The first lesson to children in the building of social trust is to ride a rollercoaster. The ricketier and more terrifying the better.

MY VANILLA CONCHA HAS BEEN DISPLACED BY MATCHA CONCHAS AND RESTAURANTS HAVE SECONDARY UNSPICY MENUS I’m so serious this is a crisis

K im glad it’s not just me

Today’s collect, if TEC still used the 1928 prayerbook ⚓️

Nice

Oh my good lord there are too many gringos in Mexico City. I have seen with mine eye that they are come to this place and run amok. This is not allowed because only I am allowed

And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee … [T]hy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

I used to think they were just roommates. Idk thought he was gay

My take is she was a one out a million not super bright persons who got carried away online and then, randomly, was elected. Her story reflects less about herself and everything that’s rotten about the stinking accursed Republican Party

Do you ever just youtube.com/watch?v=cfJo...

Thank you to those who continue to refrain from splitting infinitives.

And so who will tell you how to make a people out of America, in all its diversity, but we who made a people of the most traumatized exiles of half a continent?

There are gods who came with us across the water in whose force we operate as the best of ourselves—and there were gods born on the boat—and there were gods born right here. The African American reconstruction of English, a principle as powerful as English itself, belongs to the final category.

If Black vernacular were not so powerful you would not see so many non-Black people adopting it for nearly all social and emotional purposes.

Be sure to learn and commit to heart the all-important three-legged stool! Prayer fasting and almsgiving 😌

As far as ~shewing forth~ God’s glory/majesty goes (it goes far) classical* Episcopalianism is imo the superlative Protestant tradition. Theological basis is Reformed but iconoclastic impulse stunts execution elsewhere. *We’ve grown intemperate in our egalitarianism. See eg push to discard “Lord”

Trans people rock. I love them.

I have been listening to PODCASTS

Might be off base here but it seems to me we’ve made huge advances in ancient near eastern and Hebraic studies in the last century that should prompt Christians to revive a focus on the Old Testament. We’ve got a very great deal to discover and recover in there about God and Creation.

Not uncomfortable saying as a seventh gen Floridian this place was cursed from the start. US acquired the territory and removed the Seminoles mainly bc marronage threatened slavery. Prior to that an entirely different set of peoples living under Spain were exterminated by the Carolina slave trade.

Amazing

Previous owner left behind a leaf blower, but I will not use it, because they are an abomination. I will destroy the leaf blower. I will smash it.

His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own pate.

Oh, look, AI is empowering cheats in authoritarian societies to undermine professional science in the free world. Cool! Awesome.

We now have judges who write and issue opinions that say “Democrat Party”

Comey. You f*cking dumb f*ck. Don’t be happy because you did this to yourself.

Seems for a lot of folks “liberalism” just and only means “disappointing contemptible status quo-ism” of the day, rather unaware of the actual system of philosophy itself

I hope Ms Abughazaleh wins her race. She’s proven herself as a leader for the times.

In heaven there are trees; the heavenly trees are a mix of hardwoods and palmettos

Deliberation is a structural requirement you can’t build into the structure. It requires virtue, training and discipline.

I’d give a kidney to read J’s take on the vanquishing of Leviathan. (Censorship?!?!!)

Not new but excellent Bible Project discussion here (at 33:50) of the numinous, puzzling and sublime story of Jacob’s Ladder. Origin story of Bethel with shades of Babel, window into ancient Israelite theological development, temples, anointing & other goodies. ⚓️ open.spotify.com/episode/4EXo...

HAPPY OLD HALLOWEEN YALL

Cease and decease

Extremely displeased to find the Martha White flour has been displaced at the grocery store by some crunchy hipster brand

To put it in happily partisan lay terms, it so happens that one of our parties has transmogrified itself into the face of an old and pernicious evil dwelling in this land. Impossible to ignore.

Spotted one (1) monarch butterfly 👑🦋 a member of the non-migratory population here in S. Fla.

LORD of all power and might, Who art the author and giver of all good things; Graft in our hearts the love of thy Name, Increase in us true religion, Nourish us with all goodness, And of thy great mercy keep us in the same; thru… A favorite from the ‘28, Office of Instruction + 7th Sun after Trin ⚓️

Second (third) coming of the klan ffs

Resent being made to look at my email. Do you even know what’s in there. What could be in there. And you wish for me to go in and look and see

Big puppy becoming increasingly huge still needs, NEEDS, to sit in my lap, through all hours of computer use, or else destroy our very dwelling place.

Sometimes one simply follows a rule, even though you know absolutely for sure it is not real; it does not exist

When dreams don’t come true, you may find dream state a suitable alternative

This is utterly unacceptable behavior. Gross, entirely unjustified aggression, targeted at real ass people, systematically. Trans Americans need and deserve the fullest force of legal class protections. Reconstruction II / Woke II, on a lot, when we’re in actual power.

O, my heart ♥️

“for her support” lol. Mr President

Every morning I wake up with a choice. I can get out of bed for the light of Christ or for my burning hatred of republicans. And most days I say Yes

I’ve learned what voter ambivalence feels like because the shoo-in I was gonna vote for was rude to me in an elevator once. Therefore I forgot. To vote. ☹️
