King John was not a good man
He had his little ways,
& sometimes no one spoke to him
for days & days & days.
& round about December
The menu for his feast
Which offered all the Christmas feels
& brought on lots of joyful squeals
At one time had 10k eels!
And later that increased.

"I'm Red Sauce Italian" even works as a shorthand to explain your ethnic heritage.
"Red sauce" meaning some sort of tomato sauce for pasta has become so ubiquitous that if I said "one of those red sauce Italian joints" millions of Americans will know what I mean.

I met rep @ilhanmn.bsky.social at pride in 2024. I turned the corner & shocked to see her blurted "whoa! that's Ilhan Omar!" she heard and we both laughed
She's genuinely great and I'm thankful she represents me!
Wish the @housedemocrats.bsky.social would stand up for her and our somali community.

It's Matthew Paris time!
That's right: 13th century England's premier mapmaker and monk! A friend to kings, & the kind of man who could draw an elephant right.
He drew the first maps of England (like the one below) and he's the subject my December bonus newsletter:

⚓ the perennial "im pretty sure there's some @earthandaltarmag.com articles about this"
church nerds: has anyone written a history of how theology - especially popular theology - was affected by hymns? Sydney Carter has done more to shape people's beliefs than any Archbishop of Canterbury, but I also suspect that 'blood' and 'good' once rhyming in English mattered.
