#OTD in Weather History, 48 years ago, on November 10, 1975, the ore freighter SS EDMUND FITZGERALD was lost with all hands in a severe storm on Lake Superior.

She is perhaps the best known shipwreck on the Great Lakes, and today we remember her loss. 1/

Portland's famous Unipiper was spotted at the Portland ICE protest where he played his bagpipes in front of Santa, Mr. Potato Head, Garfield and more -- all while surrounded by bubbles.

Vegeta: What does the scouter say?
Napa: Power level 9000. But that's as high as the meter...
Vegeta: 9000 - not great, not terrible.

It's a 3/10 Sunday as a coastal storm delivers cloudy skies, gusty winds and some light showers. Those hoping for significant rainfall will probably be disappointed.

Where's the heavy rain? At the beaches, along with strong winds & big waves 🌊🏖️

This is a little performative for most Protestants and it is Extremely Not for most Catholics.

Some clergy are begging to be allowed closer to the detention center to perform communion.

"You are preventing our religious freedom," someone in the crowd shouts.

I hope whoever reads this, if you're in the closet (especially if you're figuring things out as a surprise later in life like I did), that you give yourself permission to share more of yourself and not walk through life like a translucent ghost.

In this calm after infinite baseball and before football, I just want to note it's National Coming Out Day

It will always be some degree of scary because you're putting your heart on the line, an exposure of your real self without any protective layers of ironic detachment

But it's been worth it.

What Fr Dowling is doing here was not just "offering communion to detainees". A full on Eucharistic Procession is a really fucking big deal. In Catholic theological framing, those folks were the honor guard with the very great privilege of escorting Jesus himself to the detention center.

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Rich Raho @richraho.bsky.social · 17h

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.”

Because boy, howdy, nobody knows ritual and symbolism like the Catholic Church, and having it turned squarely back on the Very Bad Catholics who have been the public standard-bearers of wielding it for evil for so long is really good to see.

Foxtober 11th: Caramel Apple

I just felt like drawing Mahri gnawing on a caramel apple like a dog with a ball or something while she's distracted by research findings. 🦊🍎

All but two sketch slots have sold, which is wild to me. Well, other than the few I took for myself. the 14th is my birthday and I always draw Gavin and Amira fluff for that day. But per tradition I'll be drawing Justin on another day.

Boy it’s amazing how much better a hot shower, a hot meal, and a nice cuppa tea can make you feel.

Today is Day Four of being sick, but I’m feeling a whole lot better now after a belated lunch.

Brb gonna go stare off into the middle distance for a while

My funny story about National Coming Out day is that two years ago that’s when I called my dad to tell him I’m trans- and only realized it was National Coming Out Day after the phone call, when my little brother told me.
