For someone who posed as “anti-Trump” he sure is sounding a lot like Auntie Trump.

I love when people tell me “Christmas was just stolen from pagans” as if
1) that were true - it isn’t.
2) they know anything about the history of Christianity and the development of its theology and feast days - they dont.
3) they know about the complicated, nuanced history of paganism -they don’t

I love the rush to come up with expanded “Wicked” storylines and films and how it’s being marketed as “We have a responsibility to the fans to make more content”.
I think you meant “responsibility to shareholders to make more money”.
The naked capitalism is almost shocking in its directness.

Now we come to that time of year when I ask Jesus to help me prepare for his coming by granting me the grace not to judge the wreaths on my neighbours doors or the trees in their windows.
Then again I probably would have made suggestions to Mary on how to better arrange the straw in the manger.

The ordination of our Curate the Rev. Dr. James Leatch @stjohnsdixiechurch.bsky.social last Sunday.
Taken after I had finished preaching and moments before I slipped out to projectile vomit in the washroom.
Better after the sermon than during. 😳🤢

Nurse Chester back on duty.
Was terribly nauseous after morning services yesterday. Managed to preach at our curate’s ordination and see him ordained - then had to bow out as I felt the nausea returning. Grateful for an understanding bishop and for parishioners who held the reception without me.

One of the things I admire about my husband is his enthusiasm for life. He finds such joy and excitement in the most mundane of things. I envy this ability.
But….
It does often lead to an overabundance of information when he is asked a simple question. He is the King of Overexplaining. /1 …

My current source of outrage is everyone thinking Oz started in 1939.
Schwartz is talking about another movie to “expand the Oz franchise” like L.Frank Baum and subsequent writers Ruth Plumly Thompson, John R. Neill, Jack Snow, and Eloise Jarvis McGraw haven’t already written 40 books about Oz.

Was bringing up all the things needed for the Advent Wreath in the church and I got thinking about that first candle we light every year, symbolizing Hope.
Every year gives me more and more reason to find hope near impossible.
And I light the candle anyway. In defiance.

This is conspiracy theory stuff. China doesn’t need to spy on baby monitors to know what Americans are doing. They can just open Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or one of the many apps that Americans use to share the kind of information that two generations ago couldn’t be waterboarded out of them.
HINSON: As a mom, I think about watching a baby monitor. That's a very intimate moment with your baby and to think the Chinese could be spying on your morning routine
BARTIROMO: Why are they spying on moms?
HINSON: They just want to know what Americans are up to to undermine our way of life

This isn’t accidental. They’re seeing how far they can push and testing what they can get away with.
What the hell: The US accidentally invaded Mexico on Monday, storming a beach and planting DoD “restricted area” signs claiming the land for “the commander,” and triggered a standoff with armed Mexican security forces, all because Trump’s government can’t even identify a border on a map. 🧵 1/

In the Canadian national anthem we pledge to “stand on guard”.
This kind of far right, deliberately misleading, anti-science government is one of the things Canadians should be standing on guard against.
It won’t stop with attacks on trans people. We only have to look south of the border….

Marriage is just sending one another memes all day - to show how you share the same warped sense of humour OR to make a passive aggressive point that your spouse will respond to by sending you their own passive aggressive meme.
