When science people say to stay non-partisan, it's like being nice vs. kind. "Nice" is surface-level, not disrupting the peace... but when one side disproportionately acts in conflict w/ science, silence is nice, but it sure as hell ain't kind. Sometimes being non-partisan is the immoral response.

New level of dystopia unlocked

This little fella was still wired at midnight, so I let him sleep in my bed. By the time my alarm went this morning, he'd successfully taken over the queen bed (yes, I'm squeezed onto the edge taking this pic)

Me, after spending one of my three days in England visiting Milton Keynes: (Excellent thread, btw. I'd watch Jane Bond over James any day!)

Peace to those who took a risk today & those who played it safe Peace to those who rested & those who hustled Peace to those who reached out & those who stayed alone Peace to those who prayed with words & those whose furious silence was their sacred prayer ~from my book, 365 Days of Peace

For those who haven’t yet seen this… I want to give credit where it is due but I don’t know the original creator/author!

For anyone looking for actually helpful ideas on how to support a single mom, presenting my weekend plans:

our neighbours are getting solar panels so the scaffolders showed up last week, and proceeded to install the scaffolding on the wrong house, so they came back today and dismantled it and are now reinstalling it on a different wrong house

I had a bit of time between other commitments today to get the house ready for company this weekend. Did I run the dishwasher? Nope. Did I sweep the floors or throw in a load of laundry? Also nope. But I did pull heaps of dandelions! Apparently I've become the stereotype of an unhelpful husband.

One of the fun things about living in a small town/rural community is how fancy dress at school awards ceremonies includes so many rodeo belt buckles.

I was honoured to contribute to this excellent resource. kyrianetwork.com/thinkagain/ My article and interview are about what the apostle Paul really thought about women ministers.

Imagine the impact of data centers on homeopathic medicines. Tragic.

When we teach about the gleaning laws in Scripture, we tend to speak to people about being generous landowners leaving much for gleaners. These passages are also for gleaners today. The Lord loves you and wants you to be part of communities with abundant fields where he provides for you.🌾

And therein lies the problem.

Instead of all this AI nonsense, I'd improve Google by incorporating train schedules into Maps. Show me how long a train is and which direction it's headed, in real time, please and thank you! Sincerely, a resident of a town established by the railway company. Now how would YOU improve Google?

Just received the apologetic text cancelling plans this morning 🎉 It will still be a busy day, but I have time to sit and enjoy my coffee first!

My grandpa served in the war with Mowat, and said he could never be the writer Mowat was b/c my grandpa was more insistent on sticking to the truth 😄 It would still be worth reading Mowat and getting a feel for their experiences, but I'll just take some of the stories with a little grain of salt.

My newest book, WE ARE MADE OF US, is now available for preorder. 🫶✍️ It’s about family dynamics, facing inherited trauma, and reclaiming motherland. It’s part memoir, part guide, and part hospital stories through my decade of chaplaincy. Preorder here: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/796363...

weird that my job is writing book reports every week for the longest running book club in history ⚓

Long gone are those remembered days

"Albertans are living under a separatist regime" - so true. I'm grateful for the courageous persistence of the Treaty No. 6, Treaty No. 7, and Treaty No. 8 First Nations, despite the Alberta government repeatedly finding new, illegal ways to try to separate from Canada.

I noticed during the pandemic that people most likely to mask, distance, etc. were those people who were already comfortable with discomfort. They'd learned to grieve, or live with a disability, or been marginalised in some way. The people who didn't know how to process discomfort screamed.

Thank you, @mburtwrites.bsky.social for this dive into the reasons for the emphasis on parents presenting a 'united front', which ends up enabling child abuse. So many of our parents practiced this, and it was still a message I had to resist when trying to protect my own kids.

I'm opposed to urban sprawl overtaking farmland, yet also want everyone to have their own yard for kids and pets and introverted gardening. What solutions have smart communities found?

Washing Machine Time Units do not convert to any known system of telling time.

One of the most terrifying images in history: Gaza transformed from life into death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026 💔

I need to Canadians to look at what policies politicians are putting forth without looking at who put it forth or what party they are from. Evidence based and logical policy is good policy regardless of who proposes it. The same can be said of non evidenced based policy being bad policy.

Let's please just refer to what Mark Carney is engaging in by its proper name: disaster capitalism. A crisis is being used to push through policies benefitting corporate interests that Canadians might question more thoroughly if we weren't overwhelmed and distracted.

me, buying a book written by someone who I've never met but we sometimes like each other's posts on Bluesky: my friend wrote this

Happy Mother's Day! And Jesus said, "Come!" To all mothers and all children: he said, "Come!" To the motherless and the childless: he said, "Come!" To all who long to be mothered: he said, "Come!”

It's me!

Why am I so exhausted? (Surely it has nothing to do with how late I stay up, how early I get up, and how often I'm woken up in the night) It's *such* a mystery!

The bad news is I went to wash a load of laundry and found a previous load still in the washer, from who knows when. The good news is I had forgotten to start the old load, so it's just dirty, not mildewy! Follow for more life hacks...
