I am actually speechless at the power of this imagery and the effect it will have on anyone who has ever taken their Catholicism remotely seriously.

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.”

Isaac and I were trying to game out what SF’s it factor is — the equivalent of Portland’s theatre-kid whimsy — so we can use it tactically when they try deploying troops here. our conclusion was that it’s gay fucking, and so we need to really roll out the red carpet during fleet week

if you’re in the Bay Area you can go meet her at Muttville in SF — she’s not on their website yet as she’s a very new arrival but she will be adoptable! she’s seven years old, reserved but very happy to hang out. she waggled her paws admonishingly at me every time I stopped petting her

last night we had dinner at our friends' place and I drank Disco Lemonade (a 14% vodka/huckleberry/lemonade melange that promised "bomb diggity good vibes"), became very joyful and briefly forgot about the world caving in. is my skull paying the price of freedom today? you know it. worth it though
