A movie where the ghost of Jesus (he’s dead) haunts all the evangelicals who used his name to be horrible. There’s a scene where Jesus appears in the passenger seat next to an actress who looks uncannily like a certain country singer, grabs the steering wheel and forces her off the road.

Make art. Start making art. Keep making art. Art is resistance. The art will save us.

I didn't really become a Lynch believer until 2024. So it's bittersweet to have fallen in love with him and then know he's gone. I grew to see him as Mr. Rodgers for disenchanted grownups. Maybe: "what do you do with the Weird you feel?" Or: "Hellow Shadow, won't you be my neighbor?"

Happy birthday to @daviddark.bsky.social who once said that “you can’t hand someone their epiphany.” He also taught me to slow the tape, to stand where I am and be human there, & that the glory of God is a human being fully alive. Here’s to many more years, David. I’m grateful for your witness.

Words matter. For example, if you changed that line in “Christmas Shoes” to “would you hurry, sir? Diddy says there’s not much time,” you change the context entirely. What wouldn’t change is my feelings about the song.

Honestly, if he was out shoe shopping on Christmas Eve while his mom was on her deathbed, I feel like he was probably picking up something for himself too.

Right after The Big Lebowski came out, Thomas Kinkade and I were bowling like normal, except now he wanted me to call him “The Dude.” My only issue was that he kept saying Walter’s lines because he liked the profanity. I’d had enough of it and told him so. “Eight year olds,” he laughed. I miss him.

Working from home is great but one potential downside is getting to the grocery store without remembering to change shoes.

This thread is like a poetical call and response about our relationship with humor during times of civil upset. May our senses of humor survive the serious actions we must take.

I want to hear one little, silly thing you are NOT thankful for. Mine is leaf blowers. The scourge of neighborhood birders everywhere.
