

Please join me in supporting our neighbors in need

Chiseled another path through my sidewalk, if they plow it over again then I quit. Currently have my body wrapped in heating pads and ice packs. 🤪

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.

happening at the same time

As clergy pray, arrests begin

I was told it was an outrage when prayer and worship is disrupted.

Attended the 2026 MLK Community Celebration tonight. First, got to hear my daughter’s choir sing, then heard @imaniperry.bsky.social speak. She is a remarkable human, hearing her speak tonight, witnessing her conviction to speaking truth, seeing her graciousness, it was an amazing experience.

One year ago today, Biden was still President. I can hardly wrap my head around that fact.

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

There are some massive snowflakes falling right now!
