As someone who likes to #write, I really tend to struggle with the incoherence or incompleteness of my own thoughts and ideas. It's like my mind is a kaleidoscope of conceptual shapes, corners, and angles scraping against each other to form "the way I think about things."

Sort of, anyway.

Feels like every two or three months now I hear about how #blogging is dead. Especially in the tech scene where I work. If you like something a bit deeper, are interested in faith and supporting #small #writers, maybe check out my post from last Friday here:

If my friends ever wonder just how autistic I actually am, aside from mentioning how early and obviously I was diagnosed, I like to show them this cup. I use it *exclusively* for tea. No coffee or other liquids allowed.

It's the teacup.
The cup made specifically for Jacob's tea.

If your version of "Christian Masculinity" (or however you want to phrase it) doesn't involve true, deep humility at its core, then you promote tyranny not masculinity.

As someone who struggles a bit with sudden #anxiety symptoms, I've found Calmaria (calmaria.app) a really helpful resource to take advantage of during my working hours. Highly recommend!

If you're ever feeling aimless and anxious, take an online course. Learning in a well-formatted setting does wonders for your brain.

Please understand that as more people join Bluesky, there are more people who do not know that they used to call me The Drift King back in college. Please help spread the word

"As the Franciscan friars have known through the grace of the Holy Spirit—as they began to do in 1987 in the South Bronx and continue to do today—and as Christians have done for centuries, we are fully equipped and capable of holiness in darkness" — Fr. Mark-Mary Ames, CFR.
