The established anti-slavery organizations. Moral movements take moral action not because we know our actions will guarantee success, but because we know we forfeit something of who we are if we don’t resist evil.”

“
Abolitionists didn’t have a strategy for how to end chattel slavery, but they knew claiming to own other people was wrong, so they got together and said, “We have to do something.”
They published pamphlets…wrote sermons…started an Underground Railroad. The established anti-slavery organizations.

“
In response to the death-dealing politics of their day, they said, “We don’t know how to stop this, but we have to do something.”
It’s an instinct that has been core to moral movements throughout American history.

A robin fledgling! Oh how precious 😭 I’ve been obsessed with the baby bluebirds we had this year.
That’s so frustrating about the cats. If I find anything that works I’ll pass it along

But the traps combined with the cedarcide has been a great combo

BUT then she carries thay fungus to other water sources and inoculates them too. It hasn’t taken us to 0% but I can stand outside in the morning to let the dogs out without being eaten alive. Still wear bug spray at dusk though

Oh they’re awesome. Have to be installed by a pro company but they are water-based traps. Lure the females to lay eggs, and bacteria in the water kills them before they morph. And the paper she lands on has fungus that kills her/makes her less likely to bite.

No not the baby birds!!! 😭😭 I don’t think it works on cats but apparently citronella or peppermint oil, pepper powder, garlic, and citrus peels repel them? I need to try it too; ours don’t go after birds that I’ve seen but they make my terriers go nuts

YES!!! Several years ago during Covid I got to quaran-retreat with two friends in Hendersonville. We went outside at like 2am to see a meteor shower and all the fireflies were synced. It was like swimming in stars

OH NO actual nightmare material. I cannot with ticks at all. Have you all tried cedarcide? We’ve found it doesn’t hurt the good bugs at all but the mosquitoes and ticks hate it

When do they show up for you all up there?

Oh good to know! I’ve got leaf litter down PAT 😆 and I’m slowing planting in our pollinators where we tore out tons of dead bushes

So NOT ONLY are we lowkey taking care of all the mosquitos on the block, but none of our neighbors yards seem to have the fireflies so 💁🏻♀️ (I WILL get that yard of the month sign 😤)

I think what did it here was that we stopped spraying for weeds and mosquitoes. We handpull or horti-vinegar weeds now, and use those In2Care fungal traps for the skeeters, which are like witchcraft! i tell you, witchcraft!

I grew up here. The lightning bugs were like “please sir, can I have some water

Idk, I've been enjoying it a lot! Especially in the Gospels were it is nice to enjoy one pericope at a time and not a full chapters worth.

Which for most people is extremely great reading! This is a good thing as far as community-wide suggestions go! And also remembering that the rubrics let you expand or do the readings differently! D.O. has long been a Choose-your-own-adventure kinda book

post
Yo, it's ok my man. This is all adiaphora. First, I meant Ezekiel not Isaiah, typo. The 4 chapters was because I expanded my reading, per the rubrics, and as part of my personal goal to read more this year. But over the 2 year cycle you get 50% of the OT and I think 98% of the NT (per Olson's book)

nothing stopping individuals from doing it like that! Similar vein to that great Daily Office Readings of the Church Fathers from long ago. I can see the choice theyre making tho, bearing in mind the communal prayer of it and the monastic traditions of it.

Like 4 chapters of Isaiah this morning PLUS looking cross-eyed at the Melchizedek arguement in Hebrews was a lot

So it's prioritizing a broad survey incl a bit of apocrypha, with ensuring the epistles & gospels are fully read each year, + a 2ndary priority of themed readings around certain seasons/feasts (what makes for some skipping around some weeks). And trying to do that all in bite-sized pieces is a lot

I really want a Hebrew scholar to do a translation where every time that word is used for idols they literally translate it “sh*t balls.” Like OG tumblr days when someone did the Philistines-to-haters posts

YO it’s not a book but there’s an extremely well done podcast called “Divine Intervention” about the cathleft folks who destroyed a bunch of draft papers and broke into an fbi office. First person interviews, very well done

You can do them whether you’re a priest or not! Lean in to that liturgical seasonal glam!

But also a few of our younger alphabet folks, where the early service is definitely the older crowd
comment in response to

A factor of numbers, really. It has about 25 people total, but about the same number of alphabet folks as our early service

YUP. I recently had someone say “I just don’t understand why we have to talk about it all the time” (we don’t). But this is why I counted Sunday. This is why.

I think the magnets are more popular here because you can move them to a different car, and they don’t mess up the paint

Yes that’s the one I’m thinking of!

They preexisted me so idk where we got them, but I think sticker ninja does magnets too.
