Some really important reflections here....
Today at Meeting it was said that the revolutionary insight of Quakerism is that there is "that of God in everyone," meaning we even have to love people like Prince Andrew. I've heard Quakers say this kind of thing before, but think think they are mistake for a number of reasons... 1/

The poinsettias are holding up surprisingly well in the chapel considering that I doubt they’ve been watered 2x since Christmas Day lol

I know flexibility is an indicator of good health (and that one ought to strive to practice it).
I also know that having good health requires care, and, living here, I am allowed none.
SO. Fuck you to anyone or anything trying to get me to be more flexible right now. Address systems. Not me.

Because I had a door I could close today, I felt significantly less surveilled. Consequently, ironically they got more work out of me because I didn’t rush home like I usually do to escape prying eyes.

I was the one tasked to dim the lights for the quiet carol, so I was by myself. One of the acolytes made sure I had a candle though lol

Listen, I love my friends — and especially the ones I allow to be houseguests. That said, you cannot know how thrilled I am that I don't have houseguests this Christmas.
The holiday (and the ⬆️workload at both Jesus Factories) frazzles me. I need to stare at the wall 12/25-12/27.

Today was a good day. I finished all the stuff for my niece and also made a couple extra things for her.
In other news, I have determined that regular exposure to the smoke of benzoin resinoid is a key element of good mental health for me.

My niece commissioned a bunch of stuff from @holy-odours.bsky.social to give to her friends in Alabama as Yule gifts. Naturally, she'll get it at cost of materials, and I'll send her a bunch of other stuff I'm experimenting with that she didn't order. Hope it makes their little witchy lives better.

I gave a good talk on Mary, Advent, and Music today. (I am particularly equipped.)
My favorite thing was to tell them that their protestant ambivalence about Mary was co-equal to everyone else's secular (and non-/other-religious) ambivalence about Jesus.
Rounded it out by chanting her Song.

Got a lot done with my new hobby @holy-odours.bsky.social. My first tinctures (frankincense, benzoin) are almost done. Thought I would be a candle queen, but it's really about anointing oils + rollerball applicators to me. Wearable. I'm not trying to do perfume but I'm not against it.

Friends, have you tried going into a store and actually trying to find anything lately? Stores do not stock anymore. And I guess there’s nothing to do except come to peace with that and pay shipping and handling everywhere?

Not to be that one but purely as modus operandi, "nothing is true; everything is permitted" goes pretty hard.

👀 The idea of people who regularly try to get you to follow their IG who then turn around and say, “you suck if you’re still on twitter” is… a choice.👀

I dreamed I was in a taxi last night with Ariana and would not shut up about Cynthia's singing, and the whole time she was sitting over there looking at me like, "You know *I'm* here, right?" Love her, but it 👏did 👏not 👏matter👏. I couldn't stop praising Cynthia.
