As someone who studied classical voice with the ultimate aim of performing in operas, I obviously have a take on Chalamet’s commentary. When I was a kid, my first exposure to opera felt like the first place where I saw the big emotions that I felt portrayed in a public way.

remember you can always burn Shein clothes for petroleum

I asked my husband if he wanted to come, and he asked, “is that there we sit in boxes and there are little singing moppets?” ⚓️

It’s about time that we acknowledge people like Andy Ogles have beliefs that are incompatible with America

On a dangerous vocational high in which I strolled into my spouse’s office and declared, “I’m smart and gorgeous and good at my job.”

Guess who learned a half-hour ago that she's now officiating Thursday's evensong at Grace Cathedral because the bishop is out of town! ⚓

I went to EPN and now I’m unsubscribing from 80 email lists. I lived it.

Its hard for me to get excited about voters turning on Trump. Like if a man tries to overthrow the nation in 2020 and voters are so stupid they re-elect him four years later, the chance that they'll forget about this is so high. 2024 revealed this nation had issues much bigger than Trump.

How will this affect the Riyadh comedy scene

Like I said, I didn’t preach today BUT IF I DID, I would’ve referenced Heated Rivalry and romance genre tropes to explain what John is doing with Jesus and the woman at Jacob’s well. It’s a subverted meet-cute. Big “Will you come to my well this summer?” vibes. ⚓️

I have found the most niche Eucharistic Prayer C necklace ever ⚓️

I really wish that I’d gotten to preach today because there’s so much good stuff with the Samaritan woman at the well. Plus it’s International Women’s Day.

a car is not a symbol of freedom; it's a symbol of your government's dereliction of duty to provide basic infrastructure that produces a social good (which most comparable countries have in spades) bc it's not really a government, but rather the functional sockpuppet of a greedy, reckless industry

Figured out a DST hack. Simply spend the week before DST on the East coast, then fly back to the West coast the day before the change. Voila! You’re up early and have no idea what time it is!

Every new far right take has lived a prior life as a throwaway Kenneth Parcell line to n 30 Rock

since women's day is an hour shorter this year, women will be taking that hour from another day at some point during the year. we don't tell you when, but it will happen

Somehow in the 5 days I was away from home, my hair grew 3 inches and now is making me nutty.

May God have mercy on our souls.

The higher gas prices go, the more insufferable I’ll be about riding transit/using my e-bike.

Regular brain: Zootopia 2 is about Palestine Expanding brain: Zootopia 2 is about the Federal Urban Renewal Program established by the Housing Act of 1949. Galaxy brain: Zootopia 2 is a rom-com.

I’m really struggling with this. There is a lot in the world that hurts my heart, but this seems particularly awful.

I think I hit Spring Break travel because CLT is popping off.

My Lyft driver was originally from Costa Rica, and we were bemoaning the quirks of the English language. He was very funny telling me about the first time he heard the Southern phrase “over yonder,” which he pronounced with a “j.”

SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN

I think 5 days of church conference has confirmed to me that I am indeed an introvert. I love people. I love talking with them. And I also need to clock out of being “on” for 8-12 hour days.

The conference is over but I don’t leave until tomorrow, so I did something I don’t do in SF - walk around Target just for funsies while they play country music.

I would simply choose to design a hotel room bathroom that didn’t have the worst possible lighting for applying makeup, but what do I know?

Yeah, the job market may be shrinking but at least groceries and housing are unaffordable.

Congratulations, WaPo, you did it, you published the worst take

If someone gave me a dollar for every time someone in the past few weeks has remarked that I have a good memory, I could at least buy a fancy coffee.

I would not overthink this administration's reasoning for going to war. They thought it would go perfectly, like Venezuela did, & it didn't...because the two situations are vastly different, & these guys are incredibly fucking stupid

yet another thing Mike Johnson hasn't heard about

And when it’s dangerous, it’s a lot less fun. I love riding my bike. I hate swerving around cars/trucks parked in bike lanes, double parked, and worrying about drivers turning into me because they’re looking at their phones.

Yesterday was a banner night for Presbyterians: James Talarico, who clinched the Democratic nomination for Texas Senate, got his M.Div. from the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, and is heavily involved in his local PC (USA) congregation.

Live-reporting from EPN - the millennial clergy girlies are carrying Le Pliage totes and wearing Rothy’s and Quince.

I’m not sure the booths about Holy Land pilgrimages are going to do so great this week at EPN.

I know we know this, but every time I see a video of Trump talking, it’s very clear that that is not a well man.

I’m a modern person who understands science, but part of my brain is like, “ah yes, the blood red moon is an omen of doom and destruction.”

Are men okay

That’s not how this works! That’s not how ANY OF THIS works!

I love living in San Francisco, but it is nice to be back in the American South amongst my people (yappers).

you know, this is why you should not elect people who have never once learned anything about anything

Terminal 1 at SFO is truly an elite travel experience.

Love to try to pack for a trip and immediately realize I hate all of the clothes I own.

A strategy that’s always paid off for me is having at least one container of soup in the freezer at all times in case of household illness. The way my husband’s face lit up when I said we had sausage & kale soup was totally worth it.

Looked this up and we do indeed get Super Bowl on Valentine’s Day which is also the Sunday of Presidents’ Day weekend (and the first Sunday in Lent).

That gambling is a part of this is horrifyingly evil.

Dusting off the old slogan of “bombing for peace is like [screwing] for virginity.”
