It is. I’m reupholstering my favorite lawn chair with an old quilt I found at the thrift store. The chair, from the same thrift store, gave me three good years already.

Before the white smoke rose in Rome, Robert Francis Prevost spent years in Peru, walking among Indigenous peoples in the Andes. He was a missionary there

a man of the Church bringing his teachings into communities that already had their own ways of praying, healing, and knowing the land. Some say he offered education and support. Others know the weight that always follows when priests arrive with crosses in one hand and promises in the other.

He is no stranger to our communities — not by name, but by role.
A missionary.
To many of our ancestors, that meant more than faith. It meant the dismantling of language, the replacing of ceremony, the burning of sacred objects.

Pope Leo XIV brings with him the promise of continuity — to build on what was started.
But we do not need continuation. We need transformation.

We went to Athens Greece to meet some of our kids for a few days. It was hot and noisy, but the Acropolis Museum was very cool, and it was great to be with the family. Tom and our littlest one.

Now people will be afraid to get tested. Rates of autism will therefore go down. RFK Jr will have stopped vaccines by then, claiming his "research" (due by September) showed they cause autism, & then he'll say it was the lower vaccination rates that caused the decline in autism.

Finished Montsegur a couple days ago, slogging through the history of Cordes in French, and today began The Good Mayor, which caught me on the first page. He’s the mayor of Dot on the river Ampersand!
