Artists developed a whole iconography of the planets, fusing ancient mythology and medieval culture. This week’s newsletter is all about how medieval people understood the celestial bodies.

Every day hard working journalists at the Times covering American political discourse madly inputing anything they can think of into Yahoo! search because their employer's journalist standards forbid the use of Urban Dictionary euphemisms.

"I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know. I do know that the Democrats are the ones with Delhi belly locked in the bathroom preventing the American people from getting the relief they need, not President Trump. Now if you would excuse me, I gotta go real bad to attend a fecal matter."

I'm Episcopalian, but attended a Friend's school. The two aren't as different as you might think! To find Quaker meetings near you try the Quaker Finder by Friends General Conference. Good luck and I hope you find whatever it is you seek to nourish both your public and private spiritual life.

Quaker Finder - Friends General Conference

Friends General Conference offers Quaker Finder as a tool for Friends and visitors to find a meeting, church, or worship group.

If the Irish think you're a tyrant you need to take a good look at yourself in a mirror while reconsidering your life choices because you are, in fact, a tyrant. The people of Hibernia are basically Ex cathedra when speaking on this subject.

Of all the clerics they could have popped, those ICE idiots had to hit Hot Priest.

A www.realrentduwamish.org offering plate will be passed around half-way through the protest right after land acknowledgement, but before the Passing of the Peace.

Seriously though, take a moment to support federal recognition of the Duwamish tribe and consider financial support to them.

Fun fact for #nokings. To severe allegiance to the King of England, the Episcopal Church's 1st American Bishop was consecrated by the Scottish Episcopal Church, which did not require an oath to the British Crown for Apostolic Succession (fancy word for authority that traces back to Christ).

You guys, I think we missed a real opportunity to call it No Kings Day the II. Let's really lean in and call the next one No Kings Day the III. I should have my Battletoad costume done by then. #nokings

If milk helps break down the capsaicin, it is marginal at best while increasing other risk factors. It doesn't help for CN at all, which also brings up another important point: you don't know what chemical agents someone was sprayed with which could have undesirable outcomes if mixed with non-water.

Also, super interesting how involved the Black Panther Party was in supporting Sickle Cell Anemia research through screening clinics.
