Time for convention… South Dakota.

Well. Well. Well. The Tigers did it. Good win. On to Seattle!!!

There are 3 Pizza Huts in South Dakota (4 if you include an “express”).

Tigers win! Wow. Can we do it again tomorrow?

We remember…

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

On its birthday, share one image from your favorite #TNG episode.

The Tigers are in the playoffs…

Wounded Knee is a dark stain upon our nation’s history. We must remember it for what it truly was, not for what white nationalists would have it be.

Now this is a quote. “that the ACNA is nothing more than a power-hungry, litigious-minded, increasingly woke TEC II.” But I have no idea what the word woke means in this sentence.

This administration is at war with history and the people of this country. It was a massacre of unarmed Lakota. Stop white washing history.

The Tigers……won!?!

yo, the fact Trump's latest EO declares that "rioting" is Domestic Terrorism is hilariously ironic cause that's what January 6th was... and we all know for some reason THAT doesn't count... but also, Philly "riots" when The Eagles win. this EO is SO illegal and SO stupid and SO fascist it hurts.

Drove by their place for years. Never wanted to stop.

So… let’s start watching some hockey. Go Red Wings!!

The Tigers really have stopped playing. It is excruciating to watch their demise.

Watching the Detroit Tigers blow another lead and lose…

I can't stop laughing at the unintentional comedy of this.

I had no idea that the (wicked) doctrine of qualified immunity had its roots in SCOTUS’s rejection of claims against police filed in response to the arrest of fifteen Episcopal priests who desegregated a bus station in Jackson in 1966.

I think this comparison is largely right. Yes, it’s a replay of McCarthyism’s ugliest aspects but that was fueled by a widespread sense that the country faced dire external dangers while this is about a deeply unpopular president’s grudges.

⚓monastic wisdom? All of life has ups and downs (some lasting a long time.) The cycle keeps repeating, but it does not have to dictate what we do or how we act. Accept the joys and sorrows as gifts and let them help us grow, but don't allow them to control us. - Br. Abraham (St. Gregory's Abbey

Are we listening?

I've got some extra copies of There Is No Place for Us, and I'd love to give away 5 signed books. Just repost, like, or comment to signal your interest. I'll pick names at random on Friday. Totally optional: feel free to share how the struggle for stable housing shows up in your life or community.

Gracious Creator, who gave us Jesus, the Savior remember the challenges of his family's life and turn our hearts to the ones who suffer today. We want to close borders and shut out refugees thinking we are protecting our precious homeland and are instead shutting out the living spirit of God…

I mean every word of it…

White washing of history… Park Service Is Ordered to Take Down Some Materials on Slavery and Tribes www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/c...

Tigers won. Lions won. Michigan won. Finally.

Noooooooooooooo

“A month ago, another young man was taken from us, also with a wife and two young children. David Rose was the police officer who rushed to the CDC when employees were under attack from a gunman…President Trump never praised him or offered condolences.” www.thebulwark.com/p/kirk-killi...

Eventually he arrived with a basket thrown over his back, which was leaking out sand. When asked why he carried the basket, Saint Moses stated, “I carry behind me my manifold sins where I cannot see them, & I come to judge my brother?” On hearing this, the other monks also forgave the guilty brother

it’s really interesting the right wants people removed from their jobs for saying insensitive things about Kirk’s death but didn’t want that for George Floyd’s death actually it’s not interesting, it’s just racist

For today and everyday…

Such a sad story too. Nimbyism. False information. Individualism gone amok. And that county will stay poor.

Age Verification? I tasted New Coke.

The Supreme Court just ruled this meme is constitutional.

A Church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a Gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed—what Gospel is that? --Oscar Romero ⚓️

Watching Michigan and Detroit the past two days…

In the face of death, live humanly. In the middle of chaos, celebrate the Word. Amidst Babel, speak the truth....Know the Word, teach the Word, nurture the Word, preach the Word, defend the Word, incarnate the Word, do the Word, live the Word. --William Stringfellow

"Living our vocation to be protectors of God’s handiwork is essential to a life of virtue; it is not an optional or a secondary aspect of our Christian experience." –Pope Francis

⚓Please keep our postulants in your prayers, that they may find the deep joy of monastic life, and that the novicemaster (me) does not impede them in their 5 1/2 year journey to life vows. - Br. Abraham (St. Gregory's Abbey)

Very nice two days of football talk on here, good job everyone. Drink water and rest up for Sunday.

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

Luther spittin' straight fire is the medicine I needed this week: "It is not we who can sustain the Church, nor was it our forefathers, nor will it be our descendants. It was and is and will be the One who says: "I am with you always, even unto the end of the world."
