not even lying I think this is the third or fourth time I’ve tried to talk someone down from ascribing a clear and consistent motive to an act of political violence by shouting “THERE IS AN ENTIRE MUSICAL ABOUT THIS”

Lovely service at Exeter Cathedral this morning. Good Shepherd & Vocations Sunday. We blessed new Eucharistic assistants and lay pastoral visitors. It’s always moving to me the way that the work of the church is so similar across contexts. ⚓️

Okay, if IT happens while I’m out of the country, I’ll never forgive myself.

The British/American English divide is so odd because we are using the same words to mean entirely different things.

wait wait I know just such an institution, in fact I work at one

Saw some big old rocks today.

These kinds of people are surely in a hell of their own making.

Clocking in at 4:55 and receiving a full day’s wages might destroy the economy (yes I know that one is a parable)

As I messaged @josephpmathews.bsky.social yesterday, all my homies hate the BMI (Body Mass Index).

I realized on Saturday, biking to and from the gym, how much I love getting to take in the smells (positive) of the city. Warm, sugary dough from the bakeries, fried chicken, whatever was cooking at the Cherry Blossom Festival, etc.

What is the best movie to watch on an airplane and why is it CRAZY RICH ASIANS?

The other day I mis-typed it as “ChaatGPT” which made me think of a LLM that generates delicious Indian food.

Musk and Zuck and Thiel and Altman and the rest are some of the unhappiest people to ever live, and they all seem willing to destroy the world in their search for just a moment of contentment. Not great for the rest of us.

Easter 4 be like ⚓

Look, not to defend anyone in the Trump administration, but it's a little weird (not actually weird given misogyny) that all of the people to leave/resign/etc. have been women, right?

I’m not even in the office yet, and already, I’m like, what the heck is going on today?!?!

So we’re going to England for my husband to do this faery workshop with some of his design heroes, and at the end of the week is a faery feast so I’m putting together a fit.

Dr Pepper wouldn't "kill the average Victorian child" for the simple reason that most Victorian children are already dead

I don’t know why there is chatter about COVID-time social isolation, but it really sucked to make the hard (& correct!) decision to have a 5-person wedding in 2020 when other people went ahead with their full plans.

I'm going to lose my mind. "Just one more lane, bro. Just one more lane. I promise, bro. This'll be the last lane."

A Fairlife chocolate protein shake and an Uncrustable is the lunch of champions.

Good news! I am approved to travel to the UK, which, given that I leave on Thursday, is a bit of a relief.

This meeting could’ve been a nap.

“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.” Originally made as a screen print in 1990, we now offer this thought-provoking poster digitally printed on heavy cover stock.

Stopped by the dispensary to get the THC beverages I like, and the cashier wished me a happy 4/20. I almost jokingly said, “I’m a Christian and I don’t celebrate these pagan holidays.”

3 services, teaching an adult forum, and a 20s/30s group event this afternoon. Priest powers activate! ⚓️

I don’t want to think about how many times I’ve watched the Peloton Hudson Williams commercial.

Last night I watched THE ALABAMA SOLUTION, and that’s a documentary that’s going to stick with me a while.

First time, whatever. After correction, come ON. More common than mispronunciation is people getting my last name wrong because it’s hyphenated.

Me when my parents call me at a slightly unusual time: Someone has either died or gotten arrested.

A weird thing about living in California is seeing my friends from other places post gas prices to show how high they are, and my response is, “Wow, that’s a good deal.”

SF/Bay Area friends, my spouse is remixing his Science & Psychology of Muppet Design lecture THIS TUESDAY. It will sell out so grab tickets if you're interested! www.eventbrite.com/e/lectures-o...

I’m currently in charge of social media for my husband’s puppet business and my church. What could possibly go wrong?

My LA 28 Olympics ticket drop slot is this morning, but I’ve heard that there’s basically nothing left and it’s all horridly expensive. 😭

do NOT call me a NIMBY. I FULLY support new housing if it is AFFORDABLE, passes my personal VIBE check, will not be lived in by people I consider UNCOOL and is constructed only when the MOON is waxing, upon the APPROPRIATE ley lines

Now we know that the Q in the Q source stands for Quentin Tarantino! (Niche I know)

What was the book that you read in class for middle school/high school that you HATED? Mine was Willa Carter’s MY ANTONIA.

Exactly one year ago today:

Me: I'm going to pack as lightly as I can for this trip to England. Husband: BTW, there's a faery ball at the end of the workshop, and I'm sewing fiber optic lights onto your wings, so you better come correct.

Husband-wife murder-suicides really freak me out. Given the news lately, I'm like, why would I trust a man?

Preparing to teach a primer in Anglican History on Sunday, and it's making it even more funny that people are like, "how DARE the Pope put his thumb on matters of politics?!" ⚓

Here’s a link to the full statement from the Archbishop of Canterbury ⚓️: www.archbishopofcanterbury.org/news/archbis...

Our parish retreat next month is currently sold out, and of all the things I’m in charge of as part of my job, it might be my favorite. 🎉🎉🎉 ⚓️

Started reading THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES because it takes place where I’ll be by the end of next week (Dartmoor)!

Catholic leaders need to stay out of politics. Except when they are endorsing Trump or denying Democratic politicians communion.

A Reddit post referred to AllBirds as "the quarter-zip of footwear" and I am WHEEZING.

I'm old enough to remember that the Archbishop of San Francisco denied communion to Nancy Pelosi, and she wasn't beefing with THE ENTIRE APPARATUS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Part of the Just War tradition is a commitment to the idea that all killing is wrong and all participants in war must engage in penitence upon returning home.

Augustine rises from the grave just to yell at JD Vance about 'justice and war' on Fox News. Vance tells him he should get good at theology. DHS arrests Augustine for being African.
