For those not fluent in Catholic: refusing the Monstrance is not denying prisoners the Eucharist, it is refusing Christ himself, since Christ is present in the Monstrance.

If Portland’s blow up animals are the right language for Portland, this is the right language for Chicago.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Wow. October hit and my bipolar really said “the air is crisp, time to get fucking SAD!”
Would it even be fall if I didn’t wake up feeling that cold anxious tingling and spend most of my day holding back tears for literally no reason?
I’m gonna need to call the doctor soon I think. Yay!

I have no idea what I just spent the last three hours watching, but it was not the Brewers that we’ve been watching all season.

I don’t know what the umpire was watching either though. This game was an excellent case for ABS next year.

Important update everyone: I’ve now been added to the family Brewers Gameday signal group! That’s two sports now!

The way the dropped the ball on promoting this movie too. The fact that all of the actors are only now doing all this press. Netflix/Sony had no idea what had here. None.

Unsexy infrastructure is good.

The "anarchists" I have met who don't want to have a society that can manufacture and distribute basic life-saving medications can fuck off.

Being cool with death and suffering in favor of a political aesthetic is bad, actually. It doesn't matter who's doing it.

Phoenix Calida @phoenixcalida.bsky.social · 2d

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.

It’s wild to me that all three of the singing voices didn’t “make it” as K-pop idols and yet they now have a platinum record after doing a kids movie that didn’t even have a theatrical release originally. The whole thing is wild.

I have done this before and it is absolutely devastating. Sometimes I dream about who I could have been if that horrible day had never happened.

Amelia @gingerreckoning.bsky.social · 2d

I was planning on watching the game tonight and then Eleanor asked for pancakes for dinner. I didn’t even think about it while I was making them, but I have the perfect game time snack!

It is too fucking early to get spoken down to by doctors who won’t even sign their own names on one thing per year.

About $25 billion annually could end child hunger in the US.

About $20 billion could house folks with housing vouchers.

We gave $170 billion to ICE in the big ugly bill.

Instead of feeding children and housing families, our tax dollars are going to terrorize communities.

Gotta take them to the park to get their energy out. It’s nice to bring the dog along too.

No for real though, shutdown is bad. CTSU will probably be back up shortly and so far things have been okay but I don’t love part of my job now involves thinking about how this congressional republican tantrum is hurting cancer patients in Oconomowoc, WI.

Amelia @gingerreckoning.bsky.social · 8d

And now the website I use to get a bunch of study info is down (which honestly happens fairly often) and I’m like “NOT THE SHUTDOWN! I GOTTA GET MY PDFs!”

Not loving the emails I’m getting at work being like “sorry about the government shutdowns, here’s our plan to keep doing cancer research though.”

This comes while there have also been months of “sorry they decided that this study isn’t important enough so we have to stop” announcements.

They definitely didn’t teach me about this at Benjamin Franklin Elementary School!

Vulgar History @vulgarhistory.bsky.social · 8d

Throughout his life, Benjamin Franklin nursed a not-so-secret desire to annex Canada and make it American.
But he failed, over and over again.
Author Madelaine Drohan has written all about this in her new book, He Did Not Conquer. And she joins us on the podcast to tell all! pod.link/1489560920/e...

I’m loving the Reddit posts of people getting their wait list numbers for packers season tickets. Just saw some whose number was over 142,000.

This take is absolutely correct and I took Tylenol while I was pregnant?

As President Trump ramps up efforts to send federal officers and troops into cities, criminologists are watching closely. Are the feds doing this in a smart way?

National Guard presence may deter crime, but experts warn of the long-term costs
