I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

So far today, Chuck Schumer has said his strategy for preventing Trump sending troops into blue cities is to win over Republican senators (!) while Hakeem Jeffries praised Eric Adams's courage and authenticity (!!) while refusing to endorse Mamdani. Again.

These two gotta go.

I finally got around to watching "Wings of Desire," a movie I first heard about on @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's show and it's pretty remarkable. It's not a film that can be described by naming any other.

A group of swans on a pond. Still shot from the movie Wings of Desire.

I can definitely relate. Was meeting with several folks yesterday and we suggested another meeting time in 2025. Ha! With annual convention and Advent and the ECW dinner and and and!?! Doodle and google forms helps some though.

Do Psalm for the Wild Built after. It will help some.

Anchor down. (I did not attend Vanderbilt; my son did, which is to say, a large sum of our money also went to VU.)

Should I ever come into substantial money, I'd love to make a movie about Smaragdus. ⚓

What's the nearest parish with a priest? We have a person in one discernment group that attends the nearest church with a priest. That helps her keep moving some anyway. Might not be feasible for you though.

Amazing.

G @wake3d.bsky.social · 23d

What are some good sources for more info. on that?

G @wake3d.bsky.social · 24d

I was glad to be in the house of the Lord and enjoyed being with so many joyful people. Our priest did not ignore the fear and hate of our current world, but encouraged us to see God's mercy in times of grief and danger.

⚓ Anglican type friends, we have words for everything, so is there a word for where the acolytes put the cross and torches "at rest" during the service? It's just a wooden bracket thing, but surely it has a name?
