Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Tomorrow's children's message:

I'll hand out pieces of paper with types of people Jesus calls us to love written on them. Ex: Neighbors, strangers, enemies, etc.

THEN I'll hand out pieces of paper with people Jesus tells us NOT to love.

*plot twist*

The second pieces of paper are all blank.

Today I've discovered an animal called "Skeleton panda sea squirt" exists. A sessile, filter feeding tunicat.

This #Ashes series reminds me a lot of the 2013/14 men’s Ashes (the Mitchell Johnson series). England come over expecting to be competitive but get utterly destroyed and demoralised instead. Probs gonna see some major changes to the English setup when they get home.

Alana King is unplayable. Something that’s really good if you’re a cricket bowler, but really bad if you’re trying to promote your debut pop album. #Ashes

Is there a luckier player in Test cricket than Marnus Labuschagne??? The missed runout, then umpire’s call on DRS, now somehow not being bowled by that ripper. #AusvSL

Guess not. #SLvAus

Only six players have scored a ton before lunch on day one of a test match. Could Trav become the seventh? #SLvAus

Trav is upset that he missed out on the BBL so he’s just decided to BBL this test match. #SLvAus

I find it particularly important on this date to acknowledge that I am living on the traditional lands of the Kaurna and Peramangk people. Always was, always will be.

Final result: Mooney 94 not out def. England 90 all out by 4 runs. #Ashes

Honestly the fielding has been the most noticeable difference in this game. Outside of one dropped catch the Aussies have barely set a foot wrong in the field, and the last two dismissals wouldn’t have been possible if not for fielding brilliance. #Ashes

Update: Different kid this time. He’s asked to start a chant for the crowd.

“Let’s go Strikers, let’s go!”

Once again, perfect answer, no notes.

I think the real question now is can England get past Mooney’s score. Not sure they will. #Ashes

Shout out to umpires Eloise Sheridan and Claire Polosak. They’ve been on the money tonight. #Ashes

Just a casual 2/2 from Wareham that over. If it wasn’t over before it’s over now. #Ashes

"If the world adopted a plant-based diet, we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares"

Imagine 3 billion more hectares for fully wild ecosystems.

Diet is THE elephant in the room when it comes to reversing nature collapse.

We could reduce the amount of land used for grazing and croplands used to grow animal feed.

They’re interviewing a kid in the crowd.

“Watching it.”

Lauren Filer has fallen over a couple of times. Time to change her name to Lauren Faller. Please laugh. #Ashes

Bottom level of the members’ area already pretty full. Could be a squeeze since the top level hasn’t been opened. Was a long line to enter bc most gates weren’t open. Seems like Adelaide Oval might be a little understaffed tonight.

Ready for the last #Ashes T20. Let’s get up 12-0!

Imagine being the Thunder bowlers here. You’re defending a low total, you take a few early wickets to maybe get on top… and suddenly you’re bowling to Maxwell and Stoinis. Bloody nightmare. #bbl14
