“Who was this charismatic nun with a Southern twang and an eye for lighting? Why did she leave her marriage, a fledgling comedy career and a stable job for a life of prayer? And, let’s be honest, who knew there were Episcopal nuns?” Congrats Sr Monica [email protected] #tec

Overheard (by me, from me. It me. I said it.) "I'm not saying it can't be art; I'm saying it can't be funny!"

When I think that all the stuff going on can't really change things TOO much (which is a result of a number of axes of privilege and a little luck of the draw that I even CAN think that) I remember I grew up with two Germanies, a Yugoslavia, a Czechoslovakia, and one big USSR. Not that long ago.

For those I may not be connected to elsewhere, my father died on April 10. I collaborated on this obituary. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie... Apologies to anyone who might have gone to the funeral and didn't hear. I presided, an altar party/choir emerged from friends in 4 states. Gratitude for many.

It's taken me many years to (ALMOST) learn that terse is not the same as: mean, angry, hostile, etc. Most of the time I remember that.

@booker.senate.gov has been speaking on the Senate floor against the Trump administration's lawlessness for 21 hours and counting. In three more hours he will break Strom Thurmond's record. Fuck 'em up, Cory.

My Old Testament 1 class was recorded. And the last session ended in the coolest way I've ever had a class ended, see for yourself youtu.be/QuS588-i-bU?... nutshell, he relates the intratextual commentators with us as in unbroken line. Worth watching. 🕯️ But I'm here to make a more trivial point...

Hot take: When you lie to make yourself look good? You don't really look good. Integrity is a good look on anyone. 🕯️

Congregations 🕯️ that have the Last Gospel. I know about changing it when the Gospel for the day is John 1, but I have found evidence that there are "proper" last Gospels for some other days, including Feasts of Our Lady (e.g. tomorrow) but not evidence of what they are! Clues? Better yet, a list?

🕯️Early morning sermon revision just NEARLY took me down a rabbit hole of the sexual structures of fig trees. Nearly. I got this far and then realized that it was understand fig trees OR revise sermon. Not both. borneoficus.info/2017/03/03/f...

Can I just say that when you are out of touch (like me!) and do not know that PDA no longer means "public display of affection" but "pathological demand avoidance" makes getting sucked into a video about PDA behavior Very Confusing!

This is both a lovely story of people making something lovely, and finally explained to me the parallelism in the song: Hedger and Ditcher. I never figured how ditch digging (the meaning of ditcher??) was parallel to hedge... trimmer? hedge!=hedgerow www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Over heard on ad for a college, "What if experience taught more than exams?" Wow, that pedagogy is screwed up. Exams aren't meant to teach. Ideally, they are measurements of what has already been taught. (And even that reasoning is hotly debated.)

I've been sick in bed all week, and I'm at that annoying almost well part where "being sick" activities are starting to get boring, but brain is too weak for much computer work and cooking is currently being treated by my body as heavy cardio.
