I visited that church on a trip to Rome. The monk tending the till in the gift shop spent more time checking out my rear end than my purchases. ;). It’s a beautiful space. ⚓️

Preach.

UNC Asheville has a gem of a baseball announcer. ⚾️ “That ball is headed for a Kia. Not sure what it is about a Kia in the parking lot, but they seem to be stray baseball magnets. Not sure if that is standard equipment or if you have to pay extra.”

If your parish flower guild didn’t put carrots in the bouquets, how will the Easter bunny ever know to eat them? I think there’s kale in there, too. ⚓️🐰

Just do the next right thing.

Meow.

It’s Tenebrae time. (Saint John’s Cathedral, Denver)

I suppose someone finally took us up on the “why don’t you two settle this by going out back and whipping them out.” Also, is this the Onan race?

As if I needed more evidence of a new Gilded Age. The gilding is dross. Good thing they bought them before jacking up the tariffs?

"Molly Put the Kettle On" brings me back to sitting in my mentor Joe Thompson's parlour and falling into a trance state of playing with him. Justin Robinson and I recorded this at Joe's home in Mebane, NC with Justin “Demeanor” Harrington on bones.

Holy Week/ Hell Week ⚓️ In the theatre community, when we spend many hours working late into the night deep inside a building, praying that the lights and sound all work at the right moment, dealing with potentially cranky underslept and overcaffienated coworkers, 1/3

I found a dried-up fountain pen in my unpacking today. It made such a lovely pattern while I soaked it back to life. It writes beautifully again.

It is very good question and one I’ve been asking for months. If there is an international agreement with El Salvador for these renditions, the Trump administration is legally required under the Case-Zablocki Act to share it with Congress. To my knowledge, they have not done so.

Putting America first should mean being on the leading edge of research and development of how the world will work 30 years from now. We will be left behind by the rest of the world on climate leadership.

Which MLB manager will be out the soonest this year? Atlanta White Sox Rockies

Who has this sort of space on a bookshelf? Mine are double-stacked and in danger of exploding like a sardine can.

As there are now 8 of them (plus an entire set of television series), perhaps the missions are more possible than advertised.

I have seen the dumb men throng to see him

As a comfortable-income house, $300 more in groceries will be difficult to put in the budget. It will make a lot of other things out of reach. It will hurt restaurants because I can cook better and cheaper than eating out.

The SF Giants had a therapy bunny in attendance at a recent game. The little hat is what makes it online therapy as well. Hope your week is filled with bunnies wearing ball caps. ⚓️⚾️

I love when we keep our well-loved pieces in the pews. ⚓️

We are tempted to try to avoid not only our own suffering, but also that of our fellow human beings, the suffering of the world, which is part of our own suffering. But...Kafka reminds us that, "It may be that this very holding back is the one evil you could have avoided." Walking on Water

March on, my fellows!

A few years back, a veteran, conservative friend of mine was pissed a.f. that Obama didn’t attend the 150th anniversary of Gettysburg. I’m sure that same person will be just as hopping grumpy about Trump’s actions here. Certain. Absolutely. Right?

🐾🤍.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

What a terrible timeline to be a new parent.

My 14yo will be devastated.

I wish my team would wait until at least August to break my heart.

Since the Place of Faces seems to be trying to throttle her content, I’m trying to make sure it shows up everywhere else as well. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

James seems to have cracked the secret of Trump's tariffs? It's astonishingly stupid: the US have assumed that any difference between what goods they sell a country and what goods they buy from that country is a "tariff". Totally bonkers! Link to full Twitter thread below. x.com/jamessurowie...
