Abraham replied, “They have the notices in the bulletin; let them read them.”

She said, “Nay, Father Abraham; but if one read out unto them the notices after church, they will pay attention.”

That said: I have this pronunciation because my dad enforced it when I was small and he's exactly the type of person to enforce a technically correct pronunciation that is not actually current. So who can say

was trying to formulate like "type of special interest zone that makes you feel like you're having an experience of reality that kind of has nothing to do with the ordinary human life that other people are in" and then i remembered about the derivation of the word autism. Haha anyway

for reasons largely outside my control it's kind of unclear what my personality is even like right now. But I'm having a nice time

this really is my position; almost everything that I like about my life is directly downstream of my spending fall 2018 going on Twitter when I was supposed to be, like, reading the Nicomachean Ethics but probably we don't therefore have to say that it's good that I did that

well yes but the situation is that God's gonna work his providential ends through pretty much any old bullshit. That's in the Bible

very much to do with the specific shape of crazy I went but strong emotional memory of being crazy and feeling like all the broad We of churchy discourse had to offer me was "don't worry! We've baptized the insights of secular psychiatry 👍," which felt I would say insufficient

all the things that God would have us do are hard for us to do

completely get why we wanna be sensitive, when it comes to the Christian prohibition on despair, but it's so funny when we talk about the Christian prohibition on despair as though depressives were exempt from it. You guys no it's like the opposite

this is the way—I will never share who my people are—except the funny thing is that actually my target audience certainly for jokes is just simply Maxine. And she doesn't go on here, because she's smarter than I am

think many would have a better time posting and see their posting quality improve on here if they picked 4-8 people they want to impress and post for them. if they like it, then good for you, really. if they don’t, mute it, delete it, try again. but don’t share who these people are out loud

Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he appointed the vineyard unto keepers; each of whom for the fruit thereof was to bring in a thousand pieces of silver.
